Any other suggestions to add m collection of inks that you can routinely use in work related pens?

Sorry, I don't about know blue-black inks. I'm waiting for Noodler's Blue-Black to arrive in the mail from isellpens. I'm told (and can see on my computer monitor) that Noodler's is one of the darker and blacker blue-blacks. Noodler's comes in several interesting almost-black colors and many high-contrast colors.

For a true black ink, it's hard to go wrong with Noodler's Black, which lives up to its advertised properties and behaves excellently in any fountain pen and on almost any kind of paper. It's reasonably priced and shippable at a reasonable cost in the USA and UK.

I use Noodler's Black in a Duke Complete Esteem fine nib pen and a Lamy Safari broad nib pen. Marks from the fine nib look completely opaque after they dry. Marks from the broad nib vary from completely opaque to slightly less than opaque after they dry, but even the latter condition doesn't detract from the ink's truly black color, and the variation wouldn't bother me if I were reading it for official purposes.

A behavior called "nib creep" on this website is the only complaint I've heard about Noodler's Black (and other waterproof colors and colors which include the black in their mixes): It is difficult to keep Noodler's Black off the nib; it sometimes even creeps back on in small quantities during cap-on time. This doesn't bother me, but if you need a nib's surface to stay ink-free at all times, you won't want to put a black-containing Noodler's or a waterproof Noodler's in that pen.

Another little ink creeping is something I found with squrteague [sic]. I put it in a lamy 2000 and cleaned everything. When I next uncapped it a ring around the section that took some orange cleaner and scrubbing to clean off. It may be that Noodler's has an affinity for metal hence the nib and metal section creeping.

My Noodler's Blue-Black arrived. I've tried it and I like it.

It's distinct from any black ink, yet it's so dark that sometimes I perceive an illusion of a green tint! I guess it depends on the light source, and on the fact that it has so much black in it. Now it looks blue-ish and not greenish at all on paper.

It arrived with some Noodler's Zhivago, which is advertised as a slightly greenish black and is unmistakably true to its advertising.

I ran a quick water test on Blue-Black and Zhivago, side by side on the same scrap of paper. Sure enough, blue was the only dye to separate from Blue-Black (the black staying put, of course), and green was the only dye to separate from Zhivago.

Thank you Steve for your insight, i have ordered both
