Looking For A Permanent Black

[alv_23]

I will take a look on noodler's inks prices.

 

The montblanc permanent (the blue and the black one) are at 22€, but i've seen that the sailor permanent black it's also at 23€. I'm not going to use the permanent ink for a daily use so i'm not going to end the bottle in a short time, but 22€ compared with the 8€ that cost me the diamine of 80ml and the 6€ that cost me the parker quink.

 

Although if the MB worth it I could make an effort and buy it, but I would prefer a cheaper ink.

I would go with J. Herbin Perle Noire or Pilot Namiki Black. They are both good consistent water resistant black inks with good quality control.

Maybe there's an iron gall ink you could get? It's a lot more common for EU brands to have iron gall inks, and those are permanent and have very low feathering. I don't know how dark they usually are, though iron gall inks typically dry to a nice black.

 

Some FP-safe iron gall inks I think are available in Europe are Akkerman #10 (it comes in a huge bottle), Diamine Registrar's ink, ESSRI (that's an acronym, Ecclesiastical Stationary Supplies Registrars Ink is the full name). I don't know if those are dark right out of the bottle but they should dry pretty dark. Reviews here on FPN or scans in the Ink Comparison subforum might give you an idea.
