Wow....I think you're selling me PR Velvet Black! Look at that sheen! And the chroma....I'm a sucker for a multi-hued chroma....hubba hubba.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I'm glad you like this ink, but, aren't all black inks look like this in chromatography? (I don't have other black to compare and I'm bad at science, so...)

Yes, based on this review I bought it at the pen show.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Gee...I dunno! I have a few blacks, Quink, Waterman, JHerbin, Chesterfield, but never chroma'd any. Now I guess I will have to.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!

Now this was interesting. I did a paper towel chroma with four of my bottled blacks, and the results were not what I expected. The Levenger Raven Black was...black. And that's all!

 

The others, far more colorful. Is the Montblanc even a black? It writes like one. Waterman and Quink seemed very close in color components, but in daylight, and not scannage, Quink's corona was slightly more intense orange. Still, I don't think any of them were as much of a rainbow as the PR Velvet!

For some bizarre reason, I love an ink with a complex chroma. Even if it just writes black, it's like I'm writing with a Secret Formula.

Yes...yes, YES!!!

I always love complex colors, but didn't know why until I read your comment... :lol:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
