Decided to take the plunge and finally do an ink review! I linked to two photos, one as a scan and one as a photo. The scan shows that the ink is much darker than it actually is. If you look carefully, BBM has a very very slight greyish tinge to it that J. Herbin Perle Noire does not. Unfortunately, I do not know how to colour-correct scans at this time. So, I hope that the scan and the photo will be more helpful together. That being said, BBM is very similar to Heart of Darkness, nearly identical to my eyes. Perle Noire and Bulletproof Black are more of a blacker black than either BBM and HOD. If you're looking for a very black black that is bulletproof, I'd stick with the standard Bulletproof Black, but I like my blacks with a tinge of grey, so I like the BBM myself.

 

One thing that I forgot to add in the review is that Bad Black Moccasin is in the bulletproof category.

 

ETA: The ink comparisons were done with a glass dip pen.

How do you avoid getting water or other liquids on your writing if you have some much trouble getting ink on yourself?

Excellent review, I'll never be able to write like that though...

 

Have enjoyed using this as my exclusive black ink for 3 months, a little water thrown in and it works on any paper I have handy.

Another well done review, thank you.

Can you tell me about the Double A paper you used? We seem to have a report here in the forums that there is a bleed-through issue with it. Your review said no bleed through. What was your take on the paper you used?

Take care,

Living in Louisiana I don't think I could ever bring myself to use an ink named "Bad Black Moccasin". We have enough of those things crawling around already! Enjoyed the review, though.

There was absolutely no bleed-through at all with this paper and this review. I was going to scan the back of the paper, but I realized it would be a pointless scan.

 

The Double A paper that I got was from Office Max. I got a box of 5 reams on sale a few months ago. I'll try to take a photo of the box tonight. I really like this paper. It's very smooth without being too heavy or too thick. I haven't used it extensively yet, so I can't really comment on how often bleed-through occurs with various inks at the moment. However, another review that I did with Noodler's St. Patty's Eire highlighting ink exhibited a lot of bleed-through. But, I used the felt-tipped highlighting pen that came with the bottle.

I love your organized approach. Still not sure about the ink though.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
