sakayume Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm trying to finish up a cartridge of Sailor Jentle Black at the moment so I can refill it with one of my usual colours. I don't care much for black, but the ink is very pleasant to use, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it had some water resistance. I was once a bottle of ink, Inky Dinky Thinky Inky, Blacky Minky Bottle of Ink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evyxmsj Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 How on Earth did you get Noodler's El Lawrence to appear so black? Mine is basically yellow-green. I was hoping for the blackish colour unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migo984 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 OOO Interesting.In this post I compare swabs with Waterman Intense Black. You can see the wonderful copper sheen even better in this photo..... https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/272272-sailors-full-ink-lines-including-shop-exclusives-compiled-in-a-post/?p=3515149 Verba volant, scripta manent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for the blackish colour unfortunately. It's a saturated Q-tip swab with writing done with a dipped Noodler's B nib. In an italic it is much more brown-yellow. Just add a few drops of black if you want it darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add a few drops of black if you want it darker. Well I feel silly now! I decided to give El Lawrence another go, and this time shook the bottle a lot---more than I have for any other colour. Annoying foam aside, I actually got the darker colour I wanted! You can see below how the two swabs differ (note: cheap & absorbent paper). http://i64.tinypic.com/qpoya0.jpg (Edit: enlarged the photo a bit to make it easier) Edited February 17, 2016 by evyxmsj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Kenshin Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm not particularly a black ink aficionado. Ok, I'm familiar with Lamy Black in carts. It's black. It works in my red Lamy Safari with a Fine nib. As I say, it's black. So, too, with Platinum black carts and the Preppy .03 and .02. They write black. I recall buying my first bottle of used (beg pardon, 'previously owned') Montblanc ink on fleabay. Yay! I thought; I'm significant now! I own an ink bottle shaped like a shoe! It was black. It wrote black. And so on and so forth, until I had acquired a couple more bottles of black ink, all of which wrote...black. But then something interesting happened. Seeing a review of PR Velvet Black, and being impressed with the brilliant corona produced by dropping it on a paper towel, I did my own paper towel chroma with four bottled blacks, and the results were not what I expected. The Levenger Raven Black was...black. The others were a surprise, and far more colorful. Now I wonder...is the Montblanc even a black? It sure 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! My other pen is a Montblanc and... My other blog is a tumblr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a cotton swab in an emergency! But usually, I place a drop of ink on a dry paper towel via plastic pipette, then drop on clean water with another pipette. Let dry, then scan.
