Recommend A Black Cartridge?

Recommended Posts

I am gifting a pen to a beginner and would like to provide her with some black cartridges, standard international. Can anyone recommend a black cartridge ink that is very black and wet? The pen is a bit dry and the nib is fine. Gracias.

Waterman Black or Herbin Perle Noire for low maintenance for a beginner.

I like Perle Noir, but I've never used it from a cartridge.

Should be the same. I have a 100ml bottle of Lie de The and also a pack of Lie de The cartridges that I travel with (popping in cartridges when I land, to avoid a pen leaking in flight). No noticeable difference between them.

My first thought was Perle Noir but Levenger's Raven Black comes in cartridges, too.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Montblanc Permanent Black...

 

I use this ink cartridge with my Kaweco Sports as a pocket EDC pen/ink combo and have found it is wet and quite smooth when used with the rather dry writing Kaweco fine nibs and it performs well on whatever cheap paper I might be stuck with at the time. YMMV

As a note for any "permanent" inks, the pens used with them should be flushed thoroughly more frequently.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
