Darkest Black Inks Easily Available In India?

[antarmukhee]

I use black ink from Bril or Camlin and write with a fine nib. I feel that they give a lighter shade on paper than I expect, especially when soft pressure is applied.

I need more darker hue to my ink.

Are any other brands of ink available in India that have very dark black colour?

Aurora Black from Italy, quite well known for a blackest black is available in India. Inks from Pilot, Iroshi Take Sumi, Pelikan, Diamine, Sailor-Kiwaguro, Edelstein Onyx, Mont Blanc Black & MB Permanent Black too are available. J.Herbin Perele Noir, Platinum Pigmented & Taccia too are there.

I have 8/9 different blacks & grey shades. Kiwa Guro is my No.1. MBP,JHPN,ITS too are great blacks depending the fountain pen.

I had good experience with Pelikan and Diaminie Black. Actually, I was obsessed with Pelikan black and acquired too many of its 60ml bottles over the years. I will be happy to unload some of its stock if anyone is interested. Pelikan black is good for pens which writes wet or too wet.

 

I like Sailor black as well. it is smooth but not on darkest side. it is a bit grayish. I tried Aurora black,but found it feathering on low gsm papers.

Some of the Krishna ink is good as well;not sure if it is still in production.

My experience with Sheaffer Skrip Black has been quite good. Easily available on Amazon India.

Pelikan black. Like Binod I have it in 1 litre bottles.

 

In fact I found Indian quink black excellent in the 90s to mid 2000s. It was my go to ink. Havent used it in a long while.

 

Pilot black is also good but different. Aurora is superb too but the bottle is tall and silly (my opinion).

 

If you want something permanent look for camlin fount black ink. Its a carbon based ink suitable for piston and eye dropper pens. Pelikan makes something similar called fount india or something like that.

I don't know if its just me but I find platinum carbon black to be very good option a permanent ink plus its very wet writer and works on almost all papers (A4, register anything) and does not bleed or feather) only headache is cleaning. Sheaffer skrip is other black ink which I have used, it has some decent water resistance as well.

Among Camlin, Bril, Parker Quink black inks, parker quink beats the first two by a mile, but it is more  grayish than dark black.

Just saw this thread and I curious to know where you can buy these inks in this country. It seems only Lamy has an official presence. 

Is buying from Amazon reliable? 

Thanks!

I got my platinum carbon from amazon and found it relaible. Mostly its sellers you are looking for, for instance pensavenue, williampenns and makoba all sell from amazon and their own website and all are relaible when comes to such products.

 

All in all as long as seller is creditable amazon is great for such things.

 

Other method is via sellers websites in some cases and last offline stores (region limitations apply here though).
