Customer Reviews
Excellent water-proof ink! I primarily use it in my 180gsm sketchbook with watercolors & gouache. I often wait a few hours after painting so it's most effective to counter the amount of water I subject it to. Holds up well!
My vibe is this is somehow darker than sailors basic black. I get excellent dark lines. Very striking and legible. Makes me question my perception of black. Highly recommend
I bought two black inks together, this and the Platinum Carbon ink. The Sailor Kiwaguro ink is perfectly black, while the Platinum ink is more of a very dark gray. The Sailor is a delight to write with, while the Platinum I probably will not use.
This black has been my standard black since I first tried it over a year ago. It stays black over time. It has a lovely flow. You can get away with using it on paper not meant for fountain pens, like bank checks and copy paper.
This is an awesome ink. I put in my black Mountblanc pen and it work great. Very well behaved and does not bleed even with cheep paper. It is a pleasure to use. Extremely water proof, the paper will disintegrate before the ink goes away. It can be smudged, more like than Platinum's Carbon ink. But I found the ink for my MB pen. Looking for a useful permanent black that you can use professionally this is it. s
