Ink 350ml INK350B (japan import)

I like this better than Pelikan 4001 Black, except for the price. Looks darker to my eyes and seems to flow better on cheaper paper. I use Pelikan 4001 to mess around and save this for finished drawing pieces.

Unfortunately I only had 1 leaf of a Rhodia pad left, so I wasn't able to test the ink on a whole lot of high quality paper, but as to be expected with the Rhodia paper it looks dark, a charcoal dark not really black black. And on cheap dollar tree and walmarts pen and gear paper it looks even lighter. Feathering isn't a problem on Rhodia with either a 2.4mm or extra fine nib; and bleedthrough is also not a problem on Rhodia.Not quite as lucky for the cheap papers; feathering isn't too horrendous on them, but will be a problem for calligraphy nibs and those who can't write quickly enough. Bleedthrough is also a problem on the cheap papers, you definitely won't be using both sides of the paper. The ink is quite water resistant on Rhodia paper still being very legible, and pretty much waterproof on the absorbent cheap papers with almost no ink running off, all run under hot water for 30 seconds.If you have good quality paper it's not a bad deal, and for practicing with, and maybe the bottle I got just wasn't up to snuff, but if you want a true black, relatively cheap, waterproof ink in large a quantity, that'll also work on cheap paper, I'd recommend Noodler's Heart of Darkness. Even just Noodler's Bulletproof Black. Platinum Carbon Black is also a fantastic ink, though a little more pricey.

Pilot Black ink (350 ml size) is an excellent value ink that writes in a beautiful, aesthetic shade of black. I usually use Noodler's Black, which has its own qualities such as being waterproof, permanent ink etc. Yet, it is a different shade of Black, a little more on the brown side, perhaps like a night permeated with the golden glow of the moon. This black is the actual black, like charcoal black, like the night tinged with starlight -- and no moon. In my opinion, this black ink is a subtle reflection of a culture. You can see this elegance in Japanese paintings. You can try it on TomoeRiver paper and see what I mean.The value is great with this ink. This is the cheapest fountain pen ink on the web by far. I initially bought it for fountain pen calligraphy using a modified Pilot Parallel pen, which gulps ink bottles dry. This will hold it for a while. Also, I expected a mediocre ink, considering the price. (For price comparison, check out ANY fountain pen ink except Noodler's). What I received is an excellent ink, which is quite elegant in writing, smooth and consistent in flow (in many of my pens including brush and calligraphy pens), and best fit for the most expensive, elegant pens that I have.The package arrived quickly-- one day shipping. The cap is sealed, so no leaking. The package contained enough cushion for accident absorption.In sum, this ink is no brainer, really. If you are looking for a black ink, give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

Your standard wonderful Pilot / Namiki Black Ink in a ginormous container at an AWESOME price!The seller was eXcellent and the ink is exactly what you get in Pilot or Namiki black cartridges. It flows smooth and wet in all my fountain pens, is easy to clean out and works well in my brush pens too. The ink is not the blackest black but depending on how it's put down ranges from deep black to dark charcoal gray which gives it a nice little bit of character in different pens.I would recommend trying this ink out in cartridge form before purchasing this biggee sized bottle BUT it's just such a well behaved classic ink you really cannot go wrong.That said keep in mind this is a bulk refill size and not something you dip your pen into so be sure to have an appropriate container like an old ink bottle that you can refill and use.I've attached some pictures to give everyone an idea of what you are getting. The bottle is large and has a cap similar to what many asian sauces come in, there's a plastic pull tab which when removed creates a slit opening that makes pouring very easy. The cap closes firmly but since I doubt I will be going through this ink quickly I wrapped the cap with teflon tape to create a better seal.I don't know what the rules are on reviews but I included some other common ink bottles for size comparison and I turned the names away or blurred them but as you can see this is a lot of ink.Great ink and an amazing value, highly recommended!!!

It is difficult to find bottles of fountain pen ink at even big-box office supply stores. For many of us, this big 350-ml bottle is a lifetime supply at a very competitive price. I typically use Parker Quink, and I find virtually no difference between that and the Pilot ink. I can't tell that one is more black than the other or that one bleeds more than the other The picture was made on 24-lb white copy paper, a challenging medium.Item is as desscribed, and Amazon delivery was, as always, timely.

Not water proof but can tell what was written even after page gets wet because it does not wash out.Completely happy with purchaseSeller packaged it well so item arrived with out damage

Pilot Blue Black (and now Pilot Black) are my to-go inks when a pen has flow issues.It's a very well behaved, lubricated ink and the price/volume ratio is hard to beat.You *will* need to find some empty ink bottles of your own however, because it's not possible to fill directly from this container. Goulet Pens has Diamine bottles for under a dollar (or fancy looking Iroshizuku and Faber Castell bottles for about $6 or so).EDIT:It's not marketed as a document ink per se, but it's very water resistant. I just put a sheet under warm running water for a good 30 seconds, and after the top layer got washed away, the writing still remained fully crisp and legible.I'm thinking of making this one my main ink at the office, especially after an incident involving MontBlanc Black, a bottle of Topo Chico and a bunch of lost meeting notes :/

Really good ink. I bought it when it was offered on a discount otherwise the price too high.

It was my first choice for fountain pen ink till I found Noodler’s Black.

Good price

容量は素晴らしいが、使いきれないかも？万年筆に注入する時、他の容器に入れ替える必要がある。
