De Atramentis Christmas Black 2012 is (perhaps obviously) a discontinued fountain pen ink. I used just a bit of the sample I have – it wrote well, but the color is more of a gray.

INK SWAB 222: Sailor Kiwa-Guro Nano Black
INK SWAB 210: Caran D’Ache Cosmic Black
Seems like I have a huge number of black ink samples that I’ve not tried. I find it difficult to get too excited about black inks.
Do you have a favorite black?
INK SWAB 202: Aurora Black
Aurora Black is definitely black. One day, I’ll need to pull all of my black swabs and do a bit of a comparison.
Do you have a favorite? Mine has been Noodler’s Black. I’m definitely open to learning about others that write really well in nearly all pens.

INK SWAB: 137/365 – Scribal Workshop Kraken
Scribal Workshop Kraken is a super-duper black ink. I’ve not used it and the ink has been discontinued. Were you a fan?
INK SWAB: 129/365 – Pelikan Edelstein Onyx
Another black ink. Did you ever tell me how many black inks you have? Full bottles, I think I have, maybe, three.
INK SWAB: 104/365 – Pilot Namiki Black
Pilot Namiki Black – a good solid black. I’ve not written with it (at least not that I remember). Have you?
INK SWAB: 102/365 – Noodler’s Black
Noodler’s Black is a good strong black that behaves well in most every pen. In fact, Noodler’s Black is my standard black ink.
INK SWAB: 96/365 – De Atramentis Black Roses
More of a dark gray than black, De Atramentis Black Roses will never be my favorite – if only because of the scent. It kinda makes me shiver just thinking about it again.
