Aurora Bottled Ink(45ml) Fountain Pen Ink

The best black ink on the market, or at least among the top 3-5 ones. It's pure black, does't fade when dried (beautiful and vibrant on my Mnemosyne notebooks), and contrarily to Platinum Carbon no risk of clogging your pen with particles; also it doesn't bleed easily on cheaper papers, so that's really an ink for everyday! Plus the 45ml bottle is beautiful in its simplicity, practical to store and and easy to carry.

This is the only black ink I will use. Rich, dark color, smooth flowing, great in every pen I’ve put it in over many years. Totally excellent.

My go to black ink. My only black ink. No shades of any other colors. Rich, dark, good depth. Works on all of my fountain pens. Writes well on all of my papers. Been using it for years. Excellent black ink, Period.

I've been using Aurora black ink for years. It does not ghost, bleed through, or cause feathering, the price seems fair, and it's a decent saturation - it's not a faded, watered-down black. The main thing it has going against it is that it's not archival/water resistant/water proof; this ink WILL run and wipe out if water gets on it. You may not want to sign important documents with it, but use it mostly for notes and everyday writing.

What is there to say about Aurora ink? They only make three colors; blue, black, and blue-black and all of them are great inks.

Any attorney should use Aurora blue ink in a fountain pen. Uniquely -- and I've used other inks, from Parker to Waterman to Scheaffer to Pelikan -- Aurora Blue ink is clearly blue on the original signaturepage (and the scanned-in-color page), but xeroxes as black. This makes it suitable both for situations in which you have to demonstrate that the signature is original (this stands out, with a blue signature) and for situations where you are photocopying or faxing (in which there is no risk of the signature appearing faded and hard-to-read on the copy).

One of my favorite

Really wonderful ink in all ways. Black is dark and wet. Bought it for its ability to flow in a dry nib pen and it is working well. The black of this colour is one of the darker ones available and I am very happy with this purchase.

wonderful black ink! consistent and high quality, at the best price from pen chalet!

Aurora Black is well known as a wet ink I bought this to use in a couple of dry writing pens. It has worked very well and I am now able to use these pens. It's a very dark black and quite well behaved in my pens. I am very pleased with this famous ink.
