Sailor Black

[Dudley]

My first review and it's black ink. Nothing amazing to look at...since it's black. But i've included a sexy picture of the bottle. That counts for something right? :roflmho:

Hey, great review. Looks like a great ink.

 

Where did you get it from? Sailor ink doesn't appear to be very common (at least I haven't seen much of it).

 

Also, would you mind doing a water test with some text instead of a cute sheep? Hehe, I thought it might illustrate better how much damage water will do to text (a before & after shot would be cool too).

 

I'm sure everyone demands more photos of different angles of that ink bottle too!

More Pictures later, as you suggested. The ink is pretty expensive, but luckily i got a good deal from Jim Sanders (i think that's his name). you can email him to check if he has some more in stock at poohcornerpens [at] aol [dot] com.

Where did you get it from?

I bought a bottle of the Sailor Blue Black last week at Avalon. I imagine they have Black, too.

Very nice review - thanks.

Thanks for the review. I use Sailor black in my Penatia and I think it's a wonderful ink with a wonderful bottle.

Dudley, with that review of a Sailor ink, you have joined the ranks of the ultra-cool on "Inky Thoughts" (Not even I am on that list yet ).

Wow already?? no way, im just a noob.

I love the Sailor ink bottle! So classy and modern at the same time

 

My Sailor black shows a tiny bit of greyness to it though Maybe my pen I use it on is a bit dry?

[Dudley]

Okay water tests, I would post some pictures of the bottle but i lent it out to a freind. I too notice that there is some greyness to the edges of the letters, but its not that much, but certainly i tried it with a drier nib and it was a bit greyer.

And for those who's wondering about the blueish green streaks.,.. its because i was filling another pen with Caran d'Ache Turquiose green, and this happened....

Thanks, Dudley!

Hi,

 

In my book, Sailor black wins for smooth, good, blackness.

 

Nice ink, not to mention that I don't ordinarily use black ink.
