I am currently using McCaffrey Penman's Ink (black) with a Zebra G nib to address wedding invitations. I love this ink because it does so well on most papers and produces incredibly fine hairlines. However, for those times when I need a blacker ink, is there a sumi ink that performs as well? Please include any details on whether or not you dilute the sumi ink.

 

Many thanks!

Moonpalace diluted 6 parts ink, 4 parts distilled water. Written on Rhodia with a well used Esterbrook 128. I believe it was in a Michael Sull holder

The liberty of the press is indeed essential to the nature of a free state; but this consists in laying no previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter when published. Every freeman has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public; to forbid this, is to destroy the freedom of the press; but if he publishes what is improper, mischievous or illegal, he must take the consequence of his own temerity. (4 Bl. Com. 151, 152.) Blackstone's Commentaries
