Say It Loud I Am Black And I Am Proud!

[Morbus Curiositas]

Say it loud! I am (Kaweco) Black and I am Proud

 

Having a Black Soul usually has a negative connotation...

But Black Soul can be awesome

Funnily the man who sung this song is not black.... He is brown..... James Brown!!!!.

 

And then there is Jack Black.... who is white.... Confusing or what

 

Let me clear you up

 

Sometimes...

I see a sheet and I want to Paint it Black....

No colours anymore I want them to turn black...

 

(Little hint here Mick mix them all and you get black)

 

Finding a truly black is is not easy today... There is IG but that's not always... "igeal"

 

I found a true black ink

 

... Allow me to introduce myself I am an ink of wealth and taste.

... I've been around long long years.

... since the Fountain Pens's golden days....

 

My name is Kaweco Blacko

 

My heart is dark, my soul is black

 

I say it loud.... I am Black and I am proud

This Ink behaves very well. It is medium dry.... It took a bit of drying time though.... But that can be due to the BB nib

Funnily it is just a tiny bit less black in the Italic 2,3 nib

 

It is as black as money on a Swiss bank account with the BB nib...

 

BB how could I forget the great BB King.... Sorry too many great Blacks (sorry not meant prejorative here) to mention here

I don't see no feathering here.... Not even the fat 2,3 nib feathers

I don't see shading either.... But hey.... it's black

Showthrough = NOTHROUGH!!!

Forget that tiny black spot... I ran over the paper 4 times wiht the 2,3 nib... even plastic bleeds than.

To conclude

 

I was not a fan of black inks... But this Kaweco ink behaves so well..... I am a fan now....

 

Well they say.... Once you go black, you never go back...

 

Can't underwrite that. I am an Ink-polygamist (and an Inkoholic)...

 

I love the browns the greens and the blues too

What I can say....

 

I will never turn my back on Kaweco Black

 

(Kaweco) Black is beautiful

 

Regards

I like Barry white... will "throw him in" next time.... If you help me carry him.... He is not only black but quite heavy too

 

 

Er and I suggest you are not truly blue Jay

[amberleadavis]

Thank you for the wonderful review!

[brewerjeff]

I had to chime in: Redd Foxx, Al Green, and His Purpleness Prince, I'd also count Vida Blue, and Bukka White

[ethernautrix]

Not a fan of black inks - yet (?), but I like the way you have put your package together.

Thank you.

Well what do think of sending you a cartridge?

[Morbus Curiositas]

Wouldn't it be nice if some one makes a black ink named after famous person's like Martin Luther King or

Ella Fitzgerald

[Diderot]

Well what do think of sending you a cartridge?

 

I have just seen your gracious offer.

I am not sure that I'm ready for black just yet as I'm trying to sift through some blues.

However, I shall bear your offer in mind.

Thank you very much.

 

Lets also add a couple of drummers to your list of luminaries :

Art Blakey & Papa Jo Jones.
