A Smug Dill

As much as I want to love Sailor kiwaguro pigment ink, I don't think it is blacker than either Parker Penman ebony writing ink or Rubinato Nero Inchiostro. After dunking the sheet of paper in a bowl of water and soaking it for an hour is a different matter, of course. The Sailor ink will run, but retains the most colour of the three after the bath; the hazard there is really whether the black that has run off the page into the water manages to get onto the page again and cause the writing to become illegible amidst a very dark smudge. Of the other two, the Rubinato holds on to its blackness a little better than the Parker.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.
