Ink that comes with Pilot Capless/Vanishing Point

[bartraigures]

Hi All,

 

I recently bought a Pilot Capless (vanishing point).

The cartridge of ink that came with it is an incredibly deep black.  Very rich and pleasant to use.

 

Does anyone know if this is the same ink available bottled?  And if so, which one?

 

Many Thanks

It's very likely Pilot/Namiki Black.  And yes, it is available in bottles.

I have been told, though, that the ink cartridges which come with Pilot Parallels is a slightly different formulation (apparently those are designed to mix if you're playing around with calligraphy), but I've never used one of them.

Thanks!  I will try a bottle of the Namiki black
