Aurora Black

[johnr55]

Aurora black has been my black ink for many years now. Completely untemperamental in all brands of pens that I own, very black, and lasts a long time. Wish the bottle was designed more for filling and less for effect. I write on cheap legal pads constantly and I get no feathering and no bleed through.

I had a bottle of Aurora Black but then I started using Herbin Perle Noire and Sailor Kiwaguro Black because I wanted something more waterproof. I did however gift it to my sister for use in her new Pilot Capless knowing that it would flow well and tempt her into using bottled ink. I don't think she has tried it yet but I'm confident she'll like it. (Other than that all she has is some Pilot Blue cartridges.)

Uh...not sure what this means...is it an American thing? (I live in UK)

Does that mean it doesn't have any idea of what's going on? :roflmho:

Yup, it would be interesting an extended explanation ( if any).

Reagan used to say that when reporters asked him questions he didn't want to answer.. I'm not sure what it means in this context, though...

 

Anyway, back on topic; I just discovered this ink, and it's great! I didn't think that there was that much of a difference in black between my usual Pelikan and another black ink, but this one really is a lot darker. Plus, it flows better. I haven't tried it on my pens that already flow well, so I don't know if it overflows or not, but I really like it so far. Only problem is that it costs twice as much per mL than Pelikan black...
