Levenger Raven Black Ink Review

[TheNobleSavage]

Levenger Raven Black is a nice black ink to use with some really nice lubercation properties. The big drawback is that it tends to feather when using less than optimal paper and a broad juicy nib. Still a nice solid black ink that I like to use from time to time!!

Yet another great review. I noticed this one got 3/5 while the Aurora got 5/5. Could you perhaps list the different pros and cons of Aurora, Levenger, and Noodlers?

[TheNobleSavage]

This ink tends to feather more than most other inks I have used. Thats why!! Everything else is very nice in regards to the ink. I have not had an issue with Aurora or Noodlers black feathering like Levenger Raven Black.

Thanks once more, Aaron, also for the compliment.

 

There is one big difference, though: you do create a lot of very nice reviews, I only do one occasionally...

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

Warm regards, Wim

This ink has a wonderful color, and I agree about its dependency on "good" paper. I meant it about the drink.

Thanks to Sailor Kenshin for giving me the opportunity to try this ink .

I've been using this in my Levenger TrueWriter and I have to say it looks great on the page and is a real true black, but does feather on most paper I use. Also, this ink loves to nib creep. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yeah, it creeps really bad. It also seems like a "dirty" ink, for lack of a better descriptor. It looks really good on the page, but I'm nor going to be using it anymore. Too bad.

I know that this is a very old thread, but if anyone is still monitoring this thread, can you tell me about how waterproof this ink is? Levenger customer service tells me that all of their inks are waterproof, but I think I've read that Raven Black is legible after being exposed to water and the website calls Raven Black (and none of the other colors) "semi-permanent."

 

I would love it if some of you could weigh in on this.

 

Thanks!
