      In the 80's I purchased a large glass bottle of FW brand waterproof ink. This is the original formula that was ammonia based. Unfortunately i am nearly put of ink and have not found a suitable replacement.

      I am looking for a real black(not dark grey) waterproof ink for a dipping pen (various nibs - I also bought those in bulk and have about 2 years worth left - then I am in trouble again!)

          I use Platinum's Carbon Black ink--waterproof. I use it with a brush, not nibs.

          May be hard to compete with Ink as old as me though 🙂

            They have 8 ink comparisons at the bottom of the post. pl-carbon-black-s-2.jpg

            Hard to truly judge by a random photo, looks like the cards are bowed, and picking up some light.

              Personally I have always loved Yasutomo Black Sumi Ink. It's very black and I've used it with both brush and nib and it's wonderful! Screen Shot 2021-04-09 at 4.55.00 PM.png
