== Inquiry about the blackest black ink options ==

* He says, I'm looking for the blackest black ink. I know when one cannot get Vantablack as fountain pen ink, but what is the closest I can get?
* Um, it's, uh, platinum Chokuro, platinum Chokuro. I have a link. Uh, we'll put a link in the show notes to my review. It is. It's definitely the blackest black ink. Um, it's pigmented ink. It's a strong ink. It performed very well in my pen testing. Like it didn't, you know, negatively affect the pen that much.
* Um, man, that images. Wow. Yeah. Like so the nano black essentially just looks gray. Right. So platinum carbon black was one that people would say is like, Oh yeah. Platinum carbon black. And you put it next to this. It's like, no, no, no, not really. If you want a non pigmented or non permanent type ink, Aurora black is usually just kind of like the best black writing. Ink. But if you want, um, you just have to pay a little bit of attention to using that pen. Like if you put Shokuro in it or even like carbon black or nano black, like if you don't use that pen for a couple of weeks, you need to clean it. Right. Like it's just going to like crust up and be harder to clean. Like, I don't think it's necessarily going to damage your, your pen. And, um, it's, it's, it's a, it's a really good, it's really expensive. It's like $60 a bottle. But like, if you're looking for the blackest black ink and that you can actually use in a fountain pen and, and get some joy from it, uh, platinum Shokuro is a very, very good.
