My 10 Favorite Blue Black Inks

We’ve been slowly tackling my top ten inks in each color category and today it’s time to have a go at blue black inks! You can find my top ten by color posts in the favorites tab at the top of the blog. So let’s take a look!

Sailor Sei-boku has a lot of depth to the color, and has high water resistance.

Bungubox 4B is an interesting color, dries fast, and has some nice sheen.

Robert Oster Thunderstorm-I love this ink. I love the color. The shading is great and has an average dry time.

Rohrer and Klingner Verdigris leans toward teal on some papers, but is a nice color and affordable too!

Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Kai is one of my absolute favorite blue black inks. I love the color, I love the smooth flow, and I love the quick dry time.

Sailor Souboku is an amazing ink. I love the smooth flow and high water resistance.

Nagasawa Kobe 07 Kaikyou Blue is a nice dark color and has some shading, sheen and a nice wet flow

Cross Blue Black is a classic in the fountain pen community. It’s a great everyday office appropriate blue black ink.

Nagasawa Kobe 51 Kanocho Midnight-I love this ink. It’s so pretty and I love the wet flow and green and silver sheen.

Diamine 1864 Blue Black is a good classic blue black. I love the smooth flow. I use it primarily on Tomoe River paper since it’s not great on cheaper paper.
