Without a doubt the best black fountain pen ink in the world. A very deep black, with great flow, good lubrication, limited feathering and bleed-through on most papers, nice dry-time and very safe in all pens. I just wish that Jet Pens would stock the cheaper 100ml plastic bottles!

I am using this ink in a Lamy Safari. This ink flows quickly and writes smoothly. I like it a lot. A very good black.

A great black ink! A deep black, no feathering on my Clairfontaine paper, and thats using a Kaweco double broad! It also flows very well.

I just loaded the ink into my Hi-Tec Cavalier Fountain Pen. The color comes out much darker from the pen than the swatch, but I haven't actually taken a small amount and smudged it across the paper, so I suspect that it's true to the color shown on my screen. It writes very smoothly and is fairly wet. All in all a great buy, and so much more economical and fun than cartridges!

I just received my order and I am currently dipping a preppy platinum fountain pen in the ink. I also ordered Violette Pensee. I am in love with this ink, its wonderful and writes beautiful. It's rich and color and I use it for everyday school work. I love jetpens!!!!! Keep it up, I will always be checking in on this website for new products. The best online stationary store yet.!! :)

I find Perle Noire only to be black enough when used in a free flowing pen, at least a medium nib or higher. In my fine and extra fine pens (Sailor ProColor and Pelikan M215) the lines came out faint and charcoal-like. I wish Jet Pens would stock my FAVORITE black, Aurora Black. A much truer black, thick and inky.

This is a very good ink with nice black shade. If you are looking for a pure, 100%, darkest black in the world, this may not be your ink. However, if you want a black ink for sketch with a little bit tone like I do, this is the right one. It is more watery than I thought. This ink works very well on most of the paper, however, it tends to bleed a little on smooth surface like Moleskine sketchbook which makes it look uneven.

Very nice black, not the deepest but nice classic look.

one word... PERFECT!!!!

I love it! Please Restock!

Fantastic classic black. Not as lubricious as many modern inks, which can cause problems writing with any speed. However, very dark for its "wateriness", which gives a wonderful quill-pen line from a fine italic nib.

Definitely my favorite black. Sooth with good flow and saturation.

In reading various blogs about inks I decided that I just had to try it. I had already purchased an A.S. Manhattaner's fountain pen earlier last month and was somewhat disappointed with how well the pen wrote. So, in reading about bottled inks I decided if the pen had a converter I would give it a try. Wellll, just let me say that I have now fallen in love with this pen and the way it writes now. I don't know if it was the ink or what but it writes so much more smoother and I would highly recommend this ink. I purchased it in the Perle Noir color and I very much like it cause it does have like a shiny black hue to it.

I just bought this pen and am waiting for it to come in the mail. It usually takes about 1-2 days to get to me and I've ordered many times from jetpens. I read an article saying you can refill platinum preppy fountain pens with regular bottled inks by just adding an o-ring to the threads of the barrel. I am currently in love with the j. herbin and pilot iroshizuku bottled inks and am waiting on my glass pens and the platinum preppy pens to test them out. I am definitely looking forward to receiving these pens in the mail. I only wish bottled inks were cheaper... $22.50 for a bottle of iroshizuku is really taxing my wallet. overall, great buy though!
