Sailor Fountain Pen Jentle Ink - 50 ml Bottle - Blue Black

This is my new signature ink. And I mean for all my writing, not just signing checks!

Sailor Jentle Blue-Black is a conservative, serious, masculine color, without being pretentious. I love how quickly it dries (rivals Noodler's Bernanke Black). Provides very nice shading and variation while remaining controlled and precise. What I like best is that it took care of the little bit of "skipping" I had on my Lamy 2000 (medium). Writes like a champ now. This is the only ink I will be buy/use for a while. Its the most true "blue-black" I've seen. It's not blue, not navy. It's really blue BLACK. A great alternative to washed out blacks or harsh "printer tone" true blacks.

Pick up a bottle, you'll love this ink. And the filling cone inside the inkwell-like bottle is genius. Thanks Jet Pens.. I'll be stocking up on this stuff!

A blue black that leans toward black. It has the character of dark denim to my eye. It has great legibility and serves as my alternative to black ink, which I don't care for.

A great ink overall, but shows some hesitancy in dry writers.

Bought another bottle. It's that good and smooth.

This is the best black ink I've ever used. Beats Mont Blanc, Noodler's, Parker, Lamy.
Extremely black. Smooth. Doesn't bleed. Doesn't clog. Works well with all papers and pens I've tried.
This ink makes me curious about the science of how ink is designed. Whatever they did, they designed one great ink.

An outstanding ink. Works perfectly in all of my pens, from a broad-nibbed Montblanc Diplomat to an extra-fine-nibbed Pilot. Dries quickly, and is permanent and truly water-resistant on good paper. Not quite as intense a black as Herbin's Perle, or Aurora; but is deep enough, in a midnight charcoal sort of way. This ink is far more refined and less prone to smearing than Noodler's so-called "bulletproof" black, which looks harsh and vulgar by comparison. The only thing wrong with Sailor Nano Ultra Black is that it is so bloody expensive. Still, that won't prevent me from buying it again, as it is by far the best permanent black ink I have ever used.
