By nday11

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.

By michael.f.nash

This is my absolute FAVORITE ink for all my daily use fountain pens. Always goes on beautifully and wet even with a fine nib, dries quickly.

By sfisher

Ordered the ink despite it being a little more expensive than the other inks. Filled a fine nib Sailor candy fountain pen with it, and the ink has a nice expressive quality to the fine lines. It may not be as dark as Noodler's, but more water resistant for watercolor washes. Overall I would reccomend the ink.

By slk...

bought this as a random purchase, not disappointing at all! goes on smooth with my sailor Regulus fine nib. drys fast, decently waterproof, and really black! works very well on college lined school paper, no bleeding and does not show thru the page. filling system is really cool, bottle is pleasing to look at. I have been using it for about a month now and have not had any issues with cloging or nib creep.
