yes

its kinda slightly more grey then black though honestly

wait i use Noodler's Black Waterproof Fountain Pen Ink

ah, I am thinking of getting another black to draw with that is lightfast, I don't know if I want to do noodler's black or another one of their blacks

not sure if thats diffrent

I think that is the black, it's their 'bulletproof' ink

its weird because when i draw with my noodler's pen it comes out pretty black

but when i draw with my namiki its kinda light greyish

but still pretty dark

I used to have a bottle, but I don't know if it was old, or it wasn't closed properly because the ink was odd.

hmm, weird

maybe because it's putting down a finer line?

yeah that could be

the nib is medium on the namiki

i also use higgins eternal black which is pretty good

Or you have some water in the pen after cleaning it?

and cheap

no water, i've never had to clean it so far

weird

they both dry pretty fast

as long as you dont soak the page

yeah, I've been doing small drawings on a watercolor block with ink and washes, sometimes they get soaked

Hudson Valley Sketches: Lightfastness Test Results o...

its so hard to tell with those samples

yeah

i would get the noodler's black if you want to paint over it

the higgins one smears like amotha

yeah, that is what i'm thinking
