Today, we took the time to deeply test and review the Aurora Black ink. Even with so many amazing colors in the market, black is still one of the favorite colors to use for many. And Aurora makes one of the best black fountain pen inks in the market.
If you are looking for a beautiful black ink that leaves that amazing opaque solid black, you have to try the Aurora Black ink.
Aurora Black Overview:
Aurora Black in Water:
The lines that it produces are not only dark as they are rich. And this is one of the reasons why so many fountain pen lovers use the Aurora Black ink every day.
One of the things that we particularly like about the Aurora Black ink is that it flows superbly well, making it a great choice for even a dry nib.
While there are some fountain pen inks that are quicker to dry, the truth is that the Aurora Black ink isn’t slow either. In terms of bleeding through, and unless you are using a glass dip pen like the Rohrer & Klingner glass dip pen, you shouldn’t notice any bleeding. The same goes for the feathering.
Aurora Black writing sample:
And here’s a writing sample with 3 different nibs:
Fountain Pens Used:
- Fine Nib – Jinhao 599 Fountain Pen Black
- Medium Nib: Jinhao 159 Fountain Pen White
- Broad Nib: Hero 91 Fountain Pen
Overall, the Aurora Black ink is one of the best black inks on the market. When you want to have an opaque black without feathering and bleeding, you have got to try out the Aurora Black ink.

Nice review. If you can please review some Caran d’Ache or Pilot.
Thank you Emma. We don’t currently carry any of those brands, but we would love to review them in the future. Stay tuned.
Hard to say between aurora black and Noodler’s Black. Which one is better? Any opinions?
I personally don’t have much experience with Noodler’s black. So I can only say I love Aurora black, but wouldn’t be fair to compare it with a ink I’m not that familiar with. 😉
I don’t use black inks much often. Honestly, they all look the same to me ☺️ But nice article.
Thank you.
I always keep 1 pen with Aurora Black. I just love it.
It’s an amazing Ink for sure 😉
Nice Review. I’ve been looking for the perfect black for awhile. This might be it!
Thank you John. Glad to help.
Love the ink, and the dog too 😀
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you for such an in depth review. If you can please review Montblanc Toffee Brown.
Thank you for your kind words. I would love to review Montblanc Toffee Brown, but we don’t carry it yet. But stay tuned, we plan to keep add more inks and reviews in the near future.
