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.
