First of all, one of the colors that you may never think about trying out is the Diamine Amaranth Ink. This beautiful shade of pink is amazing. Almost above all, the color that you get on paper depends on the pen that you’re using. If you prefer writing with a wet pen, you’ll get a darker reddish-purple. In contrast, if you use the Diamine Amaranth Ink with a dry pen, you will get an amazing opaque dusty rose. As a result, you will get a different pink shade for every occasion.

While the shading is very low when you are using the Aurora Blue ink, you will still be able to notice some very slight differences among your letters. Nevertheless, they’re not enough to distract you.

There are 2 important factors to consider when you are looking for the best blue ink: the bleeding and the feathering.

Aurora Black Ink Review

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.

And here’s a writing sample with 3 different nibs:
