Fountain Pens

I figure we need something to get the conversation going.

We hear a lot about popular inks like Iroshizuku Kon-Peki, Noodler's Black, and Waterman Serenity Blue all the time. Let's start talking some inks that sadly don't get as much attention as they actually deserve.

What's your favourite underrated ink?

I think workhorse type inks are some of my favourite underrated inks. Aurora Black doesn't get as much love as it actually deserves. It's a great workhorse ink. Nothing really fancy, but it just works. I like Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue way more than I thought I would. It's very dry and does a great job of controlling some of the firehose pens in my collection.
