[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 538751, member: 1365"] Found out the skinny on Borealis Black. A different brand, but much touted and apparently beloved is Aurora Black. It is often arguably regarded as the blackest ink out there...and is also known for being super wet. Wet meaning it flows like crazy, even in stubborn dry pens. Back to the Borealis. It is reportedly Nathan Tardiff’s (he is like MR. Noodlers) version of Aurora Black. Get it? Aurora? Borealis? OK. It is also known as being VERY wet. It is pretty bulletproof...at least recoverable after it drys and bonds with the cellulose in the paper. Bonding can actually take about 3 days. Don’t expect to sign your name, let it dry, then be immediately waterproof. The Aurora Black isn’t nearly as bulletproof as this. It I also takes a LONG time to dry...especially on non absorbent papers like Tomoe River. It has also been shown to feather like crazy. Even on very good papers...like Clairfontaine and Fabriano. Less on Tomoe River. There you have it. I don’t need this ink. I have the Aurora and like it. I have a number of other black inks...don’t need this or its related issues. [/QUOTE]
