The 5 Best blacklight Inks (2023 reviews)

These Iroshizuku inks put down a nice color saturated line of ink. It flows beautifully and the color (black) is just as coal, just magnificent. It does not really bleed through unless you use it excessively on one area. The stand out features of this ink are the shading, flow and the COLOR is just magical. The ink writes very well.

The bottle is beautiful and the ink flows well in a variety of pens and nibs. It will write without feathering even on regular college ruled paper. These are really black and significantly cheaper than Iroshizuku.

Why We Like This:

Incredible black ink, very wet, beautiful presentation
Gorgeous color and flows wonderfully in nibs from extra fine to broad
Lot of satisfied buyers

Best For drawing: Waterman blacklight Ink

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another ink that manages to win our hearts. It's the waterman blacklight ink and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient ink you can buy. The ritual of filling ink from a bottle enhances the noble experience of using classic fountain pens. The Waterman Ink is water soluble and should wash easily from the skin. It is a beautiful and somewhat complex deep blue color that lives up to its name. The glass bottle is classic and can be tipped for filling when it’s lower on ink. The ink works just fine and is a nice royal blue color.

The Waterman Ink is black enough, and flows quite well. It is easy to clean out of pens and converters even if left to dry. There's a screw-off lid that is not difficult to open or close. The ink is black enough, and flows quite well.

Doesn't clog up nibs with dried ink
Flows nice and works well with the converter and pen
Good investment for long term
