Diamine Eclipse is a surprisingly nice black ink. It’s a relatively wet ink which pairs well with my Japanese F nib. Diamine Eclipse isn’t a very dark black, it’s rather noticeably blue-purple on the swatch. You can see some very subtle shading on the M nib. Black inks in general are boring to use to me. This is one of the affordable option that isn’t too dry but dries quite fast.
