From a newbie - I moved up from a few cheap fountain pens to a
Waterman Phileas with a medium nib, which is terrific. I used one
cartridge, and then used the converter. I filled it with black Quink I
bought from Staples and am very satisfied with the results. While I'm
not looking to change inks, I was wondering if there are thoughts on
other good black inks for this pen, i.e., is Waterman ink better and
worth a separate purchase? How about other brands? Thanks

depends largely on what you want from your ink. I find WM ink rather washed
out. Aurora Black is the most dense FP black ink I've seen other than
Levenger Raven. I used only Raven for a while but it tended to clog my
pens. Aurora Black is a great black ink. Excellent flow, dense, and
smoooooth.

Lamy black is more of a grey. at least the carts I had were - don't use it
anymore so...
