How about Pelikan 4001 black ink?

It's a nice dark black ink. It's relatively inexpensive. They had some
problems with gunk in their inks (their green and black inks I believe)
about a year or two ago, but they've probably resolved those issues by
now. Even with the latest price increase, Pelikan inks are a good
value... why not try their black and see how you like it? ---Bernadette
