Toucan Black

 Toucan's Black is the most saturated of the inks in this line, and that's probably a good thing. These are, firstly, mixing inks and I imagine that a set like this needs a good solid black to add into the rest of the colors. This is a medium black, but I can't imagine that you're going to get any results from adding the other colors to this one. They're all a lot less saturated. You might get some interesting results from adding this to the other colors, though.

Black (not a great name, really) has excellent behavior, and it flows well. It's not the darkest black, but it's certainly a good one.

Ink Comparisons

Compared to the Boston Brahmin, Toucan's Black is a light-black. That's a really dark black, though (at least as black as Aurora), and you're not going to notice (much) that Toucan's is lighter unless they're side-by-side.

This ink is a good value, and it has really good features. It's a fine black ink, and it flows well. You can (only) find bags and samples over at Anderson Pens. A 60ml bag goes for $10.
