Platinum Carbon Black - Sample Size

I recently ordered a handful of ink samples (Platinum Carbon, Noodler X-Feather, Sailor Kiwaguro and others) as I was having feathering trouble with a cotton based paper I was writing on. I wanted to test out each ink to see how it did. X-Feather was a bit better than the standard Pilot black ink I had in cartridge form, but still feathered badly in places. Sailor Kiwaguro did not feather at all in my tests, but as reviews on that product note, it isn't a real dark black at all (dries a washed-out black IMO). Hands down the winner of the test was Platinum Carbon Black: no feathering, but with a deep dark black I was looking for. It looks and dries wonderfully on the rather temperamental paper I am using. Highly recommend if you're looking for an ink that won't feather yet has a deep, dark black coloring.
