I own a rainbow of beautiful colors, mostly from Diamine, but what I really miss a a truly black ink for formal days. I have a big bottle of Parker Quink Black, but I almost never use it as it’s actually a middle-to-dark-gray ink even with my flowiest pens.
So what are your favorite, deeply saturated black inks?
Bonus points if it’s (very) affordable and easily available in Europe (so no noodlers).
Arora black. Darkest of dark
Here’s a review from some searching. No affiliation with the link at all.

Pilot Black isn’t easy to get but is very plain and black enough for me, very cheap in a 350ml bottle.
J. Herbin Perle Noire is more saturated and cheap in 100 ml/500 ml bottles (the latter being harder to find but old inventory sells for cheap).
