Scribe Onyx is a very dark black ink with a wet flow characteristic and subtle sheen that becomes visible on certain papers. Developed by the same chemist who created Parker Penman inks from the 1990s, it offers excellent performance in fountain pens with controlled behavior on finer nibs, though it can be quite saturated on broader nibs.
