I havent tried it yet,.. but I have heard from more then one person that the new "Double Sumi" from Kuro Sumi is really f@#king dark.

i use sumi ink and the grey wash you can break the grey wash down pretty good... i also use the eternal as well. but in my opinion the eternal kinda has a bluish tint when it heals.... that just my 2 cents

Never really noticed Eternal bluing, however when I used Talons a few years ago, I saw that it would.

Yea, I went from Talons, to Kuro Sumi, to Eternal, I liked the Sumi, but got a full rack of Eternals about a year ago, and really liked their black. (like I said in an earlier post though, what works for 1 doesn't always work for another)

So true....

personally i swear by one...
i started off with kiro sumi and made the switch to one about a year ago.
i have also heard of people "double boiling" talons but i have never tried to go that far... kingpin's one has been great.

I tried "One" for about 2 days , and I think I was just running my machines way too hard at that point, and with that ink being BLACK it kinda blew out on a few lines, so I was scared to use it anymore (it was most likely my machines fault though). I know a few folks that love it though.
