To Miasto
Just checked back six years in my What's Inked log, coincidently also Rhodia pad made into a notebook, and my PCB looks black enough. Maybe a bit less shiny, but I'm hardly the person to judge given I hadn't noticed its shininess in the first place! The Perle Noir sitting next to one of the entries is, I would say, blacker, but where it's shaded understandably greyer. Were it to get wet, of course, results would differ greatly, but I'm not putting my log under the tap just now.
In the words of Paul Simon, you can call me Al.

Before Noodlers Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black was rated for decades as second to Aurora.
I still have 2/3s of the bottle I bought 13 years ago on my return to fountain pens, so will never get the Aurora just for the hell of it.
Some folks using an EF nib on PPP...very, very poor paper claimed it was gray. I found it quite black but I was using 80g printer paper, which I now consider sort of poor.
So they were using real, real poor paper with an EF nib....come to think about it, the complainer didn't say what pen he was using...for all I know it could have been a Japanese EF.
I do think a bottle of 4001 black is easy to find, cheap and quite black.
Hi. After finding most FP inks fall off dipper nibs ! I got a bottle of pigmented black acrylic ink from OrnasoNova
...probably wouldn't use it in an FP, but I haven't tried .
It's a super black ink which dries quite shiny !
Can't recommend OrnasoNova enough as an awesome site 👍🏻👍🏻
Private Reserve Velvet Black (or is it Black Velvet?) is an alleged sheeniac.
My other pen is a Montblanc.
And my other blog is a tumblr!

Koh I noor - Document black is a very interesting black. It has a gold-ish sheen...

Colorverse Check ink is absolutely Black & shines crazy but to me it is the exact opposite of the beauty of a Tahitian black pearl. Shimmer free though. I do not much like it, don't know why? I also have Anchor, OH Perm.Black, Perele Noir, MB Per. Black, Namiki, Kiwa Guro etc. that I do not use. I use Take-sumi & Sailor Jentle Black all the time.
