My favorite ink to work with hands down. The Portland Intense Black mixes really well to create warmer or cooler blacks. However, this is not water soluble so cleaning up is way more of a hassle. Dry time is typically 5 days.

Speedball Professional Relief Ink in Graphic Black is my go to. It is water soluble so, truth be told, since Camus usually gets in my ink it is nice to be able to wash it off her paws with just water.

Graphic Black is a great out of the can black. My only beef with this ink is it gets tacky pretty quick but the prints also dry much quicker than prints made with Gamblin relief ink so I can’t complain.

Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink is great because it is also water soluble. I use Cranfield extender in my Speedball ink, and it works a charm. However, it takes approximately 5 million years for the prints to dry so I do not print with this except for special projects.
