@NullNoMore I bought this same pen a couple of months ago and love it! It's currently inked with a purple from Jacques Herbin, and it looks amazing.

@kristenhg - (takes notes). The sales guy suggested Pelican since I want to start with black ink (I am basic)

@NullNoMore For a TWSBI I would actually suggest a “wetter” (heavier flow) ink. Try Herbin Perle Noire, Aurora Black. Or TWSBI Black works too

@paradoxmo (note taking intensifies) it will really depend on what my local store carries (Payne's, small but dense, like me!), so it is great to have a variety of suggestions

@NullNoMore if they don’t have these, you can try Waterman, Parker, or Cross blacks. Waterman is the best for ink flow but is a bit greyish, the others are blacker and are pretty good.

If they can let you try the ink by dipping with your pen that would be the most ideal.

@NullNoMore that's a pretty pen. Is that the vacuum one?
