Black ink substitute for Altenew Obsidian?

[soleilms]

I have an Altenew Obsidian black ink pad that has been my go-to black for 3+ years I would guess. It's starting to dry out a little and I can't find reinkers or even a replacement ink pad in stock anywhere!
I bought it at the same time as a Gina K Amalgam ink pad and I did not love that one nearly as much, the black wasn't as intense.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a close substitute for Altenew's Obsidian?

I started using the Versafine Claire Nocturne after trying several other black inks and it is a very intense black. I haven't used the Altenew before so not sure how they compare.

I like several blacks and it depends on what I am doing as to which one I use.
Verafine (not the clair) Onyx Black for most things
Memento If I'm going to use alcohol ink like Copic
Archival Black Soot or Jet Black IF I'm watercoloring

And I avoid this one like a plaque Catherine Pooler Midnight...it will not come off your stamps no matter what. I'm heavy handed and it ruined a stamp as I can no longer see through it to line it up.

I also have multiple black inks and do use them all. Versafine Onyx Black, Memento and Versafine Clair. I use them all and they are in a net little stack of three on my table.....that's their permanent home.
