Default Black ink that won't run?

I like to use watercolor pencils and watercolor crayons on my stamped art, but find that the SU! classic ink runs, making my images muddy. I have India Ink Black by Superior, and it does not run, but I'm about to run out and haven't been able to find it.

Does anyone know of any other inks that dry quickly for watercoloring?

Thank you!

I use memento black.... Stamps by Judith's black ink and Marvy's matchable black. I also use Copics and ONLY use Memento inks. Hope that helps. Carol

Oh versafine by far. I don't use copics yet i only watercolour wirh pencils it works a treat hun, it has never smeared and it's brilliant for showing fine detail, take a peek at my blog if you like, all of my cards are watercoloured an i swear by it, Stazon is ok but not as richly coloured and versafine lasts much much longer.

I use both Memento Tuxedo Black and Versafine Onyx Black. I gave up on the SU! Basic Black pad.:twisted: It started to look more purple than black and no matter how long I let it "sit there" to dry, my light colors like pinks and yellows, always looked "dirty" once the water or blender pen touched the ink.
