In what context are you looking for that sort of ink...

As a rule most pigment inks, especially the Epson types would probably fit the bill but it depends on the paper and print speed too... It'd help if you could give a bit more info on what you intend to print, when, where, speeds, etc...

For Canon CLI-40/BCI-3eBk/PGI-5Bk black text cartridges the best refill ink is no doubt KMP ink from Germany. I refill alot of cartridges for people and they are still amazed how good this ink is. Even better than Canon's own pigmented black ink and it is really deep black and has a very good highlighter fastness (i.e. it does not smear when you marks your text with a highlighter). And it is also completely waterproof.
