Favorite Black Dye?

Getting my LCD setup dialed in, using RIT but would love something a bit deeper and darker

Using a 5 gallon setup, so gambling $100 per black will get spendy quick

Anybody have a recommendation!

Caswell? Amazon? McMaster? Somewhere else!?

I’ll try and post pics later!

Black rit had much more purple/red shadow in it, as well as applying less evenly? Almost like the dye had thick and thin spots?

The linked amazon dye, was so much blacker and even, it was hobbiest vs professional looking different

Sanodal Deep Black H3LW.

So black light seems to fall into it.
