He was considered a visionary entrepreneur who understood the cultural attributes of the newly invented fountain pen. Today, Platinum continue to be revolutionary in the design, engineering and technology of their fountain pens. Review: Brilliant for left handed fountain pen users! - I read quite a few reviews before buying this ink and am glad I did based on what I read about others. I love fountain pens and spent much of my adult life avoiding them because I had it drummed into me at school (Primary in the UK) that as a left hander, my writing was terrible and always smudged. It took me way too long to realise it was the fault of the ink and choice of pen back then, not the writer. So, armed with my new Lamy Safari, I loaded up the Lamy converter (alternative to ink cartridges) Platinum ink and tried writing. Wow! For the first time in my life, I can write with a fountain pen, dragging my hand over the page as I go, and not see a single smudge. Believe me, I have tried. The ink dries so quickly, that it doesn't smudge at all. It's a revelation to me as a huge fan of the idea of writing with a fountain pen and never having been able to do so successfully my whole life. I'm extremely happy with the Platinum ink and the little gadget in the bottle to make it easier to use a plunger style converter makes all the difference. The ink dries almost instantly and is a deep black colour on the page. It's beautiful to write with. Review: Excellent Permanent Ink. - I will compare this to the other permanent ink I have (rohrer & klingner Scabiosa). Right off the bat the colour is spot on, a REALLY deep black that's even blacker than my previous Diamine Onyx Black. It's important to note that when filling a pen with this, it can mix with other residual ink in the pen and form a sludge/gel that blocks it - I cleaned mine in an ultrasonic cleaner first to ensure it was going into a fully clean pen. The ink itself flows really well and far better than many other permanent inks which can cause the pen to skip (especially if you forget to re-cap the pen when you're busy). This Carbon Ink flows beautifully well but doesn't blot (I'm using it on a Lamy Safari with a fine nib). This makes it a very smooth ink to write with. The most important thing for me was that I use this at work and it MUST be waterproof/indelible. I took some pictures to illustrate. One is with a drop of water and a drop of 96% ethanol dropped onto it to see if it diffuses at all. The second picture is after I have deliberately run my finger across to try to smudge it. As you can see it doesn't smudge at all with the alcohol (which easily soaks into the paper) and does so only very slightly with water. I've also included the same test with my existing Scabiosa (dark purple) ink and you can see that even though that is also permanent, it diffuse more when wet and also smudges more than this Carbon Ink does (I'd score the Scabiosa 3/5 but this Carbon Ink 4.5/5 here - it's simply much better in this regard). I have re-uploaded the images because desertcart displays them in a random order rather then the order I upload them so annotations make them easier to understand. Drying time appears to be quicker than Scabiosa too so that's another bonus there. It's a bit expensive but you get what you pay for and having permanent ink that really is permanent for work is invaluable to me so I don't mind the outlay. ## Features - Pigmented carbon ink - Capacity 60ml - Ink colour: Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0028MTSFQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,712 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 3 in Bottled Ink | | Brand | PLATINUM | | Brand Name | PLATINUM | | Container Type | Jar | | Country Of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,662 Reviews | | Ink Colour | Black | | Item Type Name | ink bottle | | Item Volume | 60 Millilitres | | Item Weight | 168 g | | Item volume | 60 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Platinum | | Number of items | 1 | | Package information | Jar | | Paint Type | Ebony | | Paint type | Ebony | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PLATINUM - **Item volume:** 60 Millilitres - **Manufacturer:** Platinum - **Package information:** Jar - **Paint type:** Ebony ## Images ![Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pz-1sJnLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If this is waterproof, how do I clean out my fountain pen? Won't it dry in the nib feed etc? Thanks in advance.** A: Hi, I have not had a problem with this but do use my pen regularly and wash it out from time to time when refilling.It is used for sketching along with watercolour wash. If I was laying the pen up for any length of time I would wash out the pen and reservoir to be on the safe side. I also use this ink with a dip pen and reed/wood pens. **Q: Pls can I confirm this will work in any fountain pen with a converter obviously?** A: Platinum Carbon Ink can be used in all fountain pens. **Q: Do i need to buy something in order to fill my fountain pen cartridge with this ink?** A: I don't quite understand the question. I have both the ink and the prn. I love them both. **Q: so based on some of your responses this is like india ink? not sepia?** A: This is a very black ink and very waterproof ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant for left handed fountain pen users! *by M***H on 7 April 2025* I read quite a few reviews before buying this ink and am glad I did based on what I read about others.
