## Description

Platinum carbon ink bottle ink black 60cc (japan import) : desertcart.in: Office Products

Review: I LOVE IT! - The ink is waterproof. No bleeding marks. The black colour looks so good! You can use it for sketching or write journals. Maintenance is key to keep the pen safe without clogging. If you’re too lazy, use cheap fountain pen. I google translated the Japanese on the box to English in the image, check it. I love the quality of the ink.
Review: Ink that's darker than the void in your heart. - Been using this ink in my TWSBI ECO extra fine nib pen as an experiment. Expected it to cause clogging issues since it's an EF nib and this is a carbon based ink. To my surprise there have been 0 issues. Also, it's absolutely waterproof and is one of the darkest inks out there(beaten only by platinum chou kuro ink). So it's absolutely fantastic for sketches and artwork with watercolour washes or even ink washes. Fabulous ink. 4.5/5

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how waterproof is this? Will it stand up to water color on top? Also what is the drying time? Thx!**
A: The Platimum Carbon ink is very waterproof.  I use it in my fountain pen for sketching and then do watercolor over it when dry.... no problem.  It takes a reasonable time to dry.   I really like this ink!  Nice dark black, and yes, waterproof when dry.

**Q: Is this genuine platinum carbon ink? It just seems too goodbfor the price since its $30 everywhere else.**
A: I don’t know as this is my first bottle. But it is waterproof. I wanted it to use with watercolours and this ink is perfect. I haven’t purchased it from anywhere else. The packaging etc seemed genuine

**Q: Does this ink feather? 
note: i'm using a stillman & birns alpha sketchbook, which is medium grain and meant for mixed media.**
A: Although I have actually used this ink, in the past, I must say I did not experience any feathering. It most definitely depends on the type of paper you are using.
Unfortunately, there are so many different types available you are going to have to experiment to a small degree.I remember utilizing this ink on watercolor paper, and because this ink is considered "waterproof", ( much more than a lot of other brands), I was able to lay in washes over and on top of the line work, not that long after it was "dry".
A customer reported on a "Jet Pen " blog , that if you use thin ,untreated paper, you could expect feathering and bleedthrough. I happen to use Stillman and Birn Sketchbooks all the time, and love them, and the paper is great.One last note, everyone who ever uses this ink, makes a special note of warning fellow artists about making sure you don't let this ink clog whatever pen you are using.Cleaning the pen is of utmost importance.I would have remiss, had I not stated that. I hoped I helped!!
Good Luck............

**Q: What is it made of**
A: I saw in a review it actually has carbon “nano-particles” instead of typical dye-based ink.  This is why you may need to clean your pens more often.  It’s BLACKER, but since there are carbon particles it could build up.  That does not stop professionals from using it.  Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the black you need but you have been warned.
*by D***Y on 13 June 2020*

As always lets get the problem out first this ink is hard to clean in pen and I mean it. Also it being a carbon ink means that you will require to clean and maintain your pen at much frequent intervals than normal thus the warning of title. Now good bits and there are alot for those who can get over cleaning. First its a carbon ink and will work on most papers infact it has less bleed than my Sheaffer skrip black. Second its permanent ink, tried water, vinegar, soda and alcohol non work so yeah your writing is gonna be safe. Third is color, simply put is dark black with no hint of grey or violet (looking at you skrip). Fourth, this may vary from user and pen but the ink has high flow meaning to say is wet writer. It has good dry time on most papers (I use simple A4 sheets and registers). Last value.....for me it was worth the money I spend as I needed waterproof ink and the dark black is very nice plus considering that a bottle lasts long I can be confident of investment. Go try if you can but be warned cleaning will require you a lot of effort.
