Review: Great, truly waterproof and very black ink for fountain pens and at a great price here. - I don't know how this seller can charge half of what everyone else seems to for this iconic, reliable ink, but it seems to be the real deal. Second bottle I've bought on desertcart. Great for using with watercolor and for everyday writing. Dries fast enough for a lefty to use without smearing.
Review: Great but needy - Platinum Carbon Ink is a solid choice if you're looking for a true black ink that’s waterproof and archival quality. It has a deep, rich black color that makes your writing or artwork stand out. The ink is great for situations where permanence is important, and it performs well on different paper types with minimal feathering and low bleed-through. However, it's a pigmented ink, which means it requires a bit more care and maintenance. If you don't regularly clean your pen, it can lead to clogging, and getting the pen back to working smoothly can be a hassle. While it doesn't offer any shading or sheen, the rich black tone provides excellent contrast, which is great for readability. Overall, Platinum Carbon Ink is a great option for those needing durable, high-quality ink. Just be prepared for the extra effort to maintain your pens to avoid any performance issues.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A satisfyingly black ink for comic artist but expensive considering the competition
*by N***S on January 8, 2024*

I've written this review multiple times trying to get it right so I'm going to start from the beginning. I draw comic books and saw people talking about this ink and how black it was on Youtube. After all the reviews, I found it on Amazon an ordered it. Comic book artist like deep black ink against white Bristol board, Speedball Super Black is generally what's used along with Ultra Draw, Dr. PH Martin and various sumi inks which are also getting popular now. I wanted to review this ink on the Night Phoenix Press Youtube channel specifically from the point of view of a comic book artist and how it would work with my Pentel Fude Brush Pen, brushes and dip pens. When I got it, it seemed to dry more dark grayish than black. I shook it up and everything. I will say with the dip and fountain pens there were never any problems. My go to inks are Blick Black Cat and Yasumoto Waterproof Sumi, but I originally tested Carbon Black against Blick Black Cat and Zig Black Ink 60 which is also sumi and made for drawing. Both inks seemed noticeably blacker, so I reviewed it here. I revamped my review when I noticed on 300gsm cotton water color paper Carbon Black went down black and stayed black. I don't know what happened, but a few days later I was going to remove Carbon Black from my brush pen and fill it with Ultra Draw (a thinner ink used for technical pens), but I made some marks with the brush pen and the Carbon Black went down very black and stayed that way. I drew a few images using the brush pen and it was indeed satisfyingly black. I don't know if the pigment had to settle or maybe there was some water still in the brush pen, but I did also try it with a brush early on so I don't know. It is very black now. I tossed the original dark grayish images I used in the original review, but have posted the new images of the ink being very black. My issue is with pricing, considering big bottles of sumi ink cost the same as this and two ounces of Super Black, Black Cat and Zig's cartoonist and manga inks all cost much less. The thing is this ink is marketed to fountain pen users. It's a very black ink that's thin enough to use in fountain pens and easy to clean up according to reviews I've seen. Also the cool glass bottle and internal cup definitely add to the price as most fountain pen inks come in these slick glass bottles that do look cool on a desk. It's a definite recommend, but not something I would buy consistently considering Black Cat, Speed Ball Super Black, Yasumoto and Zig's sumi inks are all very black and Ultra Draw is decently black and can be used as a brush pen ink. I assume Ultra Draw would also work in a fountain pen as it's made for Rapidograph and other technical pens which have much smaller outlets. Also it's more water resistant than waterproof, but according to some that has to do with the kind of paper used. I'm not going to be painting over it and sketch artist who watercolor their art like Teoh Yi Chie still like it, so there's that. -Nathyn Brendan Masters
