## Description

We’ve had a number of customers asking for Platinum Carbon Ink – enough so that we sourced this unique Japanese product for them. The ink comes in an elegant 60cc glass bottle (a touch over 2 ounces) – and is in a black box with Japanese characters (I have no idea what it says). Users of Carbon Ink fit into two groups – those who swear by it, and those who swear at it. So a caveat of caution is required for anyone unfamiliar with the ink. Platinum Carbon Ink is pigmented in order to improve its water-resisting property, light stability and heat-resisting qualities, while other inks might be illusive water-based dyes. Carbon Ink is thus suitable for important documents requiring archival qualities. Carbon Ink also performs well with watercolors or colored inks as Carbon Ink tends to resist running. This ink has many fine art applications, but many users enjoy its performance in fountain pens Relative to dye based inks Platinum Carbon Ink contains ultra-fine particles that may prove problematic for some fountain pen users. There are so many combinations of techniques, fountain pen styles, maintenance, humidity, etc. that your particular experience will need testing to make a personal judgment on this product. There should be no obstacles for brushes or dip pens. Forgeta-bout-it if you get this ink on your hands or clothing – it is not easy clean up. This ink goes down very black and seems to quickly dry waterproof. I soaked inked paper in water and all was stable. Being pigmented the ink should be lightfast – but I have no technical info supporting this.

Review: Platinum Carbon Black Ink - This is great ink for sketching and adding watercolor washes over it. A friend introduced me to it a couple of years ago but I have never been able to find it in the US. You could only get it by ordering pens from Japan and then it would cost about $23.00 a bottle. So getting it through desertcart for the price I bought it was great! It is very permanent. Don't get it on clothing. Will dry quickly and does not bleed when a watercolor wash is added immediately after. Also it flows well in the pen...it does not clog.
Review: Smearproof, water resistant, quick drying, jet black - This ink has worked great for me so far -- very black, dries quickly without smearing, doesn't clog my fountain pen. I'm using it in a Noodler's Ahab Fountain Pen (http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B00AWFEK72/) which lays down quite a bit of ink. Originally I was using the pen with the recommended Noodler's Bulletproof Black, but it would smear significantly if I erased over it, even days after drying. I tried this Platinum Carbon Black instead, and it's tons better -- the ink is dry and the pencil beneath is erasable very quickly. Huge improvement over the Noodler's.

### ⭐ Same product description, two different products.
*by S***N on January 10, 2015*

Ordered this once and the ink performed superbly. Jet black and completely waterproof. I ordered this ink once again and the ink was incredibly NOT waterproof. First of all, the boxing of the ink well was different. The initial order was in a small black box covered in japanese. The only English says Platinum Carbon Ink Black. Whereas the second bottle is half English/Japanese. After peeling off the sticker barcode on the second bottle, the product ID on the box read, INC-1200. Whereas the first box's product ID reads, INC-1500. Funny, though th sticker I tore off clearly read Platinum Carbon Black. The image in the product description matches my first purchase. So if you happen to get that one, awesome. It works great. Completely waterproof and as black as a moonless night.
