Description
Platinum Bottled Inks are an excellent choice for filling your Platinum brand fountain pen, or pens from any other manufacturer. Platinum makes a variety of different formulations and colors available:
- Dye-Stuff Inks: Available from Platinum in Black, Blue-Black, and Red, these inks are formulated from dyes dissolved in water and are considered the safest, wettest, and easiest flowing among fountain pen inks. They tend to be more washable and easier to clean up after as well. You should be able to use these inks in any contemporary or vintage fountain pen.
- Pigment Inks: Available from Platinum in Blue, a brown Brun Sepia, and Rose Red, these pigment inks have the same appearance in the bottle as dye-based inks. The color in pigment inks, however, is derived from microscopic particles suspended in a liquid, rather than dissolved dyes. This results in increased water resistance and permanence, but also means these inks require more regular cleaning of your fountain pen.
- Carbon and Chou Kuro Inks: Similar to pigment inks, Platinum’s Carbon Black and Chou Kuro inks are formulated using microscopic carbon particles suspended in a liquid. Both inks are faster-drying, more permanent, and more water resistant than a dye-based ink would be. The Chou Kuro is specially formulated to provide a particularly intense, rich, and deep black appearance. As with pigment inks, regular cleaning of your fountain pen is recommended when using these inks.
