Platinum Carbon Ink Waterproof Pigment Ink

Platinum Carbon Ink is renowned for its deep, archival black and exceptional permanence.Crafted in Japan using ultra-fine pigment particles, it delivers a rich, dense black that holds its ground confidently under watercolour washes. Its a favourite among artists and illustrators for good reason.Performance & care a quick heads upBecause this is a pigment-based ink, it behaves a little differently from our dye-based fountain pen inks.Its compatible with all of our pens The Lumos, Wren, Field Mouse and our Fountain Pens. If youre using the finest fineliner tips in the Lumos (0.4 and below), here are a few helpful pointers:If you wont be using your pen for more than a few days, remove the tip and reservoir, rinse thoroughly with water, and allow everything to dry completely before refilling.Avoid storing your Lumos vertically (tip up). Ink can flow away from the nib, leaving it less saturated and more prone to drying out even when capped.If pigment ink dries inside a tip or reservoir, it cant be revived due to the pigment particles. Simply replace the tip and reservoir and youre back in business.A little care goes a long way. In return, youll get crisp, permanent, archival black lines.*Waterproof? Almost.This ink is highly water-resistant once fully dry. It will hold beautifully under a light to moderate colour wash. Very heavy, very wet overwashes may cause slight movement, so we always recommend testing before committing final marks to the page.
