Platinum Blue-Black - 60ml Bottled Ink

Incredibly Underrated Ink

This is one of my favorite inks, and not just because it came with my first fountain pen, which was a Platinum Prefounte. I really think this is an incredibly underrated ink as popular inks go, and really holds its own among them. It's definitely more blue than blue-black, and what a blue it is. It's hard to describe, sort of a hazy sky blue, it makes me think of a summer day. The shading is beautiful, and with enough on the paper it almost gets a sort of reddish sheen. It dries fast, flows well, and is quite permanent to boot. Do yourself a favor and add this to your collection

First converter

I have never used anything but cartridges before, but I got a converter for my Platinum Prefounte (which is a nice, inexpensive pen) and used this ink. I have used black for years, but I really like the blue-black. It looks like writing I have seen from the 1930s or something.

Waterproof!

I think this is a really underrated ink. It performs so well on cheap notebook paper. No bleed or feather and it’s waterproof.
