Platinum Black

Recommended Posts

Here is a written review for Platinum Black. What I want to say that mine seems to be a different review from other ones of the ink. I think that the cartridge may have played a part here. There is a comparison done with Quink Black, which was tested after the pen was made into an ED.

 

Sorry about the angle of the photo, I didn't notice until after I'd uploaded it. The photo was taken under artificial light, with the camera set to compensate for this and alter the white balance. The result looks pretty accurate on my screen.

Thanks for the review. I've not tried the Platinum black and, having read your review, I probably won't get any in the future. I've had their blue & red. Overall, I'm drifting toward the conclusion that Noodler's is such a superior ink, especially their blacks, that there's really no reason to look elsewhere.

 

I should quality that with a note that the Omas black is very, very good, too. However, it's less readily available than Noodler's and seems to be a little pricier.

OtterNZ, i'm sorry you don't like the ink for it being washed out, but that's exactly what attracts me to it.

 

thanx for the review!

I use this in cartridges because I can't use the Carbon Black carts for my non desk pens for fear of clogging the feed.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
