phentrek Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 It appears that several people, me included, are ordering one of the various Platinum Mix Free sample kits available. I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where people can share the recipes cooked up with these kits. I hope people will post sample pictures along with recipes for colors they've created using the kits.

corniche Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Greetings AG, Thank you very much for posting this... BTW, please remind me to kill you later. So many beautiful combinations; I'll never know what to load my pen(s) with anymore! That QB + LG looks like a very close match to New York Central Jade, (an old railroad color I'm fond of).

SamCapote Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Altec, have you eaten and slept yet? LOL! I can picture you working feverishly on these like you are trying to find the cure for cancer. It's really obvious how much fun you are having. Has anyone checked the water-proofness of the basic bottles? AG, did you only do that one with the dilutant ("DL") so far? I'm wondering how well that works. With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature. Link to post Share on other sites

AltecGreen Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Has anyone checked the water-proofness of the basic bottles? +1 Water resistant. Seems a bit better than Iroshizuku. They are not fully waterproof like Platinum's Carbon Black. The words remain quite legible while wet even the color bleeds. It may become better if the ink has had time to really dry. 2020 San Francisco Pen Show August 28-30th, 2020Pullman Hotel San Francisco Bay223 Twin Dolphin DriveRedwood City Ca, 94065 Link to post Share on other sites
