Platinum Citrus Black Review

Cue my OBBB. Thanks for reminding me to open my bottle.

Yes, this ink is dry and wants a wetter nib that can handle it.

 

I've used the ink in a couple pens, both of which are wet writers but probably not gushers. I may try the ink one more time but have to figure out what my wettest pen is.

Oh YES, that's a perfect nib for this ink. Enjoy!

I really want to like this ink but its so dry it I cant find a pen that works well with it. Maybe I have a bad bottle.

 

A wet fine or medium is where this ink shines. I personally don't like it in broader nibs.

What was the flow and lubrication like. thanks for the review.

Dry and terrible. This is an iron gall ink through and through. It is very well behaved and doesn't skip but don't expect it to make a nib glide.

I love the colour of this ink and as the review says it is indeed very unique. I only picked up a bottle recently. Two things to note though:

1. It stains, big time.

2. It is easily the driest and most unlubricated ink I own.

The staining doesn't bother me because I'm only using it in pens with converters, but the complete lack of lubrication in the ink makes it a little hard to love overall.

Yeah, this ink is all about the color change and result.

Came here from the "favorite yellow inks" thread. Will be adding a sample to my cart shortly.

 

Anyone else here because of that thread?

Note that it's at most yellow when wet, as it dries it tends towards a golden-tinted brown (dark brown even when there's a lot of ink accumulation): (fresh ink in the lower right; dried ink elsewhere):

That works for me. I wouldn't want a brighter yellow ink. I don't draw or colour with them, so my inks need to be legible.
