60ml bottle of Platinum Classic Lavender Black iron gall fountain pen ink, with a built-in reservoir for easy filling. The color will darken on the page within the first 24 hours after writing, even as soon as one hour later you may see a difference.

From Platinum:

Fountain pen inks that are produced using traditional methods have many times been replaced with an ink that is made by mixing dye inks due to their time-consuming production techniques. Meanwhile, Platinum Pen is currently the only company in Japan that manufactures blue black ink in a classic way.

The ink color that is bright when you start writing becomes gradually black. It is also highly water resistant and suitable for permanent preservation. This time, we have paid close attention to the process of changes in color of the classic ink, and have released six new colors with the aim to enhance the joy of using fountain pens. Emphasis on the shading has been placed, offering a rich deep writing. Please try our CLASSIC INK that will further expand the ability to enjoy writing with the fountain pens.

Fascinating to use

This was my first iron gall ink, and I paired it with the Pilot Custom 74 from the same order--a match made in heaven. The ink goes down bright, then deepens as it oxidizes into an elegant, rich color that suits the pen perfectly.

Fascinating ink!

I was given a sample of this ink, and liked it enough to buy a bottle. I won't try to name colors, but this goes down pretty and bright, and dries into a strong, deep, dark lavender. It's a fun ink to watch transition across the page as you're writing. If you're looking for something that's not just a regular ink, but doesn't have shimmer or anything that makes it hard writing in some pens, give this ink a try, or some of the other Classic inks in this series - if they all write as well as this, you won't be disappointed.

Nice iron-gall ink

This ink, and the others in the 'Platinum Classic' series are iron-gall inks. I do like the ink. My experience testing its water resistance (soaking the paper it was used on), was that the purple dye washed out. But the iron-gall in the ink left a permanent and legible 'shadow' on the paper even after the dye washed out.

Dark Strong Lavender

Pleasant color

Lavender-black colors

Using the lavender-black with fine nib, the ink looks to me more lavender than black, at least more than the color swatch seemed to me. Maybe if I used a medium wetter nib the black would be evident. That said, it's still a lovely combination. I'm enjoying the ink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
