Customer Reviews
It is perfect for landscape sketching, the first color upon application is a beautiful natural green then it turns dark black-green. Quick drying, waterproof and beautiful complex color. I love it and re ordered !
I have a short list of qualities I look for in an ink: 1- waterproof. Ink is INK, it shouldn't wash off. 2- Dries quickly. This varies with type of paper, but by the time I get to the end of a line, the beginning of the line should be smear proof. 3- Tight line -- no spreading. I want an EF line from an EF nib. Many inks give a fatter F or M line even from an EF. Platinum Classic Forest Black is a rich, dark green that checks all the boxes. BONUS: it gives some nice shading. NOTE: Pen, feed, and paper variables will affect your results. I'm usung Miliko 100gsm journal paper.
I bought this and the Lavender Black after reading up on inks that would work well on cheap paper - I use a cheap notebook at work for taking orders and this ink has performed best for that purpose out of over 10 samples I tried - minimal bleeding, no feathering, and dries quickly enough for me to turn the page when I need to. I love the olive-toned forest color as well! Will definitely be purchasing a full bottle.
Love this ink I can't wait to purchase a full bottle after trying the sample it's a lovely warm forest green
This ink is so lovely. I have it inked in a Kaweco Sport with a fine nib. It is the perfect shade of green for my Hobonichi Weeks. Already purchased a full bottle:)
