60ml bottle of Platinum Pigmented Blue fountain pen ink. Platinum Blue Pigment Ink is pigmented in order to improve its water-resisting property, light stability and heat-resisting qualities, while other inks might be illusive water-based dyes. Blue Pigment Ink is thus suitable for important documents requiring archival qualities. This ink has many fine art applications, but many users enjoy its performance in fountain pens.
USE: multiple, notes, longform writing, etc.
PAPER OF CHOICE: Tūl, various Japanese papers
NIB(S): F, Diplomat, Waterman fountain pens
THOUGHTS: As Truphae stated, this is a performance ink. A serious performance ink. I've tried many blues (since they are my preferred color of choice), but none of them compare to Platinum's pigmented blue.
The flow is classic and slightly wet, leaving a distinct appearance on the page that instantly sets it apart from other inks. The hue is neither too red or too green, and is a true blue. The photos simply do not do it justice.
On very polished papers intended for fountain pen use, the ink displays a wonderful blue color, and lines are incredibly crisp even if unblotted. On slightly more fibrous paper (Tūl, printer, college ruled etc.), the ink spreads a little more and its color is lighter, having a redder tinge reminiscent of Royal Blue.
I keep the ink in the reservoir for extended periods of time, yet it hasn't dyed any of my converters, unlike some other pigmented inks I use.
