Platinum Classic Ink - Cassis Black 60ml

In Japan, writing is more than a craft, it’s a way of being. Platinum captures this spirit through ink that connects hand, thought and paper in perfect harmony. Founded in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata, the brand was built on one idea: ink should express the clarity and calm of the Japanese soul. Platinum Classic Inks are permanent - Iron Gall - a type of ink made using a traditional formula based on iron salts and tannic acids, when initially they go on the paper in a lighter tone, as they dry they become darker and oxidise on the paper becoming permanent.

Every Platinum ink is made with precision and purpose. The formula balances flow, viscosity, and depth, allowing words to appear effortlessly and cleanly. In a world that moves fast, Platinum keeps writing grounded, calm, smooth, and intentional.

"While modern Iron Gall formulations are designed to be fountain pen friendly, they require proper maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and prevent residue buildup, it is recommended to clean your fountain pen regularly, ideally every week during continuous use. Avoid allowing the ink to dry inside the pen and do not leave the pen unused for extended periods while filled with iron gall ink. These inks are best used in fountain pens with high-quality steel or gold nibs and good sealing mechanisms. Regular flushing with clean water will help maintain smooth ink flow and protect the internal components of the pen. We - Pen Venture - are not liable for any harm caused by the use of these inks in your fountain pens."
