Review: Great, truly waterproof and very black ink for fountain pens and at a great price here. - I don't know how this seller can charge half of what everyone else seems to for this iconic, reliable ink, but it seems to be the real deal. Second bottle I've bought on desertcart. Great for using with watercolor and for everyday writing. Dries fast enough for a lefty to use without smearing. Review: A satisfyingly black ink for comic artist but expensive considering the competition - I've written this review multiple times trying to get it right so I'm going to start from the beginning. I draw comic books and saw people talking about this ink and how black it was on Youtube. After all the reviews, I found it on desertcart an ordered it. Comic book artist like deep black ink against white Bristol board, Speedball Super Black is generally what's used along with Ultra Draw, Dr. PH Martin and various sumi inks which are also getting popular now. I wanted to review this ink on the Night Phoenix Press Youtube channel specifically from the point of view of a comic book artist and how it would work with my Pentel Fude Brush Pen, brushes and dip pens. When I got it, it seemed to dry more dark grayish than black. I shook it up and everything. I will say with the dip and fountain pens there were never any problems. My go to inks are Blick Black Cat and Yasumoto Waterproof Sumi, but I originally tested Carbon Black against Blick Black Cat and Zig Black Ink 60 which is also sumi and made for drawing. Both inks seemed noticeably blacker, so I reviewed it here. I revamped my review when I noticed on 300gsm cotton water color paper Carbon Black went down black and stayed black. I don't know what happened, but a few days later I was going to remove Carbon Black from my brush pen and fill it with Ultra Draw (a thinner ink used for technical pens), but I made some marks with the brush pen and the Carbon Black went down very black and stayed that way. I drew a few images using the brush pen and it was indeed satisfyingly black. I don't know if the pigment had to settle or maybe there was some water still in the brush pen, but I did also try it with a brush early on so I don't know. It is very black now. I tossed the original dark grayish images I used in the original review, but have posted the new images of the ink being very black. My issue is with pricing, considering big bottles of sumi ink cost the same as this and two ounces of Super Black, Black Cat and Zig's cartoonist and manga inks all cost much less. The thing is this ink is marketed to fountain pen users. It's a very black ink that's thin enough to use in fountain pens and easy to clean up according to reviews I've seen. Also the cool glass bottle and internal cup definitely add to the price as most fountain pen inks come in these slick glass bottles that do look cool on a desk. It's a definite recommend, but not something I would buy consistently considering Black Cat, Speed Ball Super Black, Yasumoto and Zig's sumi inks are all very black and Ultra Draw is decently black and can be used as a brush pen ink. I assume Ultra Draw would also work in a fountain pen as it's made for Rapidograph and other technical pens which have much smaller outlets. Also it's more water resistant than waterproof, but according to some that has to do with the kind of paper used. I'm not going to be painting over it and sketch artist who watercolor their art like Teoh Yi Chie still like it, so there's that. -Nathyn Brendan Masters ## Features - Pigmented carbon ink - Capacity 60ml - Ink colour: Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0028MTSFQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,504 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #4 in Bottled Pen Ink | | Brand | PLATINUM | | Brand Name | PLATINUM | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,821 Reviews | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Type Name | ink bottle | | Item Volume | 60 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 5.92 ounces | | Manufacturer | Platinum | | Manufacturer Part Number | INKC-1500#1 | | Model Number | INKC-1500#1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Information | Bottle | | Paint Type | Ebony | | Volume | 60 Milliliters | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PLATINUM - **Item Volume:** 60 Milliliters - **Manufacturer:** Platinum - **Package Information:** Bottle - **Paint Type:** Ebony ## Images ![Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pz-1sJnLL.jpg) ![Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NUvOj2lTL.jpg) ![Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616lLfnQqTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: how waterproof is this? Will it stand up to water color on top? Also what is the drying time? Thx!** A: The Platimum Carbon ink is very waterproof. I use it in my fountain pen for sketching and then do watercolor over it when dry.... no problem. It takes a reasonable time to dry. I really like this ink! Nice dark black, and yes, waterproof when dry. **Q: Is this genuine platinum carbon ink? It just seems too goodbfor the price since its $30 everywhere else.** A: I don’t know as this is my first bottle. But it is waterproof. I wanted it to use with watercolours and this ink is perfect. I haven’t purchased it from anywhere else. The packaging etc seemed genuine **Q: Does this ink feather? note: i'm using a stillman & birns alpha sketchbook, which is medium grain and meant for mixed media.** A: Although I have actually used this ink, in the past, I must say I did not experience any feathering. It most definitely depends on the type of paper you are using. Unfortunately, there are so many different types available you are going to have to experiment to a small degree.I remember utilizing this ink on watercolor paper, and because this ink is considered "waterproof", ( much more than a lot of other brands), I was able to lay in washes over and on top of the line work, not that long after it was "dry". A customer reported on a "Jet Pen " blog , that if you use thin ,untreated paper, you could expect feathering and bleedthrough. I happen to use Stillman and Birn Sketchbooks all the time, and love them, and the paper is great.One last note, everyone who ever uses this ink, makes a special note of warning fellow artists about making sure you don't let this ink clog whatever pen you are using.Cleaning the pen is of utmost importance.I would have remiss, had I not stated that. I hoped I helped!! Good Luck............ BarryG **Q: What is it made of** A: I saw in a review it actually has carbon “nano-particles” instead of typical dye-based ink. This is why you may need to clean your pens more often. It’s BLACKER, but since there are carbon particles it could build up. That does not stop professionals from using it. Good luck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, truly waterproof and very black ink for fountain pens and at a great price here. *by C***I on January 15, 2026* I don't know how this seller can charge half of what everyone else seems to for this iconic, reliable ink, but it seems to be the real deal.

It just works great. Goes on smoothly, looks plenty dark, and is also waterproof, which is important to me as I love to paint watercolors over ink. ## Frequently Bought Together - Platinum Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black - Lamy Z28 Converter for fountain pen models Abc, AL-star, joy, Lx, nexx, nexx M, safari, vista - Asvine 5 Pack Fountain Pen Ink Syringe Filler, Spring Converter with Removable Blunt Needle Tip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/13312393-carbon-ink-bottle-60ml-black](https://www.desertcart.id/products/13312393-carbon-ink-bottle-60ml-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
