Add a touch of subtle moody elegance to your handwriting with Platinum Classic Fountain Pen Ink in Lavender Black. Crafted in Japan by Platinum Pen Co., Ltd.—the only remaining pen manufacturer in Japan preserving traditional iron gall ink-making techniques—this specialty bottled ink offers a captivating color-shifting process that evolves directly on the page.
Upon touching paper, Lavender Black lays down as a soft, vibrant purple lavender hue. As the ink reacts with oxygen in the air, it undergoes a stunning oxidation process, darkening before your eyes into a deep, mysterious dusky black-violet. This traditional iron gall formulation creates remarkable shading variance that highlights every stroke of your fountain pen nib. Once cured, the ink bonds with paper fibers to deliver outstanding water resistance and archival permanence, ensuring your journals, letters, and artwork stay preserved for years to come.
Housed in a heavy 60 ml square glass bottle, each unit includes an internal ink reservoir insert to make dipping and filling your fountain pens clean, efficient, and effortless.
Maintenance Tip: Due to the traditional iron gall formulation, regular cleaning and flushing of your fountain pen every 4–6 weeks is recommended.
