Evoke the warmth of vintage manuscripts with Platinum Classic Fountain Pen Ink in Sepia Black. Crafted in Japan by Platinum Pen Co., Ltd.—the only remaining pen manufacturer in Japan that continues to produce iron gall inks using traditional methods—this specialty bottled ink combines timeless antique aesthetics with fascinating color-shifting performance.
When first applied to paper, Sepia Black flows with a rich, golden-brown hue. As the ink dries and oxidizes with exposure to air, it undergoes a striking transformation, darkening into a deep, earthy sepia-black tone. This traditional formula emphasizes dramatic shading, making every stroke of your fountain pen nib expressively unique. Once fully oxidized, the iron gall ink develops exceptional water resistance and archival longevity, making it an ideal choice for heirloom journals, historical calligraphy, correspondence, and permanent records.
Presented in a sturdy 60 ml cube glass bottle, it features an internal ink reservoir insert to ensure clean, easy refills down to the last drop.
Maintenance Tip: Due to the traditional iron gall formulation, regular cleaning and flushing of your fountain pen every 4–6 weeks is recommended.
