INK REVIEWS
Platignum
Blue,
Calligraphers Black, Brown, Red, Green
Difficult to find this ink. I do not think it is in production anymore. As soon as I can confirm that, I will eliminate this review.
The black is one of the darkest and
best flowing ink I have used and works great in just about any pen. The
ink is also a good test of being able to store ink. I bought up a case of
the black some 15 years ago. I keep the ink in a closed cupboard and to this
day it writes just fine.
I regularly get requests as to where you can buy
Platignum inks. I am told that Platignum inks in a wide variety of colours
are available from Wallacks on Bank Street in Ottawa, Ontario. (Thanks
to Alan Bennett for helping with that) and also Robert Antovel of Art & Frame
of Sarasota sells the ink in blue and black, bottles and cartridges.
- Black - dark rich colour with good flow
- Brown - a dark flat brown in colour,
I have not been able to get this ink for years but found long after dried,
it was susceptible to smudging if your fingers were moist.
