PLATINUM, Ink Bottle - Carbon Black CHOU Kuro 60mL

The customer experience with the Carbon Chou Kuro ink has been overwhelmingly positive, characterized by satisfaction with its performance and aesthetic qualities. Users frequently highlight the ink's vividness, describing it as “very, very black,” with a distinctive matte finish that stands out on various paper types. This quality is particularly appreciated by those who write extensively, such as professionals needing clear, easily readable notes. The ink's excellent performance on different papers — from high-end options like Tomoe River to standard copy paper — is noted for its lack of feathering and bleeding, even when using fine nibs. Moreover, the ink is described as well-behaved, providing a delightful writing experience that encourages users to write more frequently. However, it does come with a caveat: while advertised as water-resistant, it does smudge when layered with watercolor, which could be a drawback for artists. Additionally, some users mention needing to adopt new pen hygiene routines, specifically the use of distilled water during maintenance. Despite these minor issues, the overall sentiment is that the quality and writing experience Far outweigh the drawbacks. The high price point may initially deter some potential buyers, but many report that the unique characteristics and performance justify the investment after experiencing the ink firsthand. ###
