The "blackest-black" ink in Platinum Pen's history of over 100 years.

With the growing interest in fountain pen inks in recent years, the variation of ink colors is also increasing. In response to the customersʼ request for a blacker ink, Platinum Pen has developed a new ink that is the best black ink ever in its long history of 104 years since its founding. The new ink, whose blackness has been proven by numerical values, offers an excellent visibility with a clear and intense black color, allowing you to keep memories and records on paper.

In addition, it prevents the ink bleeding through onto paper while also being highly water-resistant and fade-resistant after writing, making the ink ideal for writing letters, journals and anything else you want to last a lifetime. Enjoy the true black color like never before.

The first 1,000 unites of Chou Kuro sold will be included as part of a limited edition box set at no extra cost including:

• Chou Kuro bottle ink with an ink reservoir
• 1 Silver Converter
• 1 Bottle Purified Cleaning Water (250ml)

Once the limited edition box set runs out, Chou Kuro will only be available as the regular edition ink bottle moving forward, so order now while supplies last!
