Platinum Chou Kuro Black

Chou Kuro is the blackest ink ever created from Platinum in its 104-year history! An ink that is blacker than black, and 46.8% darker than Platinum's famous Carbon Black, this new permanent ink from Platinum is going to set the new standard of what is possible from permanent black ink in the fountain pen market. 

Available in 60ml bottle or 2ml sample in a plastic vial.

Please note: This ink is safe to use in fountain pens, but regular care and cleaning should be done, as pigmented ink can be damaging if allowed to completely dry up inside the pen. To be safe, we recommend cleaning your pen every 4 to 6 weeks, or if you don't plan on using the pen for a week or longer.

PLATINUM PEN COMPANY

Established in 1919 by Syunchi Nakata, Platinum Pen Co. is renowned as a manufacturer of fine fountain pens, but is relatively unknown in the West. Platinum is closely related to the legendary Nakaya fountain pen brand, where some of the finest fountain pens in the world are created.

Platinum now manufactures a huge range of writing instruments from maki-e fountain pens to hi-tech pencils, rollerballs and ballpoints.
