Platinum Carbon Reviews
This is a very nice looking fountain pen and has a hand friendly feel to it.
This fountain pen is a nice alternative to a glass dip pen when using a thicker ink and/or a permanent ink.

I ordered the medium nib on my Platinum Carbon ink pen. It writes the same as a Western fine and that is what I like. I also have a Carbon pen with the fine nib that writes like an American extra-fine. Both pens feed the Carbon black ink to the nibs with no problems at all. I am pleased with these pens.

Weird-looking pen, for sure, and it’s not going to fit in most of my pen cases. But I don’t care. It’s comfortable to hold and writes like butter. The carbon ink is fully waterproof when dry, and its gorgeous black color looks absolutely fabulous on sketches, watercolors, and even hard-to-write-on papers. I use it all the time. Thanks for carrying this awesome art tool, Pen Chalet!

My first use of carbon ink (by Platinum)was in their PLATINUM CFTR-250C brush pen. The pen is ~$4 and refillable so I couldn't resist. Though it says brush, the tip is felt which didn't take long to become clogged with the pigment in the ink. It took 20 days of tip soaking and refreshing a weak ammonia solution to clear the feed and felt. (12% by vol.)
I liked Platinum Carbon Ink's feel, varied surface adhesions, and water resistance so purchased a bottle. I used it in a Pilot Metropolitan fine tip and a Platinum Preppy 0.5 tip. Both started stalling within a week.
I then discovered Platinum made a fountain pen for the ink. I bought the medium tip unit and have used it for two weeks with no stalling nor clogging. I store it with the nib slanted downward in a pint cottage cheese container.
IT IS MY GOTO PEN for black ink work.
The ratings on #2 are based on 3 weeks of using the pen.
