I am really thinking about buying this set… It might be fun to mix inks. Also… the variation is great. I wonder about the quality. I have never used Platinum inks before. How are they?

[danielb]

I didn’t use too many Platinum inks, but from what I heard, they are generally regarded as good inks. @dragorsi and @Kimmuriel use the Carbon Black for drawing, because it’s waterproof. I have the Dark Violet, and Gold Ochre mixes in two pens, I can show them to you on the next pen meet.

Thanks! That would be great!
