Platinum are best known for their fountain pens, with high quality nibs and extra smooth writing (look out for the music nib, popular amongst artists and calligraphers). Their 3776 features an oversized 18k gold nib, with some models featuring their patented slip and seal mechanism to stop the ink drying out. The colourful Plaisir makes a Platinum fountain pen available to all, and is a great beginner’s pen. Fine, medium and broad nib options are available, whilst Platinum’s own ink cartridge must be used.
