My girlfriend has one of those purple "retro-pop" Pilot Metros with a transplanted 1.1 stub nib from a Plumix. She keeps complaining that it's "leaking," which seems to mean that when she uncaps it to use it there's ink all over the section, so she gets inky fingers. I've inspected it fairly close...

Pilot Plumix (European) packaging rear - with nib grades’ nominal widths marked.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Mercian’s pens
The back of the point-of-sale packaging for my European-market Pilot Plumix ‘F’. I am delighted by the fact that Pilot actually listed the nominal measured widths of its different grades of Plumix nib.

Pilot Plumix ‘F’ - point-of-sale pack for French market.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Mercian’s pens
The front of the point-of-sale package in which my Pilot Plumix ‘F’ arrived. My pen is a European-market version, so takes ‘short international cartridges’. Caveat lector: A long’ ‘international’ cartridge just about fits in to this pen, but if one unscrews the barrel from the pen...

From the album: Mercian’s pens
Everything that was in the point-of-sale packaging of my Pilot Plumix ‘F’: The little booklet that gives a brief outline of how to ‘draw’ calligraphic glyphs for the Latin alphabet; Two short ‘international’ cartridges (do they contain Pilot ink? Or some other brand? Il ne di...

Pilot Plumix (Europe) ‘F’ - ventral morphology.jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Mercian’s pens
A side-on view of my (European-market) Pilot Plumix ‘F’. The ‘ventral morphology’ is more obvious on this, solid-black-bodied, pen than is that of its translucent-bodied, ‘M’-nibbed, cousin.

Behold; the belly of the beast! 😉 A side-view of my example of the European species of Pilot Plumix. Mine has a nib that is marked ‘M’. Inside it one can see the ‘Short International’ cartridge of blue ink that came to me with the pen.

This is my Pilot Plumix. It nib is marked ‘M’, and has what I think is an Italic grind. Pilot makes a similar-looking pen called the ‘Pluminix’. That one is a smaller ‘cousin’ of this one. The way that I remember the difference is by thinking of the Pluminix as a ‘mini Plumix’....

This photo is an attempt to show another aspect of the strange, rather ‘loligoform’ shape of this pen - its ridged ventral swelling, aka the ‘belly of the beast’ 😉 Clearly though, I ought to have first removed the sticker 🤦♂️ The sticker has the code FCD-PXN-B-M printed on it. My pen ha...

How-to: Set, or change, personal info that others can see about me
A Smug Dill posted a blog entry in Sus Minervam docet
It helps to explore this yourself, revisiting once in a while if need be, and keep in mind where each of those personal info fields are entered. Don't leave it until the urge to change something specific to come upon you, and only then bother to ask the question! Invest the time surveying upfront, i... -

Pilot Plumix nibs comparison writing in Noodler's Aircorp Blue Black
A Smug Dill posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Nib comparisons
Pilot Plumix, Penmanship, Kakuno, 78G, Prera and Cocoon/MR (including but not limited to the MR Metropolitan) pens all use the same type of interchangeable, friction-fit steel nibs, so getting a Pilot Enso Plumix hand lettering set means I get three italic nibs (of F, M and B width grades) that will...© A Smug Dill

Pilot Steel Italic Nibs Of Different Widths
A Smug Dill posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Now that it is possible to buy Pilot Plumix pens — which are fitted with broad-edged nibs — with different (F, M and nib widths, I bought a new set (as opposed to the old three-pack all fitted with M nibs; I still have another one of those sitting in a drawer unopened, although Amazon Australia don... -
I bought a Pilot Plumix a while ago as my first stub nib pen. Though initially I had a bit of fun with it, I find I don't use it much - even while I use my flex nibs quite a lot. I thought it was a little bit of money wasted, until today when i found out I could use it as a flat-head screwdriver. Wi...

Are the nibs on the Pilot Kakuno swappable with the other cheaper pilot pens that all swap nibs (Metropolitan, 78g, Penmanship, Plumix, etc.)? The smiles on the Kakuno nibs make me unsure, as none of the others have them, but if they are I would love to put one of the smile nibs on my Prera! Than...

Swapped Pilot Plumix Nib On A Metropolitan, Now It Skips
cam94z28 posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
I had an unfortunate mishap with my Pilot Metropolitan at work, and destroyed the nib. I dropped it (cap off), onto a tile floor, it bounced off the nib and "double-tapped", bending it in two different directions. Needless to say, the nib was mangled. Wanting to try a different type of nib, and not... -
I bought the Pilot Plumix recently on a bit of a whim, hoping to swap out of the nib in my Metro for the italic version in the Plumix. Having cleaned my Metro over the weekend, I swapped the nibs, loaded the Metro (with the Plumix italic) with Kon-Peki and gave it a shot. This is my first time usi...

Appearance/Design (8/10) Unusual but functional. The barrel swells out slightly before gently tapering at the end. There's no clip but the cap sports little wings to prevent the (capped or posted) pen from rolling. I like the Plumix's triangular grip. The nib and feed are friction-fit and can easi...

A Franken-Plumix has come my way - it has one color body, anther color cap, and is missing the nib. Reading carefully on FPN, and calling a supplier or two, it seems that: Pliot does not sell nibs for these pens Pilot Varsity nibs will not work Generic nibs will not work But nibs from Pi...

I've always wanted an italic nib, and it seems nearly all are WAY out of my price range since I'm not a collector, just everyday user. I recently tumbled upon the plumix, a pen that will get me some weird looks, but might be interesting to use. I'm somehow getting the impression that this is meant t...
