A Little Platinum Nib Love

[Kugelschreiber]

I've had Pigment Rose in a Preppy for months. With very infrequent use, it has had no problems and starts up instantly. Impressive product to be sure.

 

That's interesting info; thanks.

Ok i stand corrected its only available in black in black is only available in sf...

 

Oh well, never mind. *sobs quietly in a corner* Hopefully Platinum will amend this state of affairs in the future, otherwise I'm going to have to seriously consider defecting to Pilot.

 

And now my interest is renewed in the pigment inks, thanks to this thread. D'oh. Already use and love Carbon Black, but the colours don't seem to get much mention amongst general FPN chatter, which is generally my guide as to whether an ink is worth seriously looking into.

Apropos of your comment, I started a thread at Inky Thoughts about Platinum Pigment Ink. Perhaps others will share experiences that will help with your decision.

Ah, the friendly shove in the shoulder blades to send me careening down another slope. Thanks! I think...

Just practicing my enabler skills. You don't mind, do you?

Maybe not, but if I ever try a Platinum again, I am going to akm at a President model or maybe at some higher end pen, one of these with this sleek and longer grip.

 

My delicious Platinum nib is now happily married to an Italien piston filler, Marlen Aleph. This is a h*** of a pen...
