Platinum is one of the only makers that ships semi-permanent iron gall blue black ink with its pens as standard. That Blue Black ink cartridge is one of the more "famous" inks from Platinum, so if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to try out the ink. It's extremely well behaved with a lot of good shading. Platinum's dye-based inks are among the most well behaved anywhere, and their Classic Ink line of iron gall inks is even better than their standard dye-based inks.
I knew Platinum made awesome iron gall inks but I. Ever knew the included cartridge was one as well! Thanks!
I love my Platinum 3776 pens, the Chartres Blue was my first and I was hooked. It was my first gold nib pen too. They're really just great pens. Enjoy.
Thank you! I certainly will!
Coming from super smooth pens the fine Platinum Century can be startling; but the line is indeed very crisp.
@@senzen2692 yes it was! I did not appreciate it for what it was
I love mine and have multiple. The uef is my favourite. The nibs imo can be a little ‘hit and miss’- I’ve had to exchange a couple. Once you find a good one, to me, almost perfection.
The plastic of 3776 always felt a bit cheap to me, but the nibs are great and the price is much better than Sailor 1911L
I haven't tried any of the celluloid models, but those are expensive too!
I have four 3776
Two Bourgundy Red, SF and EF nib
One Chartres Blue, EF nib
One Nice Lavande, UEF nib
My next will be the Laurel Green, with musical nib
Yes, I'm a collector.. Best pen wishes.Liselotte in Sweden
What a great collection! Thanks for sharing!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan Thank you, but that's only my 3776s. I have several Preppys, Plaisirs and Procyons too. And that's just the Platinums.. I have Parker, Lamy, Cross etc. too..
3776 in Chartres Blue translucent body is my favorite pen. Looks gorgeous, and pleasant to write.
I have this pen in a medium :) and it's so smooth. I like that my medium does write like a lot of western mediums, but it can also write thinly like a Japanese medium. One of my favorites!
I tried the Plaisir with a Medium nib and loved it! The Fine was the only one available at the shop but now really happy with it! p.s. loved your most recent ink haul video!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan Thanks Karyna! I'm happy you liked that video xD I thought it would be an injustice to not share all the ink samples I hauled with the rest of the community to see and buy if they like :D but I really enjoyed making the video too. I love Japanese fine nibs, they are great for every day writing, so you can never go wrong with a good Fine nib :D
I just ordered this color in medium and I’m super excited to receive it! Especially after reading this ~ and watching this vid! Thanks!
@@ashenamber You will love it! :) what ink are you going to put in it?
@@KenchanKrafts Lennon Tool Bar Firmament ☺️
Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favourite pens in a broad nib.
I have just ordered this Exact same Pen but in a medium. So excited it will be my first Japanese. 😊👍
Hope you enjoy it!
How beautiful! I'm glad you like it. I just ordered the same pen in the same color but with a fine nib, but it hasn't arrived yet. Now I'm even more excited.
Hope you enjoy it!
I have 3376 limited edition with the Soft Fine nib. I have not experimented with many inks, mostly use Waterman Intense Black and have very nice results.
I recently purchased a platinum 3776 koi. It is my first platinum and I love it. It writes great and the koi pattern is beautiful. I am now a platinum 3776 fan.
Thanks for sharing!
I have the 3776 Century Sakura with medium nib. Very smooth when at proper rotation angle but digs a bit if rolled even a little bit. It has feedback on paper with tooth but is glass smooth on Claire Fountaine. My Namiki (m) is smoother overall but the Sakura is very enjoyable to write with. Those two are my default writers.
My inked pens I carry are Caran d’Ache Leman (B), Sailor PG (F), and Pelikan 600 Art Collection (M)
The Platinum and Namiki have Akkerman ink in them. Caran d’Ache has Pilot Ku-Jaku, Sailor has Sailor, and I’m still searching for best ink for Pelikan.
Thank you for sharing! Pelikan’s run wide and wet so I do use dryer inks that need a bit of help!
This is one of the next pens on my list. I won a Pilot 743 (M) and love how smooth and bouncy the nib is. I am a bit heavy handed though when I write. So I wish it was a fine nib. Sort of has me torn on this pen if I want the EF, F, or SF. Need to go hands on with them to figure it out I guess.
Yes! Need to try the nibs - really helps when deciding!
I have the exact same pen and I really love it! I was surprised because the nib is harder but I find it a very pleasant feel when I write with it. I would like to get a broad next for something different!!!
I would love to try a M nib in this pen - I've tried the Plaisir in a M nib and it is so smooth!
Platinum’s fine nib (not the soft fine) is one of my favourite nibs. The feedback provides me with an almost ASMR experience when I’m drawing.
It was something I needed to get used to. This is not a pen I have in my collection anymore, but I think I'd be open to it again in the future.
Thank you for a wonderful video. My magnificent nephew gifted me this identical pen just today for my birthday. It is just beautiful. I dearly love it. Great writer and perfectly designed pen. By the way, your nails are exquisite. They are perfectly shaped and they have a gorgeous sheen to them. My compliments. You are so very elegant and sophisticated.
I recently bought the same color in a broad and a medium in shape of heart both are amazingly smooth !
Very nice!
Great review 😀 you answered all my questions. I’ll put the 3776 on my list. 😊
I have a broad and plan to get a coarse nib, too! Love it 😊
Pure piece of art ❤😢
Oooh, pretty! My partner loves the 3776, has several. I have one, as well and love it. Also: Not that I needed any more pens, but... y'know. Go an Esterbrook Jr. a few weeks ago and it's lovely!
That is awesome!
I do own a 3776 higo zogan in M and it performs well after 8 years or so. I had to buy a converter separately.
After eight years! Wow!
I have the white version of this pen with a fine nib. It writes well but I got off to a little bit of a rough start. I've been using Platinum cartridges since the beginning and it took a very long time for the ink to get through the feed the first time. I tried flushing the nib with water and squeezing the cartridge after it was installed but it took longer than any other pen I own to begin writing.
Oh no! That does sound like a rough start. I assume all is well now?
@@KarynaLovesToPlan No problems since the beginning. The slip & seal feature has kept the nib from ever drying out. Now that the ink is flowing I'm going to stay with the same color of ink in the Platinum cartridges.
Thanks for this helpful review! Good camerawork showing the details of the pen. Maybe include a close-up of the writing sample next time? :)
Impressive dry out time! Thanks for posting this!
how fun.. I love pen reviews..!!
I just got my first fountain pen a couple of days ago, and I'm already looking to buy another! Got hooked after the first sentance I wrote! Been looking at a lot of pens, and this is one of the ones I am considering buying, but ideally I'd want something either more modern and sleek looking, or the complete opposite with something very traditional like the 3776 with Maki-e designs (but they cost double the amount of the regular 3776, so not sure if it's worth it for me). Any ideas?
Edit: Also wanted to say that the heart in the nib is one of the main things that makes me want this lol. It's so cute!
It really depends what is worth spending money on. If you love the 3776 and the way it writes, and you think investing in the Maki-e is worth it, go for it! But the writing experience won’t be that much different to the regular 3776. Good luck choosing!
I have 4 of these, probably the pens I use the most. The basic ones, made of plastic, are a little less nice than the higher end models…the plastic gets duller with little micro scratches….but they all have great nibs. I don’t care for the fine nib, though, mine is just too fine and dry. Medium and broad are perfect.
I have tried a Medium nib on a Plaisir and it is beautifully smooth!
I bought mine two months ago and finally inked it up this week 😂 I have it in a coarse nib … I also feel the toothiness but think I need to spend more time with it
It definitely is different from Pilot and Sailor, and I feel like I can better appreciate how different it is now.
Your new pen is beautiful; I think the green color is so pretty! I can't remember...do you have anything by Esterbrook? I'm really curious about them and would like to hear what an owner has to say.
I don’t have any Esterbrook Estie pens. It is on my list for this year!
I have one with a UEF nib - love it
Ooh how fine does that write?
@@KarynaLovesToPlan really really fine - I always put bold coloured inks in it
Pen Twins. Yay! Mine is medium though.
My first choice was a medium but they only had Fine. But it is a fantastic fine nib!
It’s not a pen. It’s a friend. 🥰
Adding to my wish list.
A good gold nib pen to have!
I have the same pen but EF. It's kind of a problem to find any ink in my country, and it's scratchy so i don't really like it, wrong choice i guess
Definitely need a wetter ink with it, for sure!
A Platinum 'fine' nib performs like a 'medium'.
Thanks!
Hi karyna, thinking of getting this pen with a fine.
How does the feedback compare against the sailor?
I have a coarse and it feels like the nib has resistance against the page when writing while the sailor has more audible feedback and lesser feedback/resistance compared to the platinum
The Platinum nib is stiffer than the Sailor nib. The Fine is finer than the Medium Fine on the sailor.
I heard your friend was really excited about it
😂 she chose the colour for me!
Do you like better the new Platinum pen, or the Sailor Pro Gear pen?
I prefer my Sailor Pro Gear in size and nib size. Platinum was too hard of a nib for me.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan Thank you so much for the reply. I was also leaning toward Sailor Pro Gear, and now after your reply I am certain 😊❤️
I am still considering this pen in the red color. Are you still liking it?
I actually ended up selling this pen because I didn't end up loving the nib. Funny enough, I now have a Needlepoint which may be finer than this but I love the Needlepoint more!
I just added both the green and blue to my want list.
Good choices!
great pen... but not for your hands.
