## Description

Fountain pen from Japanese stationary manufacturer Platinum fountain pen, very fine but with very reasonable price, color fountain pens.

Review: Excellent pen for long writing sessions - This has the look of a lower end pen, but performs surprisingly well. In terms of how it writes, it’s a good example of the finer nibbed Japanese pens. The fun part is the cartridge that comes in the pen matches the color of the pen, so this one came with a purple cartridge. Now the cartridges are proprietary, so you will need to do one of three things: 1- Pick up more cartridges. desertcart has an amazing variety of them, including more of the purple. The two-packs are a bit pricey by cartridge standards, but the ten packs (sadly, no purple there) are about average. At the time of this writing both were the same price. Unfortunately, it looks like the 10 pack doesn’t come in purple. 2- Pick up a converter. desertcart carries that as well. Those are a little expensive out the gate (they cost more than the pen) but cheaper in the long run. And they give you a much wider variety of ink options. 3- Refill the cartridge using a pen syringe. Again, desertcart has that. I’d be careful to check the reviews and get one that doesn’t “stick” (Wikult is good). When in doubt, just refill in the sink so you won’t have a mess. This gives you all the advantages of the converter, but it’s cheaper and pulls in more ink. The downside is that injecting your pen looks a little like a little mad scientist. Aesthetics definitely take a back seat to functionality in this pen. You get the size of the nib printed right on the barrel. You can see the amount of ink left right through the barrel. It’s an extremely comfortable pen for a long writing or drawing session. This lays a great line. No skipping. No leaking. No problems. If you want to try the Japanese-style nibs, and don’t want to invest in an expensive pen to start, this is an excellent first pen. You’ll get the full experience of the nib at a tiny fraction of the cost.
Review: The best fountain pen at this price pt!!! - Obviously, for the price, it’s gonna look a certain way. While it’s certainly not expensive looking, I do find it aesthetically pleasing. More importantly, performance… no complaints. It’s extremely smooth & considering the fine tip, not really scratchy. However, I’m left handed & Idk if this is the reason but I find myself fidgeting w/ the angle to keep ink going. Speaking of ink, the best part is the beautiful ink color! Am pleased that cartridges r cheap & readily available. (Altho, I’m eyeing the highly rated platinum converter so I can get into crazy inks…)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly good fountain pens
*by A***F on December 23, 2025*

Don't let the price point fool you into thinking this is a cheap fountain pen. This is a very high quality pen with amazing design that has lasted through the years. Stock ink is great, and the pen cartridge can later be refilled with a syringe for custom colors. The nib is amazingly durable to survive being in a school setting where it's been dropped nib first a few times. Platinum's quality control is such that the nib writes amazingly smoothly right out of the box without requiring any tuning.
