Platinum
There are very few companies that can claim to have specialised in fountain pens from the very start of their existence: Platinum Pens is one! Since its establishment in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata, the business has been devoted to creating fountain pens that lead the way in technological innovation. From the iconic 1945 "A type" fountain pen through to a pioneering nib feeder which enabled ink to flow effortlessly for the duration of writing, Platinum Pens have a distinguished history of advancing and refining pen technology.
Technically advanced, specialist pens
Options such as the Platinum #3776 Century Fountain Pen - Chartres Blue or the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen - 03 Fine Nib are beautiful pens that have a lot to offer technically. The #3776, for example, features a stunning design that elevates it well above workhorse status. In addition to this, high-grade technical attributes (including a high-tech solution to the perennial problem of nib drying over time), ensures this pen provides a five-star writing experience.
Ring the changes with bottled inks
An economical option for fountain pens, bottled inks also allow flexibly colour changes. With a long shelf life, coloured ink has the added advantage of being suitable for a number of different pens (whereas cartridges are often confined to one design or brand). Modern fountain pens are surprisingly quick, easy and clean to fill, so there's no reason not to make bottled ink part of your writing supplies.
Add comfort to your writing
The slight flexibility which a well-made nib provides adds considerable comfort to the user. Particularly if you intend to do large amounts of handwriting, or prefer a nib with "give", a fountain pen is an excellent option.
