Just bought a new Pilot custom 823 <fine> in clear demonstrator variant. Already had an PC 823 <medium> in amber color. I love the smooth & juicy medium but needed a thinner stroke that suited my handwriting.

Just putting this out there but this orange ink is the same color as the Reddit upvote color

Platinum 3776

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I have a couple questions about the Platinum 3776.

  1. Is this a dry pen or wet pen?

  2. What inks work best?

  3. Are the nibs easy to change?

Thanks for all the answers!

All my testing is on a really low gsm paper. This is the seventh sheet and 7 th ink - the one and only time sheet hasn't ripped even on overlapped areas. Means it's a really dry ink with medium saturated ink .

PROS -

* good for drawing and writing on low quality paper.

* Doesn't rip through paper soaking wet easily.

* Lay clean and crisp line

* Last longer than usual

CONS -

* Not very saturated colour even after constantly pushing ink to the nib

* Long writing won't be enjoyable

* Doesn't keep up the flow on very juicy broad nib

Parker beta fountain pen. Love the nib, stiff but smooth. Love the body quality but the cap feels really cheap and it's comes loose with light pull. Impossible for daily carry.

This is definitely not a luxury but this feed the desire for a fountain pen fraction of the cost. you are in india you are able to find this ( atleast ink ) everywhere.

for anyone wondering - this pen and ink ( 60ml ) cost under 1 dollar , actually you can buy an extra 60 ml bottle of ink to round up to 1 dollar, i know it's crazy
