Platinum President Fountain Pens Reviews

Nice looking pen and the c nib(double broad) is very smooth. Just wish it was a piston pen instead of a converter but that’s just a personal preference.

The pen is fantastic. The “President” nib looks small on the pen but it writes beautifully. Softer and less feedback than a 3776 nib. I could use this pen every day! The capped weight and balance is perfect.

This model Platinum may be my most favorite pen currently in use. It has a 18K President Medium nib that writes like a Western Fine - and it just is lovely in my hand (woman's Medium). I would love to have more of this nib style it's so good! It's also lovely to look at, and is quite light, which I prefer. For the price, one of the very best pens I have ever used, straight out of the box, which is fantastic!

This was my first major top tier pen purchase and I have to say now I understand the hoopla around Japanese Top Tier fountain pens. This pen is simple but beautiful and what a writer. No flaw issues, no hard starts. It just writes and makes you want to write endlessly with this pen.

Platinum is a superb manufacturer.

The President has my brother reliving his childhood of essays written in living ink by hand; perhaps with more ink stained fingers than now.

Quality, perfection and timeless style ... Platinum President

I love my Platinum President pen. The medium is still and fine (just as I expected) and smooth with just a hint of feedback. I believe the pen is well made and a reasonable value. It does not have the slip and seal function of the 3776 but I do enjoy the pen and still use it daily

I have the burgundy President with a broad nib, which is a well made classic style fountain pen. The converter works great and the broad nib is smooth and consistent with perfect flow, although it's probably more comparable to a European medium. It posts securely and that's how I use it, although that isn't really necessary. This has turned out to be my favorite out of all of my Japanese brand pens. Highly recommended by me.

I have used this burgundy Platinum President with a medium nib that writes like an American fine as is typical with Japanese fountain pens. That is exactly what I wanted. This pen has a beautiful nib that writes without tooth. (I love tooth, but sometimes a different feel of nib to paper is just as enjoyable for me.) I don't know how to describe the nib's feel when writing, but I love it. It's different in a subtle way that I can't describe, it just is for me. It's a rigid nib; however, I think I see a little line variation, just a little bit, and enough that it is interesting to me. I waited to write this review because I wanted to try different papers and different inks in this pen. The President has handled everything so well. I've constantly used it because I want to keep writing with it, again and again and again. And then some more. The nib seemed to break in and feel smoother and wetter after a few days of writing with it. The plastic barrel and cap don't feel or look cheap to me. I have small hands, but I've written long letters without experiencing fatigue or discomfort because of the President's size. I have another Platinum, a 3776 Century Sai whose medium (like an American fine) nib has lovely tooth. These pens' nibs, to me, are not at all the same. I love them both and enjoy their different qualities. I waited a long time to save up to get a President. I feel so fortunate to finally have one.

While comfortable to hold and pleasant to they eyes, the nib is not quite as smooth as I would like. Flipping the pen upside down and writing is slightly awkward to operate the ink flow. (Yes I know, it's not meant to be used upside down, just something I judge a pen against.) I like the piston refill; very easy to fill.

Wanted to purchase a fountain pen that had a gold nib but didn't want to spend too much. After watching a review from pen chalet i learned about this Japanese made pen and loved the look so i gave it a try after receiving a coupon code. This pen is well constructed and writes great. I just ordered another Japanese made pen by pilot with a bigger ink capacity hopefully i will get the same level of quality. Pen chalet is great they have great prices, great customer service and reward you with gifts and discounts why go anywhere else ??
