help Platinum Plaisir FAQ

Can you use standard international ink cartridges with the Platinum Plaisir fountain pen?

No, the Platinum Plaisir uses proprietary Platinum ink cartridges, and one blue-black cartridge is usually included in the box. It can also accept a Platinum brand converter, such as the CN-5, if you prefer to bottle-fill your ink.

What is the difference between the fine and medium nibs on the Platinum Plaisir?

The fine nib on the Plaisir writes a very thin, precise line that is excellent for small handwriting, which is typical of Japanese pen manufacturers. The medium nib lays down a slightly wetter, broader line, making it a better choice for faster writing or larger signatures.

Does the Platinum Plaisir feature a snap cap or a screw-on cap?

The Platinum Plaisir features a slip-and-seal snap cap mechanism. This design includes an inner cap that prevents the ink from drying out, allowing the pen to sit unused for up to a year and still write immediately.

What material is the Platinum Plaisir barrel made of?

The barrel and cap of the Plaisir are made of lightweight aluminum with a hard anodized finish. This gives the pen a durable, scratch-resistant surface and a premium feel that mimics the build quality of much more expensive metal pens.
