The Platinum Plaisir fountain pen features a cap which prevents ink from drying, enabling smooth writing even after no use for a whole year. The outside body is made of aluminum and has a superior shiny finish due to its special anodized coating. This fountain pen has a pastel light blue barrel and cap, silver trim, a stainless steel nib, and accepts proprietary Platinum cartridges (one is included) or a Platinum converter (sold separately).

Perfect for Noodler's Blue Eel

Been using Noodler's Azure in my blue Plaisir since before it was just Noodler's Azure. When I recently got Noodler's Blue Eel to help me rejuvenate a piston filler - I discovered a great new color, so I needed another Plaisir. The frosty blue is a good color cue for what's inside the pen.

smooth pen

I love the Platinum Plaisir with waterproof carbon ink for drawing- it is smooth, almost slippery, and the waterproof ink is great for using with watercolor.

Nice Entry Level Pen

This was one of the first pens I bought when I wanted to get into fountain pens. Light weight - and attractive.

Excellent value

I'm really enjoying this pen and considering buying it in more colors. Being a Platinum, it writes very smoothly and feels great. It's a step up from the trusty Preppy. My husband feel in love with it too and wants to buy some for him.

Smooth writing

I usually buy medium-nib pens but, because of the beautiful color of this pen, I bought a fine nib and have not regretted it. It writes smoothly and has not disappointed. And of course the color is beautiful. :-)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this fountain pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Platinum ink cartridges, which are available in a few colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
