Platinum Curidas Fountain Pen - Crystal Prism Medium
The Platinum Curidas offers all the convenience of a click ballpoint pen but with the smooth writing experience of a fountain pen! In the rapidly changing world around us today, speed is becoming more important in business. With the new Platinum Curidas retractable fountain pen, there is a great writing tool available to use immediately without the need of removing a cap. The nib retracts and when closed, a high sealed nib pocket made of soft material enhances airtightness. The well-designed clip is not obstructive to the hand, and can also be removed. The transparent resin also allows to see the inner mechanism of the pen. The Platinum Curidas fountain pen has a stainless steel nib and uses the Platinum ink cartridges, but with the special Ink Cartridge Adapter it is also possible to use the Standard International ink cartridges. In 1919, Shunichi Nakata, started his fountain pen business that would later be known as “Platinum Fountain Pen Co.”. The Japanese brand is closely related to the legendary Nakaya fountain pen brand, where some of the finest fountain pens in the world are created. This expertise also goes into Platinum's own line of fine writing instruments.

Extra find the same thickness as 0.2 plat preppy nib. Pilot and sailor extra fine is thinner. But over all. Good buy. Original yung item at nagsesend si seller ng picture before shipping out.

When the Curidas first came out, I didn’t like the look of it, and thought I’d see if an opaque one came out. When that happened, I got one with a medium nib, having not loved previous Platinum fine nibs.In the mean time, I got very into Sailor pens and became a feedback snob. I also have a 3776 with a soft fine nib that was on rest after an ink mold incident. I pulled it out recently after months of non use and it wrote instantly. I was looking through my pens, and pulled out that Curidas. It also wrote instantly. But the Medium nib just wasn’t satisfying.

To my surprise, I liked the look better, too. It has a fun sci-fi set prop feel to it, and all the chrome in the guts looks really good through the clear plastic.It writes delightfully, more forgiving than other platinum nibs I’ve used, and has a surprising amount of bounce for a steel nib (as did the medium). The Platinum converter is simply the best converter out there, easy to maintain and works flawlessly every time.And of course, as a retractable, and is so much more convenient.It has its quirks. It has that odd clip set up, the enormous knock at the back, and disassembly is a little involved.But It’s become my daily workhorse. I was ready to be disappointed, and was instead completely captured. This is the retractable to beat. My VP has gone into rest mode.

I have been using this pen for nearly a month now and have nothing but praises for it. Buttery smooth nib and complimentary polished aesthetics. I recommend the Prism Crystal variant because you can see the mechanics and inner-workings of the pen clearly so you can really appreciate the engineering behind it. Not to many fountain pens like these. The only two things to watch out for are not filling it too much because it tends to burp when you retract it too fast when it is too full, so leave a small bubble in the converter. The other thing to consider is that the ink can wane (not dry) when writing quickly, maybe it has to do with the feed. I would recommend boutique inks in this pen because they tend to go down wetter.

I write with F, EF I have one in each now ( one from Goulet ( green) i bought last fall- and another i bought from another company). I like to fill out small forms and use for 'tiny writing'. This pen is amazing. The flow with EF/F are dependent and wet, the line is precise, no skipping.One tiny tiny thing.. these are hard to find!I waited for more than a month to purchase get my second one. Sadly then it was defective one- (one post on the inner slot was made wrong)Sadly Goulet pens failed me.Covid was really spiking in my county and i didnt want to go into a postoffice.

I never got store credit. I never got a physical postage paid label- i had to go to the post office.. wait in line behind one person who took 20 minutes whilst a line of ten people and many people coming in the small no fresh air lobby, coughing, violating my six feet and many unmasked ( Montana is one of thise states the new governor recended the mask mandate) frightening. I am traumatized about the ' can't be bothered' rough customer service.
I see a lot of comments about the superiority of Pilot's VP. I'm not here to argue but a most important part of any pen is its nib and I like this one a lot. I use both sides - i.e. if the paper is poorer quality, I use the nib's inner side - both write really well and the latter even has a touch of an italic nib. For me this is a great pen.
I loved this pen until I tried to refill it. I’m fairly experienced with fountain pens and had no problems filling this pen a few times. There are several twist and push steps to get to the cartridge. This time things fell out and I couldn’t get it back right. Even managed to bend The main spring
For the past weeks I have been using this pen exclusively, no other pen. Smooth writer. Wet. I like this pen. I have noticed after maybe half hour that the pen seems to pick up fibers from the paper. In that circumstance, fibers and dried ink on the top side of the nib. Note that the paper is not friendly (checks, payment voucher, ledger), So, We shall see if this only problem makes me hate the pen. And, I have also used this pen on FP friendly paper - Note pads and appointment booklet - Here the pen is a marvel. I have collected many VP's - I'm a fanatic for push-button fountain pens. (Not a fan of the Lamy retractable pen - no button).
I really like the design, but the medium one I received had frustrating hard starts and skips with fast writing. I should have taken advantage of Goulet's excellent service and sent it back; however, it initially looked like the front of the tines were too tight, so I used their brass shim. Then maybe it was the baby's bottom, so I polished that out (too late to send it back now). So after more aggressive adjustment I've got it working with a really wet ink, but it still needs an occasional first stroke warm up to get going. (I like the pen design so well I really kept working with it.) Lesson learned. Don't let this one-off experience put you off this nice pen, Goulet is great at taking care of you, if you get a problem pen and are smart enough get ahold of them ...

I love this fountain pen with reservations. It is a little over priced for the issues i experienced. It writes well. I use it daily. If it is not in use, then the nib will dry out within two days but the ink in the cartridge remains fluid. I just moisten the nib and it returns to a normal ink flow with minimal effort. However, it is my second one of the same kind in a different color. I experienced a trial and error period with the first one. Sadly, the nib housing kept popping off. I took a chance and Gorilla glued it. The nib housing no longer pops off. I now have the perfect push button fountain pen. I do recommend it for daily use.
I have other Platinum pens, and enjoy all of them, I also have other retractables, and enjoy them. This combines the best of both worlds, although it still does have some of the drawbacks of retractables. I got the fine nib, and it is very fine indeed, but writes quite smoothly. It's a bit of a pain to refill, you more or less have to deconstruct the pen in order to change the cartridge or refill the converter, but that's about standard to retractables, and the converter's not small, so it lasts a while. I like that Platinum included a means to remove the clip, but even without that, my fingers still get a little annoyed by all the ridges and nobs near the nib. Still, it's not too bad, so I'll get over it. Overall, it's a quality pen, well-constructed and convenient ...
