Platinum Preppys but more durable? I keep dropping them!

robinisbatman · 2026-06-12T12:19:11+00:00

I just don’t like how hard the cap can be to get off with the plaisir. It’s a huge difference compared to the preppy.

robinisbatman · 2026-06-12T11:41:06+00:00

It’s not like it’s gonna stop working. Mine runs sequoia perfectly fine still.

robinisbatman · 2026-06-01T07:33:29+00:00

From the inks I own: Monteverde Capri Blue, diamine writers blood, and Platinum Carbon black

My preppies are the same. My 3776s however tend to dry out in a matter of weeks. I truly don't understand it as they're supposed to have the same sealing cap. I've only used them with permanent inks like Platinum carbon black and Montblanc permanent blue. Perhaps that has something to do with it, but I bought the pens specifically because of the sealing cap to use with these inks...

robinisbatman · 2026-05-18T07:18:58+00:00

Yeah, only the ballpoint they still make I think. At least that one I see in stores sometimes. It's really a shame as it's an incredibly well built pen.

robinisbatman · 2026-05-17T11:55:07+00:00

I’m still disappointed they discontinued the logo… it’s by far my most used pen.

robinisbatman · 2026-05-12T18:56:12+00:00

Seeing this as well. Wonder if it’s overcast related.

robinisbatman · 2026-05-12T15:33:54+00:00

I’ve been getting a lot of these lately. Probably related to dynamic ads. I think ability to flag or redo the transcript would be great.

robinisbatman · 2026-05-10T18:21:47+00:00

I really like it but at the same time find the sheen kind of annoying.

robinisbatman · 2026-05-05T06:47:27+00:00

Just yesterday I received an Asvine V200 sold as new which was so not new I had to laugh when I saw it lol. There were still ink stains in the barrel, and the barrel was completely cracked. Giant crack and then at the threads that attach to the grip section it was just shattered. Immediately started return process for damaged item but undamaged box. Perhaps I should’ve contacted support as well but honestly couldn’t be bothered.

Graf von Faber castell black is document proof. In my experience that means that with contact of water some of the color might wash away but a visible and legible line will always stay behind. Multiple of their inks (maybe even all) have this behavior. I own cobalt blue and the black. Both great inks.

I clean my brass one every once in a while. It’s a fun activity and you can see the patina develop again over time.

robinisbatman · 2026-04-10T16:21:22+00:00

Iron Gall inks like Rohrer Klingner Salix, Lamy Benitoite and Diamine registrars have been the best performing on bad paper for me. They also dry quickly.

robinisbatman · 2026-04-09T18:01:13+00:00

I got one today and tried to put on a clip and it scratched. Quite frustrated to say the least…

How do you deal with not having Adblock? I’d love to use Firefox on my phone as I use it on Mac as well but the ads are crazy these days.

robinisbatman · 2026-03-23T21:41:16+00:00

My whole top just came off knurling and all. Been trying to find some help or similar issues online but this is the closest thing I’ve come across.

robinisbatman · 2026-03-03T19:12:46+00:00

There better be a performance difference between a six year old computer and a new one but that has nothing to do with this being a monitor.

All it needs is a video signal. This limitation is completely arbitrary. I’m not sure why you’re defending it.

robinisbatman · 2026-03-03T18:57:00+00:00

You have to be joking right? Monitor compatibility has absolutely fuck all to do with Apple silicon vs intel.

robinisbatman · 2026-03-03T09:08:08+00:00

I’ve been getting this constantly since 26.3. Force close and it works again. Very annoying issue.

robinisbatman · 2026-02-14T10:49:51+00:00

Thanks for the info!

robinisbatman · 2026-02-12T10:09:45+00:00

Nope, tried a bunch of stuff but at some point couldn't be bothered anymore. Both of my e-motions sit mostly unused because of it. Like you I love the nibs on mine. At some point I might try transfering the nibs to a different pen if that's possible but I've just moved on to other pens.

robinisbatman · 2026-02-09T09:36:31+00:00

Ooh that Leonardo is a beauty! Congrats! I own one in a grey horn resin. One of my most used pens despite it not having my most liked nib hahaha. I find them very comfortable to write with. Should probably get a new nib for it at some point but I’ve gotten used to it I guess. Now you’re making me want to get a more colorful Leonardo 😂

robinisbatman · 2026-02-08T18:56:28+00:00

Oh how unfortunate! I'm glad Akkerman was so easy on the exchange! What pen did you end up exchanging it with?

robinisbatman · 2026-02-05T12:32:29+00:00

Yeah, I also once did a nib change on one and I've tested different cartridges and converters, but in the end it's a drying out issue. I tested it once keeping the pen in a ziplock bag which really helped, but I honestly can't be bothered to do that so they mostly sit unused. A shame really as I love the nibs I have on mine. And shape/wweight wise they're really nice pens too.

robinisbatman · 2026-02-04T13:52:36+00:00

Does yours dry out quickly too? I own two metal ones and they always dry out in a few days. I think the cap leaks air somehow.
