Platinum Plaisir at Scottsdale Pen

One of the surprise hits of the 2010 Christmas season here at Scottsdale Pen were the Platinum Plaisir fountain pens. At only $21 and in seven shiny colors, they were flying off the display and in rapid need of replenishment before we knew it.

So what's the big deal? Well, the folks at Platinum developed a new cap liner that dramatically reduces ink evaporation from the nib when the pen is capped. Experiments show that your Platinum Plaisir fountain pen will start up even after months of inactivity. How many times have you loaded a fountain pen, used it for a while, and then set it aside and forgotten about it? Usually, the pen will not start up again unless you either prime it with ink or dampen it with water. Platinum's new cap design all but eliminates this!
