PLATINUMFountain Pen Converter

I bought this to use with my Kuretake 50 sable brush pen to allow me to refill it from a bottle of Platinum Carbon ink. It fits it perfectly, works well and seems solidly made. However I do wish the major international brands of pen makers would copy most Chinese manufacturers and provide a free converter with their pens, or at least bundle one in with them at a reduced price. It seems ridiculous that one can often pay almost as much for a converter as the pen itself. Especially when we all wish to reduce single use plastic consumption. Excuse the rant but like many artists I use document or carbon inks which aren't available in cartridges - even if I wanted to use them - and get very cross at being forced to buy a brand specific converter that only fits one make of pen.

It's a bit tricky to fill it with the ink (without the syringe) but otherwise it works excellent with my favourite brush - Kuretake Sumi Brush Pen No8. I'd highly recommend this device!

Good quality converter for Platinum fountains pens, enabling you to use bottled ink instead of cartridges. Well made, with a transparent body and gold coloured trim, and a black twist action plunger. Works very well with no leaks, and thoroughly recommended

Works well but expensive

Put this into a Platinum Preppy fountain pen it fits perfectly ,holds the black Noodlers lubricating ink I’m using no problem looks really nice in gold think it’s a little pricey because the fountain pen it’s in was over two pounds cheaper than the converter .

Perfect for sucking up ink, and, putting it on a nib. Ensure it fits your pen. There's, even, a clever thing which adapts it to 'most' pens. Google to prevent whingeing. Adapter is really good value.

Works fine, but the twisting is quite stiff. Not as smooth as my LAMY converter.

Bought this with adaptor to use with nanoparticle Indian ink. So far writing well; fine nib writing just as wet as I like ! No evidence of leaking - a nice clean pen.

Love this. Seals solidly, draws up the ink great in my Preppy pen. Had trouble at first, ink seemed to run out, but there was plenty in there. Probably ink was having trouble flowing at first because of long time non-use and dried up ink. A good soaking seemed to fix it.

il ricambio ha riportato in vita la mia Paker a cui sono legatissimo!

Although it is costly but fits the pen very well. one time purchase. If cartridges were easily available for the pen, i would not have gone for converter at all.

Horrible servicio que me dieron, no lo recomiendo.

Stylo à plume extra-fine, très peu coûteux fonctionne parfaitement. Utile aussi bien aux écoliers qu’aux adultes qui souhaitent tracer des graphiques voire dessiner.Arrivé en parfait état, accompagné d’un petit mot du vendeur : Monsieur Ryu Fukuyama que je remercie à mon tour.Entière satisfaction de cette transaction,
