Platinum 3776 Ultra Extra Fine (UEF) - Fountain Pen Comparison and Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 07. 2024
- The platinum 3776 is the flagship pen made by the Japanese pen and ink company, 'Platinum'.
They also produce the cheap and cheerful sketchers' favourite 'platinum preppy' and the brilliant carbon black ink that I love to use in my pens.
Today we're reviewing this pen, named for the heigh of Mt Fuji - but we'll see if it's really worth the hype.
In particular, how does the UEF nib compare when pitched against different nibs?
All these tests are completed in my Etchr A5 watercolour sketchbook.

I, too, had been looking for an ever finer nib as I tend to write small and on cheap paper (at work) so I gave one of these a try. For myself, I found it wrote too dry (despite various ink trials) and too scratchy. While I'm not a nibmeister, I have worked on my own nibs before so I undertook to increase the flow and smooth it a bit -- and honestly went overboard and now have a slightly scratchy (improved) F-M nib. Rats!
Haha that's unfortunate!! I'm finding it ok, sometimes too fine, not too dry for me though
Good practical and objective review Toby.
Part of the pleasure of art, for me, is using beautiful, well made, tactile tools, and pens are probably at the top of that list. The more expensive pens certainty don't improve my sketching though 😂.
Haha me neither to be honest
Thank you for this.
My pleasure!
I have a Pilot Falcon pen that I use for drawing. Previously I have left the pen inked with Platinum carbon unused for almost a year (because I was focused on drawing digitally), it didn't dried out at all when I use it again. Didn't know it was because of the screw cap. I previously thought screw cap is just for extra security feature to not accidentally have pen uncapped.
Yes, screw caps for the win gaha
Excellent demonstration, I love the UEF stroke and does anyone know of an alternative to this fountain pen?
I don't personally have experience with alternatives, though I'm sure ther are some.
That was a very good comparison. Now I do love my Lamy Joy 1.1mm. But just for fun I got a Hongdian Black Carbon Fiber Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib.
Does it lay down thick ink....no. But it is an excellent sketching pen. I use Noodlers Bullet Proof Black Ink as I do in all of my black pens. I love the pen and it's very affordable.
Great tip, thank you!
Very nice. I would have compared the line size to a Pilot Kakuno which is a real Extra fine & it’s Asian plus it’s cheap enough for line comparisons. If yours is thinner, it’s definitely Ultra Fine.
Western made nibs (aside from Kaweco) aren’t going to be anywhere close for comparison. I’d like to give that one a go tho’ just for the smooth reverse hatching … a bit costly tho’.
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for sharing!
Lovely pen and a pleasure to own, but a little too dear for my skill level and pocket. I’ll stick with the Lamy and Sailor Fude. I do enjoy these reviews though ,thank you.
LAMY is not worse than this, just different
Oh, my! The Platinum 3776 Ultra Extra Fine is a little trop cher pour moi. But good review.
I sweated as I paid for it !
lamy's ef nib is like a medium rly
You can source a chart of different nibs - EF is similar in LAMY to many other brands - 0.3-0.4mm I believe - even the UEF is only a 0.2-0.3
First!
Wow 😮 hehe
