Platinum is one of the three major stationery manufacturers in Japan, along with Baile and Shuraku, but after removing the high-end sub-brand Nakaya, compared with the long knife research of Shuraku and the special-shaped nib of Baile, platinum products are not enough and can only be ranked second. Platinum's main products include fountain pens, ballpoint pens and activity pencils, with an annual production capacity of 20 million pieces. In 1974, Taiwan Platinum Fountain Pen Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Platinum and Taiwan, is currently the largest pen company in Taiwan, accounting for half of Taiwan's pen market. In 1982 and 1994, platinum established factories and sales companies in Shenzhen and Shanghai respectively, and the Chinese market within 100 yuan of platinum pens is mostly produced in China, and the mid-to-high-end line is still produced by Japanese companies.
 
The platinum fountain pen has two major features, the first is the anti-drying inner cover, under the premise of tightening the cap, the pen can still be placed for a long time to produce water. The second is to increase the ultra-fine tip UEF and soft fine tip SF on the basis of the thickness of the conventional nib, which just reconciles the relatively bold water of platinum, which greatly enhances the practicality of the platinum fountain pen.
 
Like Montblanc's Meisterstück series and Pelikan's Imperial series, Platinum's 3776 series is also a typical flagship that has traveled all over the world. Although the silver and unsullied forged gold series and the Izumo series support the façade, and the Preppy series, balance series, and Procyon series carry the sales, the 3776 series is still the absolute king of white gold. Named after the 3,776-meter elevation of Mt. Fuji, it was developed in 1978 by Japanese writer Haruo Umeda and the Shirokane team. In 2009, Platinum modified the mold of 3776 and launched two new products, Motosu and Century, but the market performance of Motosu is not as good as Century, and now when it comes to 3776, it basically refers to the 3776th century.
 
The 3776th Century series has an enamel texture under ordinary brightness, but when the brightness is sufficient, it can be seen that it is a transparent rod, and the basic model PNB-10000 has the highest appearance in church blue. There are also advanced versions of maki-e, imitation celluloid, rare wood and other advanced versions in the same series, maki-e and parallel wood are difficult to compare, but imitation celluloid has both appearance and practicality, the price of more than 2000 yuan is still worth considering, and the red koi is the most respected among the five colors. Because of the solid materials, the gold tips of the 3776th century series are harder than other gold tips, and the strong damping feeling is worse than that of the writing music, if you can't feel pleasure listening to the rustle of the writing music 21K, you can start with the 3776th century.
 
If you don't want to buy the kind of Maki pen that needs to be supplied, you can also buy the 18K gold-tipped Meiqiao series, which only uses the simplest flat Maki-e technique, but it also reflects the artistic sense that Maki-e should have, and there are a variety of patterns to choose from, the price is not more than 1,000 yuan, it is already the cheapest Maki-e pen, the pen shape is slim, and it can be given to female friends.
