It really is too bad that Platinum cannot find a better method for coating their nibs, preferably one that does not involve "designing them to fail," so to speak, at least insofar as the appearances are concerned.

The coating seemed to soften when in contact with ink. As the coating softened the nib creep got worse, which softened the coating more. Eventually I peeled most of it off the top and now there is no nib creep. I emailed someone at Platinum saying that I was worried that pieces of the coating would clog the nib and they responded that the coating would dissolve in the ink. Which would also explain why it peeled in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
