Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Slip and Seal mechanism work?

The patented inner spring-loaded cap creates an airtight seal around the nib and feed when capped, preventing ink from drying out for over 12 months between uses.

Does the pen come with an ink converter?

The pen includes one Platinum blue-black ink cartridge; a Platinum proprietary fountain pen converter can be purchased separately for bottled ink use.

What is special about the Procyon ink filling system?

The feed features a lowered intake hole that requires submerging only the tip of the nib up to the breather hole, making it easier to draw the last drops of ink from ink bottles without dipping the entire section.

Is the pen body heavy?

No, the body is precision-machined from lightweight aluminum, providing a comfortable, balanced weight that feels substantial without causing fatigue during extended writing.

Which ink cartridges are compatible with this pen?

The Platinum Procyon accepts proprietary Platinum fountain pen cartridges or standard international cartridges when used with a Platinum cartridge adapter.
