Platinum Century 3776 Fountain Pen Nib & Line Comparison

[@barrylevitt1170]

I would like to see line comparisons between the Sailor 1911S, Pilot Custom 74 and Platinum 3776. THANK YOU for the informative video.

[@Yoseka]

Thanks for the suggestion Barry!

[@joop912]

Most helpful nib videos series. Thank you.

[@Yoseka]

Thank you so much for watching and for your motivating comment :) Hope to make more helpful videos next year!

[@fossilimprint2954]

You have THE BEST nib comparison video, thank you!

[@FountainPenNews]

I always love your videos. I know this was 2 years ago but I have found it so helpful that I've referred to it multiple times when I've been looking at various nibs. Thank you!!

[@Yoseka]

Aw thank you so much for your comment!!

[@thomascampanis]

The no pressure SF line looks similar to the EF or in between EF and F while the pressured line looks closer to a medium. I like the way Platinum did this. They give you a "soft range between EF and M in a way. Looking forward to trying it.

[@v60please90]

You create the best videos that are so informative and super helpful. I am making a trip to your shop if I am ever in Brooklyn!!! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into all of your line comparison videos! I have watched and rewatched your Pilot, Sailor and Platinum 3776 videos many times. They are all so helpful for narrowing down what I like in a pen 😊

[@Yoseka]

Thank youuuuu!!! You have no idea how much this means to us!!

[@drananth]

I love the details on the Platinum nib. I have a Century 3776 Bourgogne in UEF. It sips ink and writes endlessly so well even on zero pressure.

[@offline._archive]

Just ordered one last night.. so excited!!

[@drananth]

@@offline._archive Congrats. It's sturdy. The nib is very attractive. The pen on the whole is classic and timeless.

[@drananth]

@@DrManuelSardinha enjoy it! It will stay faithful to you.

[@drananth]

@@DrManuelSardinha wow, you got the UEF too? Join the club 😁 It writes really well. A cheap but smooth blue ink will be the original Pilot ink. It'll be a good daily writing ink. A more elegant but slightly expensive dark blue ink will the the Sailor Manyo ink.

[@aaron3890]

Thanks again for taking so much time to put these comparison videos together! These are extremely helpful and give people a good idea of the kind of writing experience for each pen.

[@ilananl1004]

Nice line comparisum. Maybe try with sakura pigma microns. They range from 003, 005, 01,02, 03, 04,05 al the way up to 1.5. But especially helpful to show the exact with in mm of the various fine nibs in japanese fountain pens. Thanks for the great video's!

[@kinguccio668]

I love these comparisons. Wonderful!

[@mrpilotsapien7705]

Wow thats just about the best demonstrator pen ive seen yet! Thanks gals!

[@alexvulpes]

Thanks for all, for your work and for your passion. Platinum's nib is amazing... like you :)

[@yuklimka7251]

I bought a 3776 with an SF nib last year. Initially it was too dry and toothy for my taste. After taking a break from the pen, I had it smoothed out a tad, flushed it thoroughly (the nib and feed are friction fit and come out easily), paired it with a Monteverde ink with ITF technology and will dedicate a month to breaking it in. I get on great with vintage models of this pen, so I'm not willing to give up.

[@strshooter7399]

Thank you for this insight into Platinum 3776 pens. I was enlightened to find out about the celluloid side of Platinum, how different they are made. Just never bothered to look into celluloid FPens. Very interesting 🤔 . Nib comparison was excellent. 😎👍

[@beritbunny]

This was awesome!!! Daisy did such an amazing job demoing; all the comparisons and impressions she shared in reference to every other brands were so interesting/useful!!!

[@geslinam9703]

I don’t care for the fine or extra fine nibs in these pens, as I find them to be just a little too fine for me….even the fine….something I thought I’d never say, because I used to prefer very fine nibs. The medium is probably my favorite 3776. I like the broad nib too.

[@strshooter7399]

I rewatched this video, delightful 😎👍🤠🤗

[@hamana2011]

Thank You for the great videos just watched the Pilot custom 74 amazing job

[@spiffy8600]

How did I not know you are in Brooklyn? I thought you guys were located on the West Coast. 🤦‍♀️ Can’t wait to visit your store one day! Much love to you and the team! ❤️

[@jlaurson]

Ah, the Celluloid *is* the most marvelous series of the 3776. So nice to the touch. Wild, how noticeably different it is from the various plastics/resins. Especially the Sakura, where you really can't see the seam.

[@jess.ann.]

Thank you for this video! Super helpful as I've been debating between a Fine and Medium. ✨

[@robertholden4586]

Wow guys haven’t you read that more than nine minuets is considered long for a video? Lmfaoooo jkjkjk love you guys another beautiful detailed and fun video! Hope you guys have had an amazing week and cannot wait to get my new kitta washi tape’s to play with!!! Yayyy ❤️❤️💕🧿

[@Yoseka]

😅 you know we love our in-depth videos hahaha

[@gianlucascattoni5346]

Stop ruining my life with this beautiful pens🤣! I just came down yesterday and bought a Pilot Custom 823 and I thought I would be done for a while. Now you got me thinking about the Platinum Century 3776 too! When will this stop?😓

[@Yoseka]

Hahah aww sorry Gianluca!! It was so great to see you yesterday though! Thanks for coming by :)

[@hivona]

I don’t think it does stop! For better or worse 😆

[@osbone0076]

Great video its clear and helps a lot thank you ❤

[@plannermumsy]

Super helpful video! Thank you so much for the effort of making this😊

[@WatchmanNiel]

I am writing in both the A6 and A5 Hononichi, so gravitating to the EUF for the A6 specifically, and also interested in the Sailor Slim EF and/or 21K F for A5 writing. Thanks for posting such great comparisons they really help! Would love to see your take on recommendations for writing in a Hobonichi and other small BuJo and task notebooks!

[@dashsunil]

That slip and seal intro. 😅 So, you listened to me and here is the video. Hands down, my fav nib design is #3776. 😁

[@Yoseka]

Yes!! Thank you for watching!

[@archdomster9446]

I love my uef nib. I have a light hand. The thing is to find the right ink that will be dark enough with that light hand and uef nib. I just ordered aurora black from jetpens to see if it’ll work :)

[@natmickan]

This was such a helpful overview; thankyou. I’d love to know how the Platinum nib sizes in the 14k gold compare to the steel nibs on the preppy/prefounte/plaisir. Some brands have completely different sizing for their gold vs steel and that drives me bonkers! (Worst time to find that out is when you finally drop the cash on your first gold nib, only to find it’s not the size you thought it would be) :S

[@Yoseka]

That's a good point Nat! Will add that onto our list of videos to make :)

[@natmickan]

@@Yoseka 😮 That would be AMAZING! Thankyou!

[@anguswhite8233]

Maybe it’s just the inks I’m using, but I always felt there wasn’t any noticeable difference in line width between my Platinum UEF and my Sailor/Pilot EF’s; thanks for this: think the nib I would love Platinum to make would be a soft extra fine!:)

[@DrinkWater713]

For the looks of it the SF is an extra fine that widens a bit. It looks finer than the F nib in the video.

[@ladyj9386]

How do the medium lines from Sailor 1911 and Platinum Century 3776 compare to Pilot Custom 74 medium lines?

[@MrsSurrealista]

Just what I needed!

[@nicksg3002]

Excellent🌟👑

[@TINGSTARR]

Pilot, Sailor or Platinum? Yes to all three!

[@fiachrahackett]

I have always thought one should only use wooden rulers with fountain pens, especially gold nibs with their softer metal against brass over time would damage and mark the nibs. Is this something I shouldn't be concerned with?

[@toniogt]

Fantastic video!! Thank you!!

[@Wet_Electronics]

Great video. Have you tried using the C like a Zoom at a bunch of different slopes? I have heard it's a lower cost option for artists.

[@Yoseka]

Have not but that is interesting, thank you for sharing that tip!

[@ciannacoleman5125]

Thank you so much for showing the comparison with Copic liners! I have been trying to figure out how the UEF would compare to the Micron 005 and you showed it is near the same. Has anyone tried the UEF on Bible paper? I love my FPs for normal writing but use microns in my Bible and am wondering if this could work as a replacement?

[@AnaGarcia-sf2xe]

Can we order the ultra extra fine nib from you guys? I only see the fine medium and broad as options?

[@Yoseka]

Hi Ana, yes, the Ultra Extra Fine is a nib option we do have but not in all the 3776 Century pens. It is only available in the standard bodies (such as the Bourgogne, Chartres Blue, Laurel Green, etc) but not in the Nice or Celluloid lineups. Hope that helps!

[@tea1762]

Thanks for this - very helpful! Would you say the 3776 F or Sailor F is finer? I'm trying to decide between the two, but while I've tried out the 3776 in person, I haven't had the chance to try out Sailors. I would prefer a line that is just slightly finer than the 3776 F. Your Sailor nib comparison video seems to be finer but it's hard to tell without it being side by side.

[@tea1762]

@@genaishivatov1737 I'm not sure what you mean. The 3776 is also 14k, is it not? Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment, as it sounds as though you're saying it's not a gold nib while the Sailors are. Since my question was simply about whether the 3776 or the Sailor PG F nib was finer in usage, I'm a little confused as to what you're trying to say.

[@luizz_k]

I'm sold already

[@arupian666]

Been looking at the 3776 for a while now, but too many Sailors to buy first, haha. It's gotta be rough being a US retailer for these brands. Can't imagine many people are paying US retail prices for these pens.

[@daniels87g]

Excellent demonstration, I love the UEF stroke and does anyone know of an alternative to this fountain pen?

[@Yoseka]

Steel nib alternative would be Pilot Kakuno EF or an Esterbrook with a Needlepoint Other gold nibs would be Pilot Posting on the Custom 743 or Custom 912 :)

[@Inazarab]

I'm curious what the selling differentiation is for Platinum vs. Pilot and Sailor. For me, Sailor has the most attractive pens, Pilot has great nibs, but what does Platinum offer? Their slip and seal mechanism is great, and I wish Sailor used it but other than slip and seal, what differentiates them? Why pick a platinum? And I mean purely their more expensive pens, not the preppy, Kakuno, etc.

[@Yoseka]

Hi there! There are some nib sizes such as the UEF and the Coarse that are harder to find on other pens in the US. Sailor also has beautiful celluloid pens that are popular and not readily available on Sailor and Pilot pens. The Platinum Music nib is also different from Sailor's Music nib and the Pilot Music nib is not available here in the US.

[@gundampharmacist7348]

I like the line comparison, but to me the EF line looks a bit bolder than the 0.1 mm line. Maybe something between it and .2?

[@youtuber-452]

Help me.. this or the pilot 74 custom (soft fine) i'm searching for ultra thin lines with semi flex that goes from 0.05 up to 0.5 mm (in a perfect world). This will give my drawings that hair thin lines and thick lines variation..😀

[@stricht8]

Pilot falcon SEF.

[@iMac9991]

y'all reading my mind I was just looking for something like this

[@vickicampbell2736]

do you carry Mont Blanc ?

[@archdomster9446]

I wish they would make cute and elegant colors for UEF. I wonder, has anyone tried swapping out nibs with the same model?

[@liselottefrejdig1112]

I have four, right now..

[@heinzrabelas9088]

where can i buy spare part of platinum 3776 i need the nib replacement

[@Yoseka]

Unfortunately spare Platinum nibs are not available. Your best bet might be to get an inexpensive one second hand to use for parts!

[@mrmf4712]

Its sad that you did not turn music nib at 45 degrees to show its true abilities (holding left nib corner lower that the right nib corner)

[@googleking5780]

I had very bad experience with platinum 3776 which I got 2 years ago, all the colors of the cover had started fading and very sensitive to get scratches. Except the file nib quality everything else is extremely poor quality!

[@genaishivatov1737]

Lady, I don't want to disappoint you - but gold nibs of 3776C are hand-finished. And therefore, the dimensions may differ slightly - about a dozen 3776C (EF/F) have passed through my hands.

[@brawndo1255]

3776 nibs are all i use anymore. it's like using a fountain pen that's as precise as a good mechanical pencil. i can't stand to use anything else.

[@zveryok1]

Ridiculous pens for the money. I've got a Lamy 2000 in EF that writes the same width as a medium Century 3776. Much, much pickier with how you hold it. Platinum writes just about at any angle with minor issues on the downstrokes outside of the pocket. Lamy becomes scratchy almost immediately outside of the pocket but is an absolute joy to use otherwise.

[@rinoreinz]

hello, nice videos, I just have to criticize you the sign you make instead of capital G in capital letters, you don't make a G in the western alphabet that way
