Which Platinum Pens Have The Slip And Seal Cap?

[astronautcowboy]

Is it only the 3776 Century models, or do they have it in any lower-end models?

 

I have a very dry ink and I am looking for the right pen for it.

 

Thank you!

I think the slip and seal is only in the century I'm not sure where's that headed though if you look at the Nice and the past LEs like the Sai ans Shoji you see they are quite the same

The slip and seal is specific to the 3776 Century, but I can attest that the Preppy, Balance and Kanazawa Maki-e all seal very well. I've had all of them write immediately without skipping or other problems after one to three months capped disuse. (Hey, we were moving across country, with most everything in storage until we finished an addition and had room to get the pens out of durance vile.)

 

I have no idea how long the 3776 Century might be able to rest unused and then immediately pick up again; I don't want to be without any of the three I've got long enough to verify the advertising.

The Preppy and the Plaisir have similar contraptions in the cap and they work very well. Regarding dry ink, I have two Preppy's loaded with R&K Salix and Pelikan blueblack in my jacket, I can leave those alone for weeks and they always start immediately when needed

Perhaps I'll try a Plaisir; not sure if I am ready for the "big one" yet.

 

The ink I have usually dries up in about a day. This has happened in multiple pens.
