I love my Plumix. I put PR Blue Suede in it and it makes me happy.

Let there be light. Then let there be a cat, a cocktail, and a good book.

I just bought another one of these at the local Target store for about $6.50. Too bad the barrel has a hole in it, or this pen would make a great eye-dropper. Also the nib is interchangeable with the nibs on Pilot 78G, if you would like an italic nib on a fancier body.

That's why I'm buying that 78G! The Pilot Plumix nibs are so awesome, but the squid body makes me--erm--reluctant to take it out in public. I'm going to give my friend Zac the squid body with a fine nib.

 

Oya: Nice review, by the way!

Yes, my Dr said, "if only it had a clip"..

In everyday use, my 3 Plumix's just won't die, nor do they ever disappoint..

Single, minor issue is the small cartridge size.. but considering I've refilled the same/original carts, for a solid year, with nary a failure, can't complain too loudly.

i'd get some 5 minute epoxy and plug the hole in the end of the barrel, and just go to town. or put the nib in a 78g body and use some grease on the threads. those would make fantastic eyedroppers.

Yep. The Plumix is easily converted to an eyedropper with a little 5-minute epoxy and some silicone grease. The nibs can be swapped with the Prera and Knight as well.

Great hand writing pal, I love it. Actually it is because of the pen , I think. It is true that the pen or the pencil also effects on your hand writing so if you will use this pen, I am sure about your great hand writing.

I've bought two of these, just to rob the nibs for my Pilot Prera (and subsequently, my husband's Pilot Prera! He always wants what I have :-) )

 

They make great, inexpensive italics, for those who are not sure whether italic is the way to go.

Thnx all for your comments.

Woa, I did'nt know that.

But then, for the fancier body... I have fancier FPs ;)

Oya: Nice review, by the way!

Irbyls, why reluctant? Own your inner weirdness ;) at least I do :) but then, I am the weird one even without FPs. :happyberet:

About clip thing .... this is one reason more girls have bags. And it is also very fashionable (and practical) for guys to have them too.

Regarding cartridges... in the FP's "ass" can be easily put an extra cartridge. Just try it ;)

 

Too bad the barrel isn't completely clear.

Then you can call it semi-demonstrator or a demonstrator with a twist.

Thnx, but just for info, I am a girl ;):vbg: . No offence taken, btw.

Yes, it is true (at least for me) ... italic nib - one way, pencil/pen- another, regular FP third or fourth (depends on my mood)...

True. But I have been addicted with italics since purchasing Manuscript Calligraphic set.

Here is how to add a clip to a Plumix. Take the cap off a Liquid Paper Mini Correction Pen. Grind the top off at an angle, so the clip stays attached, but there is a nice sized hole. Slit the cap opposite the clip & push it on the Plumix far enough so that you can post the cap.

I think, too, that a 78G with converter, with a Plumix M nib on it, makes a very cool pen with a M cursive italic !!! :thumbup: And the M nib of the Plumix is REALLY a funny nib !!!

First thing I did when I got my Plumix home was to superglue that hole shut. I have yet to fill it as an ED but I will as soon as I get through the cart.

 

Edited to add: I'm surprised no one is complaining about the section on the Plumix. It's very Safari-like.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
