Pen fans! I have a Platinum Plaisir with some pink ink which keeps going scratchy on me even though the converter still has plenty of ink in it. I’ve tried cleaning everything out with water and letting it dry and it’s a little bit better but it still seems to dry out in use. Any suggestions?
I have no advice, I'm just noting how autocorrupt has changed Platignum to platinum. Also, ironically, the old Platignum factory in Royston has long gone, having been roughly where the platinum refinery is

Oh wait, there is a Japanese company named Platinum who also do pens, and no relation to the English company whose products were once so ubiquitous
