Exclusive Launch of the Limited Edition PRO-USE 171
Platinum Fountain Pen Co., headquartered in Tokyo and led by President Toshiya Nakada, has announced the launch of the limited edition colors for its popular PRO-USE 171 pencil. This celebrated writing instrument integrates the unique "Shunook System," allowing users to customize their writing feel to match their preferences.
Introducing two premium colors – Frost Gold and Frost Silver – this limited release continues the tradition of high-quality finishes established with the 2022 edition, which featured Violet, Navy Blue, and Wine Red twotone colors. The Frost Gold and Frost Silver versions are designed for adults, exuding a sophisticated charm with their sparkling hues, each enhanced with a specialized matte finish for a comfortable grip.
In addition to the elegant aesthetics, these limited colors showcase a refined matte black component that perfectly contrasts with the luxurious gold and silver bodies. This design choice not only enhances the overall look but also makes the pencil suitable for professional settings, providing users with a high-end writing experience.
Product Features of the PRO-USE 171
The Shunook System is the standout feature of the PRO-USE 171, allowing users to personalize their writing experience through two unique adjustment systems:
1.
Adjustable Lead Pipe Length
Users can control the length of the lead pipe by simply rotating the tapered tip (nosepiece). This flexibility allows adjustments based on the thickness of the ruler or the distance from the paper surface, ensuring a tailored writing experience.
2.
Lead Cushion ON/OFF Switch
By pressing the gripper and rotating the body, users can toggle the cushion mechanism (Sin Switch) on or off. When the cushion is activated, it provides a stable writing experience, ensuring lead strength even with increased pressure. Otherwise, turning it off allows for a more delicate writing feel, enabling a direct connection with the paper and lead condition.
