The Preppy is the pen that has quietly taught more people to write with a fountain pen than almost any other. Platinum have been making fountain pens in Japan since 1919, and here they have put a proper stainless steel nib into a clear moulded body that costs less than a decent sandwich. The nib is the point: smooth, consistent, and it writes the moment it touches paper.
Slip and Seal, Platinum's sprung inner cap, keeps the ink from drying out for up to a year with the cap on, so a Preppy left in a drawer over the summer still starts first time. Three nib widths: 02 extra fine for small handwriting and sketching, 03 fine for everyday notes, 05 medium for a wetter, more expressive line. The transparent barrel lets you watch the ink go down.
Each pen comes with one cartridge to match the barrel colour. Takes Platinum's own cartridges, or a Platinum converter if you would rather fill from a bottle.
