Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen 0.2 – Extra Fine
The Platinum Preppy has gained popularity owing to its high writing performance while maintaining a very low price since its Launch. Along with the growing number of fountain pen users, there are more customers enjoying ink colors. This has led Platinum to create the colourful pens which allow you to write with the ink that compliment the colour of your pen. The nib is made of highly-polished stainless steel, and the mixed metal point that provides excellent abrasion resistance, makes Preppy one of the best quality fountain pens for this price range. It also utilizes the Slip and Seal Mechanism, which prevents the ink from drying out inside the pen even after a year without usage, providing a smooth, consistent writing experience at any time. The Preppy model enhances the joy of writing with a fountain pen. Enjoy it with the ink color of your choice.

Excellent value. Will not be disposing this pen but will be refilling using the adapter.
Very fine nib, writes perfectly. Nice for out and about note taking or sketching.

Excellent value and much much more than an entry level pen which the price might convey. Good writing experience and has never let me down in any way.

I bought the Preppy because it received such good reviews online. The EF fine nib is surprisingly smooth but provides nice feedback. For the price point it is an excellent purchase.

These are great pens, and the 0.2mm nib offers a lovely fine line and feels reasonably smooth. The blue-black ink from Platinum is an under-rated ink that works on pretty much any paper you use.
The only thing holding the Preppy back from a 5 star rating is the tendency for the cap to eventually crack, although you will usually have a couple years use out f it before then.

I got the EF nib just because I wanted to experience that very fine line. And very fine it is. I truly love how fine it writes. I am however struggling with the ink flow and had quite a number of very hard starts and will rather be sticking to the F

More value than what you pay for, this pen is fantastic. This is my every day pen. The nib is fine and smooth which works great for my small handwriting. It is great on just about any paper, but it is fantastic on Tomoe River Paper, the ink dries fast and lasts a long time.
