Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen

The Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen is widely regarded as one of the best values in the fountain pen world—offering smooth performance, stylish design, and impressive features at an unbeatable price. Whether you're just getting started with fountain pens or need a reliable pen to lend to a friend, the Preppy is a fantastic choice.

This version features a translucent black body, clear cap, black trim, and a stainless steel nib that writes with precision. As a Japanese-made pen, the nib tends to run finer than Western equivalents, making it ideal for detailed writing.

It also includes Platinum’s patented “Slip & Seal” cap mechanism, which prevents the nib from drying out for over a year without use—perfect for occasional writers or pen collectors who rotate their pens.

Key Features:
Exceptional value—perfect for beginners or as a backup pen.
Translucent black body with a clear cap and sleek black accents.
Fine stainless steel nib (Japanese sizing for extra precision).
“Slip & Seal” cap technology keeps ink fresh for over a year.
Compatible with Platinum ink cartridges (one black cartridge included).
Can be upgraded with a Platinum converter (sold separately) for bottled ink use.
Bonus Tip: Convert to an Eyedropper!
Want maximum ink capacity? You can easily convert the Preppy into an eyedropper pen by adding an o-ring and a bit of silicone grease to the barrel threads (both sold separately). This allows you to fill the entire barrel with ink—perfect for long writing sessions without refilling.
