By eslem.torres

This type of pens works amazing for ink testing, is not 100% accurate how it will look on your fountain pen but gives you a general idea of the color

By tcapko

bought this pen a while ago because i use fountain ink dip pens on occasion and wanted to see if this worked as well as advertised. and it does! its point tip isn't very versatile in that you can only write in a .6mm (estimate) nib. the ink flow is beautifully even and lasts a bit longer than a metal tip. great pen to have for fun, and from time to time i do use it in my work. also, great as a watercolor scraping tool, however using it as this will damage your tip.

By jds...

The pen is thin, but heavy in a pleasing way. The tip is hit or miss: Either you'll get one that writes, or you will get one that is scratchy and fussy. I received one of the latter. My pen will only write when the tip is rotated to a certain spot on the tip. However, when it does write, it works very well. Moreover, if you're looking for an easy and convenient way to test out new fountain pen inks, this is a great tool.

  I have used dip pens..., January 1, 2012

I have used dip pens made in Germany before and loved them although I found them a bit too thick. I was excited to try a finer point dip pen and ordered this but have not found it to be very user friendly. It does not seem to be designed to hold enough ink to write fluently and has to be dipped too frequently to allow for continuity.

I just bought this pen and am already excited! I just got it in the mail today and it's even prettier in person than on the site. This pen is a gift for my brother because he likes to draw and do calligraphy but I wanna test it out myself. I think I'll resist and leave it til Christmas when we can all play with it! This is an amazing product and can't wait to see it in use. I just know he'll love it! Thanks JetPens!

  I just bought this pen..., August 4, 2009

I just bought this pen and am waiting for it to come in the mail. It usually takes about 1-2 days to get to me and I've ordered many times from jetpens. I read an article saying you can refill platinum preppy fountain pens with regular bottled inks by just adding an o-ring to the threads of the barrel. I am currently in love with the j. herbin and pilot iroshizuku bottled inks and am waiting on my glass pens and the platinum preppy pens to test them out. I am definitely looking forward to receiving these pens in the mail. I only wish bottled inks were cheaper... $22.50 for a bottle of iroshizuku is really taxing my wallet. overall, great buy though!
