Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen - 03 Fine Nib - Green Ink

The color is a bit light, but it is fine. It writes smooth and not scratchy at all. Definitely will be buying more colors of this pen in the future!

Smoooooth on decent paper. Very nice cheap fountain pen. The green ink is perfect: not too dark, not too light.

Smooth nib, good ink flow. But plastic body cracked on both pens I bought (the body where the nib part screws in and the cap that screws on). I carry them in a pen case in my briefcase, so they should be good. Once cracked, they leak on my hands. I won't buy this type again. I prefer the mini fountain pens I bought on this site; many years later they're still in good shape.

I had trouble getting started as I am using the ink cartridge. Once you get the ink flowing this is a great everyday pen. Great color (at least for me) and I would highly recommend this pen.

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!
