The Platinum Preppy fountain pen is a terrific value for the price! This is a perfect starter fountain pen, or a wonderful option to keep at your desk. The pen features a clear plastic body, and a matching Purple stainless steel nib. The nib does run a little on the fine side, and is available in fine (0.3mm). The Preppy accepts Platinum cartridges or a Platinum converter to use with your choice of bottled ink. It comes with one Purple ink cartridge, and the proprietary Platinum converter is sold separately. If you would like to use international cartridges instead, an optional adapter is also available!
Nice little pen with a very smooth nib. Not the most elegant of pens, but nice for throwing in my purse and not worrying about. The enclosed feed does make it a little tricky to clean if I want to switch inks. I didn't like the purple ink that came with it, but I used a syringe to fill the empty cartridge with Noodler's Ottoman Rose and that makes me a lot happier.
