Have you just discovered the world of fountain pens and don't know which one to choose?
We highly recommend the Platinum Preppy!
Since its creation in 2007, the Platinum Preppy has been one of the most popular fountain pens on the market thanks to its very affordable price.
Its transparent resin body allows you to see the ink inside and its colorful accents make it super charming. Its stainless steel nib is abrasion-resistant and provides a smooth and effortless writing experience.
Its cap features a patented mechanism that prevents the ink from drying out when the pen is closed, even after a year without use.
It is the perfect pen for beginners or for people who do not write frequently with the same pen.
-
Dimensions: 5.5 '' with the cap closed and 6 '' with the cap placed on the end of the body
-
Weight: 10 g (without cartridge or converter)
- Comes with an ink cartridge
-
Complementary product we suggest: A removable and reusable converter that allows you to use ink bottles instead of single-use cartridges. You will find it here.
-
Note: Japanese nibs tend to be finer than Western ones. If you are used to writing, for example, with a fine nib, we recommend you select a medium Japanese nib.

Platinum fountain pens are only compatible with Platinum ink cartridges

Platinum Pen Co., Ltd was founded in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata. This Japanese company quickly became a pioneer in the writing instrument industry.
One of its most important creations was the Platinum Honest 60. It was one of the first fountain pens in the world to use ink cartridges. In 1958, mountaineers even went to the Himalayan mountains to test the Honest 60 and proved that the cartridge ink did not leak despite the low atmospheric pressure (if you travel by plane often with your fountain pens and cartridges, you know that this is no small feat!).
Nowadays, Platinum Pen Co., Ltd is recognized as one of the best pen companies on the market. Its great reputation is partly due to the fact that it has remained a family business; even after 100 years in existence, it is still run by the Nakata family. It has therefore managed to preserve its original vision and passion for pen making.
