Platinum Preppy Blue-Black 0.3mm (Fine) Review


Black 0.5 (Medium) and Blue-Black 0.3 (Fine)

One of my Christmas gifts that I received was a Platinum Preppy with Blue-Black ink and a fine 0.3mm nib. I already had a 0.5mm Medium Platinum Preppy with Black ink, which I never really enjoyed because I felt it wrote too broad. It was my first real fountain pen, and it somewhat turned me off from fountain pens until I found some that I truly enjoyed in our garage. But I digress, I am very impressed with this 0.3mm Preppy and I wish I would've opted for this before I bought the 0.5mm. For only around $3, it's hard to beat this pen. Plus, it can double as an eye-dropper with an o-ring and some silicone grease on the threads. One thing I noticed that was different between this pen and my medium is that the medium Preppy says "0.5" on top of the cap, and this fine version of the pen has no size indication on the cap. I kind of liked that little added touch. This review was done on standard 20lb. copy paper.

Without further ado... here is my review of the Blue-Black Platinum Preppy with a 0.3mm Fine Nib.
