Since its launch in 2007, Platinum's Preppy fountain pen has become one of the most popular entry level fountain pens available today with 10 million pens sold worldwide! It's easy to see why this is a popular choice as a first fountain pen for so many. With its approachable, friendly and colorful design, and Platinum's own "Slip and Seal Mechanism" that employs a spring in the cap to force an air tight closure around the nib, thus preventing ink from drying out in this fountain pen for up to a year, this pen is a logical choice for students and for anyone who might be curious about fountain pens but worried about having to deal with fountain pen maintenance. Preppy is easy to write with, comfortable to hold and low pressure for a first time fountain pen user.

It's fair for the price and a true extra fine. I have minor nib issues though, possibly baby's bottom and have been getting hard starts. Disappointed considering I bought this for the supposedly good seal, but it's kind of pointless if it's just going to hard start anyway. But aside from that it does write reasonably well. It's dry with a true hairline, which is exactly what you want from an extra fine, but may be jarring if you are new to fountain pens or Japanese extra fines.
Perfect for writing and drawing!
I like this pen a lot. I have been wanting a fountain pen for a while and this was an affordable way to satisfy that itch. I enjoy writing with this as well.
