Review: Great little pen! - Love this cheap little pen. Got it with a medium nib and it just glides across the cheap looseleaf paper I use for journaling. Writes better than sos e of my more expensive pens. very easy to eyedropper, no o ring needed. Review: Inexpensive fountain pen that puts out a lot of ink - I just started getting back into fountain pens recently. Previously, I'd only used a different brand's calligraphy pens and while they write well on the first or second use, the ink always dries up since I don't do Calligraphy EVERY day. This one is the least expensive (non-disposable) I've tried by far, and I actually really like it! I've realized I like "wet" fountain pens that put out a lot of ink and this one does not disappoint. The line is nicely bold and the ink doesn't bleed even on cheap notebook paper. I don't mind the smooth grip - another thing I figured out was that with my small hands, I tend to grip the pen closer to the nib than some people might, and I appreciate that there is NOT a ridge on the edge digging into my finger. The nib is also fairly short compared to other pens, which helps with small hands, too. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get into fountain pens, I highly recommend, but NOTE: this is a medium-point pen, and a lot of the ones for sale here are Fine or Extra Fine nibs, which I've read can be scratchy. ## Features - Package Dimensions: 14.2 H x 1.5 L x 6.2 W (centimetres) - Package Weight: 0.015 kilograms - Country of Origin : Japan - Product Typewriting Instrument ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074TD8GKJ | | Additional Features | Refillable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,398 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #100 in Fountain Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | PLATINUM | | Brand Name | PLATINUM | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 665 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04977114112898 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | H | | Included Components | Fountain Pen with a cartridge | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 0.5 inches | | Item Dimensions | 5.43 x 0.51 x 0.51 inches | | Item Weight | 0.01 kg | | Line Size | 0.5 millimeters | | Manufacturer | Platinum | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Preppy | | Model Number | 1716013 | | Pattern | single item | | Recommended Uses For Product | Calligraphy, Writing | | Style | Medium nib | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Writing Instrument Form | Fountain Pen | | Writing Technique | fountain pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** PLATINUM - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Fountain Pen ## Images ![Platinum Fountain Pen, Preppy, Medium Nib, Black (1716013.0) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41K4sEleGuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little pen! *by A***H on February 20, 2026* Love this cheap little pen.

Either one will go for months without drying out. ## Frequently Bought Together - Platinum Fountain Pen, Preppy, Medium Nib, Black (1716013.0) - Platinum Fountain Pen, Preppy, Fine Nib, Black (1716012.0) - Platinum Fountain Pen Converter Silver 700A#9 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/74784554-platinum-fountain-pen-preppy-medium-nib-black-1716013-0](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/74784554-platinum-fountain-pen-preppy-medium-nib-black-1716013-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
