I just picked up a Platinum Preppy EF from Goulet Pens...true to the conversation, the Preppy EF has been a pleasant surprise for a $5 fountain pen. It is actually a smoother nib than the fine, handles ink fairly well, and is comfortable to hold.

I plan to pick a couple up. They are great for editing purposes. I am currently inked with Diamine Oxblood and plan to experiment with "drier" inks to see how they handle them.

Wow! I had no idea that there was an EF Preppy! I love the Oxblood ink - there's something hypnotic about writing a whole page in it. Enjoy your Preppy

Just ordered (3), one each color, waiting for them to arrive.

They arrived, after a delay while they hid under some construction leftovers under snow.

 

Why this mail delivery person placed the package at that side of the house, we'll never know; everyone else uses the door at the end of the driveway nearest the house.

 

The pens write very nicely, btw.

My 02 EF Preppy nibs have now found there way into Platinum Plasirs. This is because the caps kept cracking on the Preppies. Shame you just can't get the Plasir with the 02 to start with. Still I like the Aluminium Plasir and the colours look better in real life than in most online retailer photos.

I should do the same. All three of mine now have superglued caps. :(

 

Such a shame as I can't fault them otherwise.

The lid on my first 02 Preppy cracked after a week of light use. It's a shame such its a great pen otherwise. I'll need to pick up more once everyone starts stocking them again.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
