Platinum Preppy Ef

Recommended Posts

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

I'm loving these 02 EF Preppies.

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
