 Today, we're going to take a look at the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pin and give you a writing sample. The Platinum Preppy Fountain Pin is a really affordable way to get introduced to fountain pins. A lot of students use them, a lot of younger people use them, people use these to introduce their friends and family members to fountain pins. They're cartridge converters, they each come with a cartridge included in the pin that coordinates with the color of the pin, and they come in a few different nib sizes. Let's take a look here in writing. They're really nice to write with. They just, they're really smooth. When I think of the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pin, when people ask me about them, I say they're really affordable, and they're easy to use, and they're easy to care for, and they're kind of fun. That said, the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pin is a really affordable fountain pin, and it's not tricking you. It looks and feels like an affordable fountain pin, but it is such an easy way to use fountain pins that even some collectors and really experienced fountain pin users still like to keep a Platinum Preppy or two around. In the writing sample here, you can see that we pulled out the red fountain pin with a medium nib, and we just went ahead and inked these with the ink cartridge that was included with the pin, and when you purchase the Platinum Preppy Fountain Pin, your ink cartridge that's included is just going to be inside the barrel of the pin, and you insert it into the section, and you're going to push really firmly, and you will hear it snap into place. Then you'll want to give it a minute or two for the ink to work its way through the feed down to the nib, and you can see in the feed, this is one of the things that's pretty cool about the Platinum Preppy, especially for beginners, is that you can see how it works. You could see when I was holding this pin that the ink is kind of just working its way through the feed, and that translucent material around the feed system is handy for that purpose to give you an idea of what's going on inside. This green Platinum Preppy Fountain Pin is a fine nib, and it's inked with the green ink cartridge that was included inside the pin as well, and we're putting these writing samples down on an endless creative block memo notebook, and they're available in different sizes, and you can check those out on the website, pinchlay.com. This little tear-off page notebook was released fairly recently, end of 2022, beginning of 2023 is when I first started seeing this come into inventory, and I'm hoping it sticks around and we get more variations of it.
