 Okay, for today's how-to fountain pin video, we're gonna show you how to ink one of the most popular or best-selling fountain pins that we have ever carried and that we always carry. These are the platinum preppies and this particular set is a limited edition set. The preppy was the second edition, but you can always get platinum preppies in the solid colors. And we're gonna take a look at how easy these are to ink. You wanna put ink in them, you just start by unscrewing the barrel. Inside you'll find an ink cartridge and you can just pop that right in and when I say pop it in, you actually pop it in, you'll hear it snap into place. And then you wanna let that sit for a minute or you can pull that out and instead use the converter and it comes in silver or gold, but those are just colors. If you get the platinum converter, it's gonna fit in your platinum preppy fountain pin. The benefit of using the ink cartridges is that it's ready to go right when you get it, but the converters you have to purchase separately, although they do allow you to use any fountain pin safe bottled ink with your platinum preppy. So we're gonna go ahead and show you how to ink this one with this platinum pigment ink and this is going to use the platinum converter that's already installed in this pin and you're gonna just dip the nib down into the ink until it's submerged and then twist the piston style mechanism and you'll see the ink being pulled up into your converter. And if it doesn't fill it enough for you, just go ahead and push it down and pull it back up again and it'll pull more in. And there is your inked fountain pin and when you ink it this way, you'll see the ink is already all through the feed and on your nib, so it's gonna be ready to write. We hope you enjoy this video about how to ink your platinum preppy fountain pin. It is just one of the great beginner fountain pins and one that people tend to hang on to even once they're used to using all sorts of pins from all brands. Visit Pinchelay for more info.
