The New Platinum Preppy 0.2Mm Ef . . .


Tas

Recommended Posts

In a couple of days I'll know if the Preppy EF is similar to the Pilot EF.

Or not.

 

The order (from Goulet Pens) was delivered a couple days after my previous post.

 

Where, I have no idea, but it wasn't to the claimed address. Not in the mailbox, not on the front steps (which are actually around the back side of the house away from the highway), not anywhere in between.

 

I've got a claim in with USPS, and expect some movement on the issue between now and 2017. Maybe.

its ok, I am going to try to smooth it a bit. I have this little barbers hone at home that does a really nice job at this. I am sure I can get it workable, its a nice little pen for sure.

I would recommend this Preppy as great fun for writers with a light, very light, touch. If you use a death grip and a great deal of pressure, you won't enjoy it.

Initial response: "Denied. Paperwork says it was delivered."

 

Appealing it, I am. :wacko:

This is the next pen on my list, along with a stainless steel UEF nib on, I'm not sure which model has a Stainless steel UEF nib.

I really like my PO nib, and am disappointed that a Penmanship for some uses performs comparably to it.

I'll definitely have to try this preppy soon!!

Ordered and received them from rakuten. Mine are not scratchy at all considering how fine the nib is, will add a line comparison with penmanship later:)

Excellent, can't wait.

 

I have R&K's Lepziger Schwarz in one of mine and Sailor's Ink of Witch in an other. It's teensy nib really brings out the colours from these gorgeously dark inks . . . :)

okay here is the comparison with pilot penmanship extra fine nib. To be honest i feel more feedback when using penmanship than preppy but i enjoy using pilot nib more due to its relatively big size.

I can see you enjoy it more and judging from the lines you've shown it's a lot more expressive than the Preppys.

Looks like I'll order one up before I make any New Years resolutions . . . :)

 

Thank you for the comparison.

I hope you don't feel you wasted your money on the Preppys. I'd feel awfully guilty if that were the case . . . :mellow:

I was thinking about ordering from there, but at the end I've bought one from cultpens...

 

Thanks for the heads up, Tas! Can't wait to try this! ;)

Phew!

 

I've decided not to buy a Penmanship. Reasoning being that even more EF nibs at my disposal will no doubt reduce the amount of time my gorgeous 912 gets in my hands.

 

Perhaps. :)

 

(That and Cult Pens are out of stock ;) )

I just ordered one from Goulet and am having them convert it to an eyedropper for me.

I have one 0.5 and four .03.

I have a Balance in 0.28 so it will be interesting to see what the 0.2 writes like.

So far all of the Platinum nibs have been well made and durable.

Happy New Year.

Be Happy, work at it. Namaste
