## Description

Fountain pen from Japanese stationary manufacturer Platinum fountain pen, very fine but with very reasonable price, color fountain pens.

Review: The preppy pen. - This pen has a good flow. Important for sketching as well as writing.
Review: Inexpensive fountain pen that puts out a lot of ink - I just started getting back into fountain pens recently. Previously, I'd only used a different brand's calligraphy pens and while they write well on the first or second use, the ink always dries up since I don't do Calligraphy EVERY day. This one is the least expensive (non-disposable) I've tried by far, and I actually really like it! I've realized I like "wet" fountain pens that put out a lot of ink and this one does not disappoint. The line is nicely bold and the ink doesn't bleed even on cheap notebook paper. I don't mind the smooth grip - another thing I figured out was that with my small hands, I tend to grip the pen closer to the nib than some people might, and I appreciate that there is NOT a ridge on the edge digging into my finger. The nib is also fairly short compared to other pens, which helps with small hands, too. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get into fountain pens, I highly recommend, but NOTE: this is a medium-point pen, and a lot of the ones for sale here are Fine or Extra Fine nibs, which I've read can be scratchy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value pen
*by J***N on August 5, 2025*

Mine came with a problematic ink cartridge, but I’m sure it’s a fluke. Feels a bit flimsy and I hate that the barcode is engraved into the pen, but for the price, it’s the best value you can get 💯 Very inky pen, can take a few seconds to dry. It glides nicely through the paper, not a lot of friction.
