No pen in decades of fountain pen use has surprised me more than the Preppy. The 03 nib with Carbon cartridges is shockingly fun to use.

After using an 03 Preppy pretty extensively for the last couple years. I picked up an 02 just last month. I use my 03 for art, and typically use it for lettering. It’s just slightly wider than I want, so I hoped that the 02 would be better. Alas, it’s just a bit too thin for the use I imagined. I’ll still use it, but someday hope for the sweet spot between 02 and 03 (02.5?)

I have about 10 or so. Like Raffaelo, I find them great for having a variety of inks at my disposal for a very low price.

I have quite a lot of them, with different ink colors. I love Preppy pens!!
