One reason is that the glossy black surface shows fingerprints much more easily than any of the other pens. The length of the pen (with and without its cap) also may make the pen more or less ergonomic for small or large hands.It’s possible to customize this fountain pen with different size nibs or by choosing from a range of colors, including matte black, brass, stainless steel, pink, blue, and more. The Plaisir is identical to the Preppy except for the cap and body being made of aluminium, and is worth the extra cost.

They also come in a wide variation of models, from disposable pens to luxury versions with gold nibs. The nibs are definitely a little out of the ordinary, but they can be fun to use, especially for someone who’s not comfortable using an expensive pen. They’re not bad pens, by any means, but the Novice are truly the only disposable pens of the bunch, as they are impossible to easily refill. People who have never used a fountain pen, especially children, don’t understand how delicate they can be.
