Had a Prefounte and two Preppy pens to refill so I figured I'd try some fluorescent inks in them. Works just fine, though the Pennonia ink really wants a wider/juicier nib than a Platinum EF/02.

Added the TWSBIs to the sheet because they were handy, and the reason will be apparent in my next post.

Photo of a writing sample with five lines accompanied by five pens. The first line reads "Platinum Prefounte - Pennonia Sunset" in orange ink, followed by a Platinum Prefounte fountain pen which is orange in color. The second line reads "Platinum Preppy Wa - T+L E=mc2" in olive green ink, followed by a Platinum Preppy fountain pen which has a clear cap, and a transparent green barrel that has oranges and leaves around its barrel. The third line reads "Platinum Preppy - T+L Regulus" in light blue ink, followed by a Platinum Preppy fountain pen with a clear cap and transparent black barrel. The fourth line reads "TWSBI ECO - T+L Antares" in fuchsia ink, followed by a TWSBI ECO fountain pen with a fuchsia cap and piston knob, black accents, and a clear barrel. The fifth line reads... wait, no text is visible here. Oops. Mistake? Followed by a TWSBI ECO fountain pen with a transparent green cap and piston knob, silver accents, and a clear barrel.
