The colored pen cap and ink feed match the ink color of the pen. This helps you easily identify the color so you don't accidentally use the wrong one. The nib size is also printed on top of the cap for you to find the desired nib size with ease.
The pen won't dry out even if the cartridge is installed for one year, due to Platinum's "Slip Seal" cap mechanism. You can experience smooth writing from the start. Its sturdy nib and ability to keep refilling will allow you to keep the pen for a long time.
