Product Description
These beautiful pens come with the pen itself an ink converter (for using ink out of a bottle) three ink cartridges and a suede wrap. The pen is designed with an iridium tip. The most corrosion-resistant metal known iridium was first added to reinforce early pen nibs which were made of gold- and thus too soft. It is the iridium point in contact with paper that makes the ink flow smoothly and respond to variations in pressure. As it wears over time the iridium tip will form to your particular style of drawing or writing making this pen distinctly yours. Only use non-shellac based inks in this pen. Most water based inks do not contain shellac; inks that are sold as permanent ink usually contain shellac to make them waterproof. This type of permanent ink can clog the tip of your new fountain pen.

this pen is smooth ans gets a lot of somments. little hard to get started with, as there is a lack of instructions, but it's pretty easy to figure out.
 Refillable ink barrel does not work... August 15, 2008

I bought these pens from a local Art Supply store. As an artist, I am always on the never-ending hunt for the ultimate drawing tools. This one looked promising...alas, the supplied refillable ink barrel simply does not draw ink into the chamber. I tried swapping them between the pens and no luck. With all the variety of fountain pens (mostly designed for writers in mind) it seems difficult for artists to find the ideal fountain pen: very fine and super flexible nibs for super-thin to broad strokes! Sadly this pen doesn't quiet fit the bill either.

This was my third fountain pen and am fairly disappointed with it. I like the extra fine nib for doodling and like writing small with it, but the ink leaks all over the place. I try to be careful, but it isn't long before my fingertips are covered in ink. I recommend the more expensive lamy.

I'm one of those people that love to write and draw with fountain pens, but this one...well I guess you get what you pay for... when the pen finally reached me i was looking forward to doing some drawing, because of the extra fine nib, and i finally got to after using it the old fashion way and dipping it in the bottle every few minutes, because none of the cartridges fit; You could push them in cnd they would open and then fall off the stud and get ink everywhere... not impressed with the trouble to use
