Introduction to Fountain Pens

.

Fountain Pen Nib Types

The nib is the most crucial part of a fountain pen; you must understand what type of nib you need and which one is suitable for you. Here, we provide some information to help you get acquainted with different nibs. First, it’s essential to recognize two important elements: “Nib Size” and “Nib Shape.”

Nib Size

The size of the nib tip determines the line width. Nibs are typically classified into various sizes from narrow to broad: Extra Fine (EF), Fine (F), Medium (M), and Broad (B). Sizes are relative; different brands may have variations even if they are labeled the same. Japanese fountain pens generally write narrower than non-Japanese brands with the same size designation. For example, the writing width of a Pilot medium nib is approximately similar to that of a Kaweco fine nib. Generally, those with smaller handwriting should opt for fine or extra-fine nibs, while those with larger handwriting may prefer medium or broad nibs, but be sure to consider the selected brand as well.

Nib Shape

Nib shapes can be round or specially shaped.
Round: The majority of standard nibs are round. This means they provide the same line width regardless of the writing direction, similar to a regular ballpoint pen.
Special Shape: Depending on the stroke direction, a specially shaped nib creates varying line widths. The most common type of special-shaped nib is italic, which makes vertical strokes wide and horizontal strokes narrow. If you are new to fountain pens, we recommend starting with a basic round nib.

Fountain Pen Ink Filling Systems

All fountain pens use ink, but the way they are filled varies. Different filling methods have their own characteristics based on your preferences for convenience, ink capacity, price selection, or a balance among all three.

– Ink Cartridge

Cartridge ink filling is the most convenient method, especially during travel. When the ink runs out, you simply remove the empty cartridge and insert a new one. Some brands’ fountain pen cartridges are compatible with cartridges from other brands, while others only work with their own brand cartridges.

– Converter

A converter is a small device inserted into the pen barrel that allows you to draw bottled ink through the nib into the barrel. Converters can accommodate almost all ranges of bottled ink colors, but they only hold about half the ink of a cartridge, so you may find yourself refilling ink more frequently.

– Built-In Filling Systems: Piston/Negative Pressure

For this method, immerse the nib fully into the ink bottle and turn the knob at the end of the pen or pull the knob at the end of the pen.
Piston: Immerse the nib fully into the ink bottle, turn the knob at the end of the pen until the piston is fully extended, with the piston head at the bottom, then turn the knob in the opposite direction to retract the piston, drawing ink into the barrel.
Negative Pressure: Immerse the nib fully into the ink bottle, pull the knob at the end of the pen, then press back to the original position to draw ink into the barrel.

If you’re interested in bottled ink or prefer large ink storage, you should consider fountain pens with built-in piston or vacuum filling systems. These fountain pens cannot use cartridges; instead, they can hold more ink than a cartridge by converting the entire barrel into a large ink reservoir.

– Dropper Filling

Dropper filling is the oldest and simplest method. As the name suggests, it involves using a dropper or syringe to fill the entire ink reservoir. This filling method allows for a larger ink capacity than other types, but despite its simplicity, it can be somewhat cumbersome and prone to leaking, which is why very few manufacturers produce dropper-filling fountain pens. Most dropper-filling fountain pens are top-of-the-line models from the manufacturer.

Ink Filling System	Convenience	Capacity	Ink Color Options
Ink Cartridge	High	Medium	Few
Converter	High	Low	Many
Built-In Filling System	Medium	High	Many
Dropper Filling	Low	High	Many

Top Ten Fountain Pen Brands

.

What fountain pen brands are available for selection? Here are the top ten premium fountain pen brands from around the world. Buy a good pen to write beautifully, present a thoughtful gift, and showcase your taste and refinement. The following brands are listed in no particular order:

1. Aurora

Founded in 1919 in Turin, Italy, Aurora is renowned for its exclusive, multicolored Auroloide material. Auroloide, a type of plastic used for making pen barrels, achieves vibrant colors with a glossy finish akin to celluloid but is not flammable and is less labor-intensive. Popular collections like the 88, Optima, and Oceani series utilize this material. Each pen resembles a unique canvas, paired with a smooth nib honed in their factory, making it the perfect entry point into Italian writing instruments.

In addition to standard EF/F/M/B nibs, Aurora has designed special nibs known colloquially as “Italian knives” (CE/CF/CM) that allow for adjusted writing angles, resulting in different stroke widths. These nibs are also easier to sharpen than standard nibs, making them particularly suitable for writing Chinese characters.

2. Lamy

Established in 1930, Lamy has a history of over ninety years, continuing to embody the Bauhaus philosophy of balancing form and function while consistently winning multiple international design awards like iF, Reddot, and Good Design.

The most iconic model is undoubtedly the Lamy 2000, which, since its design in 1966, has remained timeless. Its lightweight and durable carbon fiber body paired with a 14K gold nib provides a distinctive writing experience.

Lamy also caters to the youth market with its entry-level Safari and AL-star series, characterized by innovative designs and affordable prices. Each year, they release eye-catching limited edition colors and playful collaboration pens, featuring popular characters like Minions and Line Friends, captivating both beginners and seasoned users.

3. Montblanc

Montblanc is a top German fountain pen brand that has maintained its pioneering spirit since its founding in 1906. Craftsmen combine exquisite German craftsmanship with unique designs, using precious metals like platinum and gold, along with various woods and gemstones, to create limited editions that can be passed down through generations. Each Montblanc pen features a white hexagonal star on its top, symbolizing the snow-capped peak of Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, and represents the brand’s technical and professional excellence.

The Meisterstück (Masterpiece) series introduced in 1924 is Montblanc’s most famous classic model. Subsequent collections like the Bohème, Starwalker series, and Heritage series honoring the original model have also enjoyed immense popularity. Limited-edition writing instruments, such as the Patron of Art series, Writers Edition, and Great Characters series, are sought after and frequently collected by pen enthusiasts.

4. Namiki / Pilot

Pilot’s origins trace back to “Namiki Manufacturing Company” founded by Ryosuke Namiki and Masao Wada in 1918. Namiki first began refining the design of nibs, leading to the creation of 14K gold nibs. Inspired by ship compasses, Namiki used natural iridium alloys from Hokkaido to create durable, wear-resistant nibs, addressing the issue of gold nibs wearing down. Hence, the first domestically produced 14K nib was born.

In 1925, Pilot began producing and selling pure Japanese fountain pens. Due to the aging and discoloration of hard rubber, Pilot adopted lacquer finishes, collaborating with “Living National Treasure” Gonroku Matsuda and other skilled lacquer artisans to produce lacquered fountain pens, which gained popularity in European and American markets, showcasing Japan’s unique lacquer culture. Five years later, Namiki partnered with Alfred Dunhill to establish the “Dunhill Namiki” brand, successfully selling Namiki pens in London, Paris, New York, and beyond, resulting in significant acclaim.

Namiki pens are crafted by Pilot’s talented artisans, renowned for their exquisite lacquer techniques and “maki-e” (decorative lacquer) methods. The craftsmanship of their vermillion and black lacquer fountain pens is flawless, with seemingly invisible seams on the dropper-style barrels. From the Emperor series to the entry-level Nippon Art series, they each have unique characteristics. Pilot’s Custom Urushi or Custom 845 are great starting choices for lacquer pens.

In addition to paint pens, the Pilot Custom series also has different types of pens, which thoughtfully take care of the needs of different users. For example, the 823 with negative pressure inking and the 92 with piston inking are suitable for pen friends who need to store large-capacity ink; The 16 characteristic pen tips of 742 are suitable for use in different occasions.

5. Otto Hutt

Founded in 1920 by Karl Hutt, who resided in Pforzheim, Otto Hutt reflects the rich cultural heritage of this German industrial town, renowned for its jewelry and watchmaking, producing 70% of Germany’s jewelry and having a 240-year history in gold and jewelry processing. Pforzheim is often referred to as the “City of Gold.”

Influenced by this legacy, Karl Hutt integrated the Bauhaus philosophy into product design. Otto Hutt’s products, ranging from everyday accessories to luxurious silver writing instruments, are all manufactured in Germany. To be labeled as “Made in Germany,” brands must adhere to strict quality control, showcasing the country’s premier craftsmanship and unique aesthetics.

Otto Hutt’s various product lines exemplify German craftsmanship, such as the hand-polished guilloché of Design 02 and the diamond-machined and polished design of Design 06. The minimalist yet noble Design 01, retro yet fashionable Design 03, and the linear aesthetic of Design 04 all embody refined elegance and simplicity intertwined with German aesthetics.

6. Parker

Founded in 1888, Parker began with George Safford Parker, who applied for his first fountain pen patent at the age of 25. He firmly believed that “it will always be possible to make a better pen.” His pursuit of breakthroughs led the brand to achieve numerous milestones.

In 1894, Parker developed the “Lucky Curve” ink feed system, which was his second patent. The “Lucky Curve” significantly improved the common issue of leaking ink in early fountain pens, marking a major breakthrough at the time.

The Duofold launched in 1921 broke with tradition by using a durable and resilient plastic material that was not mainstream at the time. Instead of the commonly used black or brown, it featured a striking bright red as the primary color for the barrel, resulting in immense popularity. Even today, the Duofold remains one of the most beloved collections.

In 1939, during the golden age of fountain pens, with various brands competing, founder’s son Kenneth Parker created a revolutionary design inspired by his love of aircraft. He conceptualized a streamlined design for the pen, naming it “Parker 51,” which was released two years later to celebrate the brand’s 51st anniversary.

The “Parker 51” incorporated various patented technologies from Parker, and over its thirty-year production run, more than 20 million units were sold, with total sales exceeding $400 million, making it one of the most popular fountain pens of the 20th century.

To recreate the classic design, Parker launched a new edition of the “Parker 51” last year. The reissue features slightly adjusted shape and functionality according to contemporary standards, blending classical charm with modern style. Enthusiasts rushed to purchase it, relishing the nostalgia.

7. Pelikan

Pelikan was originally founded in 1838 by chemist Carl Hornemann in Hanover, Germany, selling ink, watercolors, and other drawing products. In 1871, Gunther Wagner took over, adopting the pelican as the brand’s logo. Pelikan soon acquired the patent for the piston filling system and introduced the M400 fountain pen with a green striped design. Over time, the “green stripe” became an iconic representation of Pelikan, making it a household name in the fountain pen industry.

In terms of classic models, besides the green stripe, the tortoise shell pattern is also very popular, exemplified by models like the M400 “White Tortoise” and M600 “Red Tortoise.” Additionally, the Toledo series made from Damascus steel is highly collectible.

8. Platinum

Platinum is one of Japan’s three major fountain pen brands, founded by Shoichi Nakata in 1919, making it over a century old. Initially focusing on selling fountain pens, it established the Nakaya Factory in 1924 to produce them.

Platinum is known for its innovative spirit and has been a pioneer in Japanese writing culture, producing a number of notable writing instruments. For instance, it launched the “Honest 60” in 1956, the world’s first fountain pen using an ink cartridge, and in 1967, it introduced the “Platinum Platinum,” the first silver-barrel pen with a platinum nib. The same year also saw the creation of the “Platinum Sheep,” the first pen wrapped in sheepskin.

Today, Platinum offers several series worthy of collection, including the silver pens crafted by traditional artisan Junichi Iwamura and the Izumo series featuring “maki-e” (decorative lacquer) pens, each representing the artisan’s dedication.

The most popular series is undoubtedly the #3776 Century. Platinum’s #3776 Century series celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, showcasing a wide variety of designs in celluloid, resin, wood, Kanazawa foil, mother-of-pearl, and hard rubber. The pens in this series feature the exclusive Slip & Seal system, allowing them to be capable of lasting up to two years without drying out, a technology that the brand prides itself on.

9. Sailor

In 1911, Kyugoro Sakata founded the predecessor of Sailor Pen, “Sakata Manufacturing,” in Inari-cho, Kure City, where the first 14K gold nib fountain pen in Japan was produced. The subsequent Profit Torpedo series and Professional Gear flat-top series became exceptionally popular, establishing Sailor’s reputation and solidifying the boat anchor logo as the brand’s most recognizable symbol.

The charm of writing with a fountain pen lies in the unique sensation of the nib touching the paper, and Sailor’s “Naginata” nib series adds an intriguing variation to this experience. Developed in the early ’90s by nib artisan Nobuyoshi Nagahara, the Naginata nib has a rounded point that resembles a “naginata” (a traditional Japanese polearm). The Naginata nib family includes various variants: NMF/NM/NB in different widths, as well as Fude (calligraphy) nibs, Concord reverse nibs, Emperor wedge nibs, and Cross Point double cross nibs, among others. The entire series employs Sailor’s exclusively developed 21K gold nibs, each with its unique writing feel, making them excellent companions for practicing Chinese characters and Japanese calligraphy.

Aside from the Naginata series, Sailor’s most well-known pen is undoubtedly the King of Pen (KOP). The KOP’s barrel size is comparable to Pelikan’s M1000 and Montblanc’s 149, making it an essential fountain pen for large pen enthusiasts. Equipped with an oversized 21K gold nib, the KOP provides a particularly soft and springy writing experience. The KOP is available in both resin and hard rubber models, featuring a variety of colorful lacquer finishes as well as exquisitely crafted limited edition “maki-e” versions.

10. Visconti

Founded in 1988 by Dante del Vecchio and Luigi Poli, Visconti originated in Florence.

In the 1980s, while most pen manufacturers had stopped using celluloid, Visconti’s celluloid pens continued to be treasured by collectors. The founders enlisted talented artisans to craft the first limited edition celluloid pens using 1950s celluloid. Visconti’s distinctive design, paired with their Double Reservoir Power Filler System and 23K palladium nib, quickly endeared the brand to fountain pen enthusiasts.

Visconti is known for utilizing various materials innovatively. While the Van Gogh series is made from common resin, Visconti selects the unique colors found in Van Gogh’s paintings, transforming ordinary writing tools into extraordinary pieces of art. For example, the Homo Sapiens Lava series incorporates a unique combination of volcanic rock and resin, which is not only durable but also absorbs sweat from the hand while writing, providing a warm and comfortable grip.

Choosing the Right Fountain Pen for Yourself

.

Design of the Fountain Pen Body

It is essential to choose a fountain pen that suits your style and comfort needs, as they come in various shapes, sizes, and materials. If your pen looks cool and feels good to hold, you will be more willing to spend time writing. To enhance your writing experience, start with selecting the right fountain pen.

Size

Matching the size of the pen to the size of your hand is crucial. A pen that is too small or too large can feel cumbersome, requiring you to grip it harder to control, which can lead to hand fatigue and cramps.

Size also affects the portability of the fountain pen. For example, compact models like the Kaweco Liliput or Pilot Elite 95S are convenient for most users, allowing for extended use while out and about due to their portability.

Weight

Weight is also important for comfort. Some people prefer a slightly heavier pen, but lighter pens are generally better suited for extended writing sessions.

Material

The material is closely related to weight. Plastic and resin pens are lighter, while metal pens tend to be heavier. The weight of a metal pen varies depending on the specific metal used.
Metal pens are often more durable than plastic pens but are also more delicate. Unlike plastic pens, which can crack under pressure, metal pens may chip or dent due to their weight if dropped. Of course, writers who tend to lose grip may prefer the natural grip and “drop tolerance” of plastic pens.

Cap Design

Apart from retractable fountain pens like the Pilot Vanishing Point and LAMY Dialog 3, almost all fountain pens use screw caps or snap caps. Screw caps are typically more secure and prevent the nib from drying out, while snap caps allow you to start writing faster.

Price

Fountain pens are a timeless and popular writing tool, which explains the wide range of prices. Therefore, it is important to assess your budget before purchasing a fountain pen.
You can find more affordable models that offer an excellent writing experience, suitable for fountain pen beginners. On the other hand, you will also encounter extremely luxurious and well-crafted fountain pens that come at a higher price, making for a special milestone gift, especially for any avid writer.

Fountain Pen Gifts

If you’re considering giving a fountain pen as a gift, it’s important to take into account the recipient’s personality and preferences. When a friend sees a truly special, uniquely designed limited-edition fountain pen, they will undoubtedly feel the depth of your friendship.

Giving a Fountain Pen to a Loved One: Since ancient times, pens have symbolized culture, capability, and progress. Gifting a fountain pen can express your feelings for your partner, wishing that they achieve greater accomplishments in life.

Giving a Fountain Pen to an Elder: Fountain pens also symbolize nobility. When given to an elder, it typically expresses your respect for them. Furthermore, fountain pens are essential gifts in the workplace; many people give fountain pens to their bosses to congratulate them on a promotion or to wish for a smooth and successful career.

Another factor to consider is personalization, such as engraving. By having their name engraved on the pen, you transform it into a truly unique keepsake that holds special significance for them.

FAQ about Fountain Pens

.

Q: Which is more durable, fountain pen ink, rollerball pen refills, or ballpoint pen refills?
A: A rollerball pen refill typically lasts for about 30 legal-sized pages, while a ballpoint pen refill can last for around 300 pages. Fountain pens are the most economical as a 12oz bottle of ink can last nearly a year. So, the next time someone comments on your recent fountain pen purchase, you can tell them you’re saving money!

Q: How often should I clean my fountain pen, and how do I know when it’s dirty?
A: It’s best to clean your fountain pen at least once a month by removing all the old ink from the nib, but if you’re using red or green ink, it’s advisable to clean it twice a month. A decrease in writing quality is a good indicator that it needs cleaning. Remember to let the pen dry before refilling, as water and ink should not mix.

Q: How should I travel with my fountain pen on an airplane?
A: You don’t need to worry about using modern fountain pens while traveling by plane. Today’s fountain pens have sophisticated ink delivery systems and are tested to withstand cabin pressure. Just keep the pen upright when using it, and you should be fine. For antique fountain pens that use ink sacs, I recommend emptying the pen before your trip and refilling it upon arrival.

Q: Does fountain pen ink take longer to dry when writing?
A: Yes, it usually does. There are some specially formulated quick-drying inks available, and the type of paper you write on can also affect drying time. Many fountain pen inks dry within a few seconds; some inks have been tested for smudging at 1, 2, 5, and 10 seconds after writing.

Q: Do I need special paper for fountain pens?
A: No, fountain pens can be used on most regular paper. Using specialty fountain pen paper can improve your writing and reduce drying time, but it’s not absolutely necessary. It’s worth noting that fountain pens can struggle to write on plastic surfaces where ballpoint pens work well.

Q: What’s the difference between ink cartridges and converters?
A: An ink cartridge is a pre-filled tube of ink that can be used in the fountain pen and discarded after use. A converter is an empty tube that you fill with ink, allowing for repeated use.

Q: How long does an ink cartridge last?
A: This depends on the size of the ink cartridge, the nib size (broader nibs release more ink), your writing style, and the type of ink you’re using.

Q: How do I clean my fountain pen?
A: Fountain pen ink is water-based, so you can rinse it with clean water. It’s also recommended to soak the pen in clean cold water for a few hours, changing the water until all ink is removed.

Q: What are the best fountain pens for beginners?
A: We recommend the LAMY Safari and TWSBI ECO series because they are affordable, well-made, durable, and write well. They also have molded grips to help you maintain proper finger placement. They are great pens to practice with before upgrading.

Q: Do I need to replace the converter when changing ink colors?
A: No, you don’t need a new converter for each color of ink you use, but you should rinse it with water before switching to new ink.

Q: If I have a pen with a converter, can I use the same converter for different colors of ink? Do I need to clean the converter when using different colored inks?
A: You do not need a new converter for each ink color, but you should clean the pen before using new ink. Since fountain pen ink is water-based, over time, water evaporates, leaving behind dye or pigment residue. It’s a good habit to rinse the pen, especially when switching to a different color or a new brand of ink. Even if you use separate converters for different inks, you will still need to clean the nib, feed, and converter. If you leave an old converter idle without cleaning, the ink can dry inside.

Cleaning or “flushing” your fountain pen is a simple process that takes just a few minutes. This process not only removes old ink residue from the converter but also cleans the nib and the pen itself. This keeps the ink flowing properly, extending the life and effectiveness of your pen. Even if you repeatedly use the same ink in a fountain pen, it’s best to rinse it occasionally to remove any build-up of particles. If you haven’t used your fountain pen for long periods, it’s advisable to clean it to prevent ink from drying inside, which can make cleaning much more difficult.

While fountain pens require more maintenance than ballpoints, they offer more options in terms of ink selection and line variation, creating a unique writing experience like no other writing tool.

Conclusion

Do you find fountain pens complicated? Do you feel there are many variables affecting your writing experience? The nib is one of the most important components of a fountain pen and has the most significant impact on your overall writing experience and the appearance of your handwriting. Choosing the right nib for your writing style is not an easy decision, but it is very important. Selecting a nib that is not suited to your writing style can not only make your handwriting look bad but can even lead to a dislike of using a fountain pen. So, take some time to do some research and put thought into your nib selection—this way, once you have it, you won’t be able to stop writing with your new fountain pen.

Shopping for a fountain pen is a matter of personal preference, just like most things in life. When buying a fountain pen, you should consider your preferences while ensuring the price is within your budget. Try out different models to see which feels best when writing; guides or opinions from others can certainly be used as references.

You also need to find a fountain pen that looks great and suits your personality. There are many classic fountain pen models available, with different brands each having their unique features, so you are sure to find a stylish and timeless fountain pen.

Take this opportunity to purchase a beloved fountain pen, rediscover your passion for writing, and enjoy this unique pleasure!
