Awesome fountain pen.

great weight balance

I have small hands and I can write for extended periods with this pen because the unposted weight balance is so close to the nib. The pen itself is beautiful and ink flows smoothly.

Diplomat Aero Fountain Pen

I am very satisfied with this pen. If I could do this all over again would I still purchase this pen? The answer is definitely yes. The thing I like best is the cap. It just pulls off verses a screw cap. So capping and uncapping is easy. My pen has the medium nib and writes very nice. It is a little heavier than other pens but, while writing I don't notice it and it is not a concern. It's one of my favorite pens.

Beautiful Pen. Terribly Scratchy Nib.

This pen is beautiful. I got it in the green color. I like my ink to match, so I use it with Herbin Lierre Sauvage ink. I love an extra fine nib. They usually compliment my handwriting and writing style. This nib is SUPER scratchy. The ink does not flow well. I have cleaned out the nib, let it dry, refilled the pen so many times. I was desperate and started drawing circles on the finest grit sand paper to shop the nib a bit. It helped a little. It drives me crazy that I have to do it at all. I should have returned the pen right when I first got it, but it is just so darn pretty and nicely weighted. I really wish it wrote more smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
