Customer Reviews
I purchased the Collier in antique marble with a medium nib. It does not post and at first the pen felt a little short and the section small. But the more I use this pen the more I like it; after using it every day for about two weeks, I find it to be very comfortable.
The acrylic is beautiful and the build quality is excellent. The medium nib writes very well, even though I’ve experienced a few hard starts and skips, which may be due to the ink I’m using.
I’m very satisfied with the quality of this pen and the writing experience it provides.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Excellent nib, smooth writing, consistent flow, perfect shape and balance, beautiful resin. A joy to use every single time.
I've had this pen for a couple years and my son used it just to try it out. He liked the scale of it. So I purchased it for him for his birthday, he loves it. He likes the feel of it. I know that it doesn't dry up if you don't use it for a few days and that it writes like a champ in medium, lays down a nice wet line. Plus the resin is very attractive. Has a little flash, but isn't a canival of colors. Thanks
Very enjoyable pen. This is one of the pens I write with every day.
I have several Colliers so Obviously I really like the model. But this Antique Marble is one of the most stunning ones. It is somewhat translucent in spots making it almost glow in the light. And I have a 1.5 mm nib on it. I am surprised and pleased at how smooth this nib is. I have had no hard starts or skipping at all. And it puts down a nice quantity of ink without being too wet. I put Diamine Ancient Copper ink in it. It's a very nice match. This pen is very comfortable and light. I love the thickness of it. Edison makes some of my very favorite pens. The quality is outstanding. I have never, ever had a nib from them that is not at the least, close to being a perfect writer, though I have never purchased a fine or extra fine. This is a gorgeous writer.
FAQs about Fountain Pens
How do I fill a fountain pen with ink?
It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above.
Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:
- Cartridge - A 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! Check out our quick guide here.
- Converter - 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. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
- Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
- Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
- Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.
Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.
How do I clean a fountain pen?
It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck.
It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:
How often do I need to clean my fountain pen?
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.
My pen won’t write! What do I do?
First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.
We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.
If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed.
If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help!
