  This review is about ink color: -, ink color: Black, line width: Medium

  Best pen ever made!! Considering all factors, not even 1000+€ pens can achieve such greatness. It's gonna last a lifetime and it's the best investment a writer can make.

  Specs:
  1. 14K Gold Stiff Nib No.15
  2. Resin Transparent Body
  3. Vacuum Filler
  4. Dual Reservoir with 2.2ml ink Capacity

  I recommend the Amber Acrylic Color and the Broad or Medium size nibs. Broad ones have a better experience of both writing and final look, but require great quality paper (Clairefontaine, Rhodia, Midori MD), and a high understanding of ink control. Fine nibs are way too fine and more scratchy, so it's a no for sure!

  It's important to know that you shouldn't change the first ink that you fill the pen with, so that you don't risk messing up with the high quality of ink flow. I recommend the Pilot Iroshizuku inks that are reliable and have a perfect result with multiple color options and no risks.

  When writing, you should keep the back cap a little bit unlocked, so that ink flows from the back to the front reservoir and finally to the nib.

  There is no need for pressure to the nib, as there is no flex and it's a smoother experience and you keep it light and simple.

  For full filling with ink, there is a need for a special technique with 2 tries. You fill with 1 try, almost the 2/3. You open the mechanism again, you turn the pen upside-down and slowly push the ink up till you almost reach the point that the boom happens and the ink enters. Before that point, you have created a vacuum capable enough of filling with more ink, without letting the previous one out.

  You should note that by using the vacuum filling mechanism with ink inside, the ink will be blown out, so avoid it and only do that in the case of full filling or cleaning.

  To clean the reservoirs you should use good quality filtered water and fill the empty reservoirs with it multiple times to completely remove any ink remains.

  Enjoy and always prefer quality, as it advances productivity!!
