The TWSBI ECO fountain pen boasts an incredible value with its piston filling system and affordable price. Like many other TWSBI fountain pens, it features a crystal clear acrylic barrel so you can see your ink level, and a clear cap. The pen cap has an inner cap to ensure a perfect seal when stored away. It is completed with silver trim and a silver stainless steel nib.

TWSBI's belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.

Few issues

I got my pen and so far I really like it but the nib is a little scratchy and the cap won’t stay on the rear end. It falls off all the time and that really bothers me other then that it’s an okay pen I’m not a fan of the fine nib at the moment so I ordered a medium nib and will see if that’s better.. I can’t up load a video how the cap just falls off, sorry

Great value for the price....

For the price, the TWSBI-ECO is hard to beat. My recent purchase completes my collection: broad, medium, and now, a fine nib. Easy to fill and maintain. Writing experience is excellent, nothing fancy, just reliable and fun to write with. Super value for the price.

Loved It Enough to Buy Another

The TWSBI ECO was actually the first fountain pen I ordered, but I got too excited to wait for it to arrive and ended up ordering a couple of Pilot Kakunos from Amazon first. After using those, the ECO immediately felt smoother, easier to fill, and overall more satisfying to write with. The piston filler is simple to use and the pen just feels more substantial in the hand. I liked the medium nib so much that I already ordered another one with a broad nib.

Love my 5th TWSBI ECO!

Thank you to Brian Goulet for recommending the TWSBI ECO (and allowed me to return another more expensive pen that I broke trying to figure out). I am the proud owner of 5 of these fountain pens. I use them for drawing, for text, and sometimes for filling in small areas in a painting. Goulet Pens sets an example for small businesses, with its quick service and knowledgeable staff.

Love it with stub nib

I had used stub nibs from other brands but this is the smoothest most responsive yet. On top the quality clear glass feel and look and large ink capacity. Just beautiful value. This is going to be my everyday pen.

TWSBI Eco

I own a TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR and have recently purchased from Goulet Pen a TWSBI Eco. I've been using the Eco as my daily writer for about a week. I am a novelist (books on Amazon). I write a lot every day.

Like all the pens sold by Goulet, TWSBI pens are well-made and designed to write. The Eco has a very smooth steel nib. Ink flows beautifully. My Eco has a clear body. Ink consumption is obvious.
All of my dealings with Goulet over the years have been exceptional. Of the many sources for fountain pens on the internet, Goulet is always professional, prompt, and a useful source of accurate pen knowledge.

If you don't have one, buy a TWSBI from Goulet. You will love the pen and the experience.

My first real entry into fountain pens

My first real entry into fountain pens. Have been using a 1.1 I got from a retail store for awhile but a lot bothered me about it with that being ink reservoir and the quality of the pen. Before my pen was a $10 bargain bin find and the quality reflected that and the included cartridges just were not cutting it for me as with a 1.1 I found myself replacing them more than I would like. This pen solved all of that. Feels great to hold due to the materials with the nib quality being leagues better than my old one and with this pen holding an absurd amount of ink it makes for a pen I don't have to worry about (plus the clear body makes it easy to see the level).

Enjoying mine so far

Bought mine in broad. I'd say Goulet's nib swatches are on point. It's a bold line, but not as bold as the 580 or Jowo #6 in broad, possibly thinner than medium. It's still a good pen so far, my only complaint is that I wish there was a better way of judging if the cap is tight enough. It goes from loose to a slight resistance, to more resistance, then abruptly stops. I don't want to crack the pen at the cap threads, so I've been stopping right at the start of the "mid" resistance area.

With confidence

The person I spoke to was extremely intelligent in answering my questions, regarding an architect nib in a TWSBI pen, which doesn’t exist. He was also helpful in educating me on a 1.1mm nib, which I purchased in a TWSBI ECO. I’m happy with the pen, it’s my second, and the nib. These people know their business.

It’s a Twsbi eco what can I say. I didn’t think I would like the clear as much as I do, but I love that it goes with any color I want to put into it.

Amazing for the price

Followed up my first order with a second for this TWSBI ECO clear in extra fine. Writes great, maybe slightly heavier than the Diamond 580 of my first order. Can't beat the value of this as a demonstrator with a piston fill. Will be getting more ECOs for sure.

Just what I need

I don't like to repeat myself. But when I was looking for a relatively inexpensive pen that I could use for book signings, leaving ink in it between signing events, that would be easily replaceable if I dropped it somewhere (ask me why I worry about that!), the Eco came right to mind. The M nib is super smooth so far and signing with a fountain pen, let alone a clear one!, and some document ink is always a conversation starter, as well.

Olivia

Stunning pen. I love the inking mechanism. So unique and makes refilling your pen 100 times easier! Im a big time journaler and writer so this pen is amazing for long hours (especially since the pen holds so much ink) F nib is perfect for me. Not too fine and not too thick.

This is my first fountain pen and I really enjoying writing with it

This is my first fountain pen and I really enjoying writing with it. I wasn't sure where to start, but Goulet Pens had the Twsbi eco in a bundle with ink and a notepad, I am very happy with it!

I underestimated this pen.

This is one of the cheaper pens I've purchased, but it's surprised me. I bought Clear with an Ex-Fine nib. Filling it was very easy, self contained without any disassembly. I wiped the nib and started writing immediately. The extra fine is a bit scratchy on all the papers I've tried it on, but it's growing on me. I find it a bit charming now, especially because the lines are sharp and clear, so crisp and thin I can't quite get over them. I put Noodler's Baystate Blue in it and it looks like liquid sapphire. I think this is a great "casual event" type pen that's best with a fun color ink. I don't think I would take it to formal events or business meetings because it's very easy to see the liquid ink moving around and that would distract from the gravitas.

Excelent

Excellent fountain pen — I highly recommend it for anyone interested in getting started in this world.

I wasnt lucky

I thought it was just feedback but then it started to cut through the paper. After examining the nib under my loupe, I found out the nib was misaligned. It took some time to get it aligned again. Repairing a fountain pen is something new but took this negative situation as a learning opportunity. its working now at least to the way i hold the pen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

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 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.
