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 an opaque indigo blue cap and finial. The pen cap has an inner cap to ensure a perfect seal when stored away. It is completed with bronze trim and a bronze-colored 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.

This is without a doubt my new favorite pen.

This is without a doubt my new favorite pen. The nib is smooth as butter across the page and the size and balance is just right for my hands. It just feel so comfortable to write with this pen. And the fact that it’s a demonstrator and in a gorgeous color combination is just icing on the cake! For the price, I can’t recommend this pen enough. Amazing.

This is my 1st TWSBI

This is my 1st TWSBI, and I immediately bought a 2!: because of how much I loved it. It’s smooth. It doesn’t skip. The amount of ink it holds is amazing. And the colors of the pen are beautiful.

Tremendous Pen

I already owned a transparent TWSBI ECO with Black Trim, but was so impressed with it I decided I wanted a separate one for sketching. I sought a transparent fountain pen with an extra fine nib and some personal touches. This was my selection (after many amazing choices), and I could not have been more pleased. Thank you, Goulet Pens and TWSBI.

TWSBI Eco indigo & bronze

I want to love this pen, it's beautiful. I originally ordered with an M nib. I found it too wide so ordered another with an F nib. Unfortunately, the F writes just like the M. I've tried different inks, but still writes like an M nib.

Great Pen Overall

I'd give 4.9/5.0 if I could! This was my first fountain pen and I love that it's engineered so well. This would make a great first pen, and seems like it would withstand a fair amount of wear and tear, though there are only a few accents on the pen that seem to be metal, the rest seems to be plastic. This makes it lighter and hints at a higher level of quality than an average pen, but I doubt it would withstand too high a drop, not that I'm going to try.

For me, the only downside is the pocket clip - it sits very close to the body of the pen, so I have to pinch the clip from the sides and lift it slightly to provide enough clearance to hook it over the lip of my pocket. If they added about 1-2mm more clearance to allow it to be clipped into a pocket one-handed I'd give this a 5/5, but as it stands I can't slide it securely into my pocket with one hand.

For contrast, I also have a Scriveiner EDC (Copper) and its clip has more clearance (about 1-2mm), allowing me to hook the clip over the lip of my pocket with one hand, making it more convenient as an everyday pen.

Fun times!

I have been wanting to pick up a TWSBI for a long time. When I saw the Indigo Blue ECO with Bronze trim: I had to pull the trigger.

Truth is, I am one of those that as a pen seems to be drier than it should be, waning on the amount of ink laid down, I tend to bleed the air out of a cartridge converter.

The TWSBI ECO tends to run dry and I don't dare bleed the air out and leave it for obvious reasons. Also, I will need to tune the nib some as it seems to be on the scratchy side. But for the nib, I may have given it five stars. I may revise it after I have been able to work with the nib some.

My Twsbi eco has exceeded my expectations. The quality and design is amazing also to mention that it is a very nice feel when writing.

Lovely, Lovely Pen!!!!

I just received this pen from Goulet today. First, their packages are always a joy; my grape mini tootsie pop was delicious, and I got to eat it on Halloween! This pen is so lovely. The blue is rich and actually a bit darker in person than in the photos. The bronze accents are a beautiful contrast to the dark blue! My Colorverse eXtreme deep field ink will match perfectly with the pen. So far, I have used a new sample of Robert Oster Caffe Crema in my 1.1mm stub pen, and although I am not in love with the ink color, the pen makes me want to keep writing. I sorely needed this pen and am overjoyed that I bought it!

Great as usual with Twsbi

Nice writer as with all twsbi eco pens, I ordered an EF thinking it would be more like the EF on the 580 but it is not as thin a line. That's not a big problem just pointing that fact out here. I enjoy using the pen.

Beautiful edition of Eco

The TWSBI Eco is a workhorse fountain pen, and this special release really pops the pen's aesthetics without masking any of the functional parts. The matching nib is an especially nice touch, as otherwise there's not much of the bronze trim on the body of the pen (which I prefer to use unposted).

Love this pen and stub nib

I really like the 1.1 stub nib on this. It levers a good sized line to show the shimmer in the ink I put in the pen

First Big Boy pen

This was my first big boy fountain pen; I've gotten hand-me-downs and tried a few of my friends', but never really understood the hype until I got this one, and holy cow, I understand now. This is my new favorite pen, and I only use it for my journal because my actual nightmare is my coworker taking it home, and I wouldn't know what to do. Writing is fun again, and I love getting to see how much ink is inside my pen so it's not a guessing game anymore.

TWSBI hasn’t failed me yet! Sometimes I find

TWSBI hasn’t failed me yet! Sometimes I find extra fine nibs too “scratchy” for my liking but this brand has one of the smoothest extra fine nibs in my experience (out of the box) it basically gives you crisper lines while having the feel of a medium nib

Perfect beginner and daily use pen!

I write all the time - for my job, my hobbies, my correspondences. This pen covers all my bases! Besides, it was the pen that got me into fountain pens. Simple and sturdy enough for (heavy-handed) beginners, but has nice features for a great price, which is why I came back to it. Writes smoothly and holds a lot of ink - even writing multiple pages daily, I generally refill only once a week. I love the way that you can see your ink color and level through the clear barrel. There's so many color options that you could find one for anyone! Highly, highly recommend. Thanks Goulet and TWISBI!

Nice Pen From TWSBI!

This TWSBI ECO fountain pen has a lot going for it. It holds a lot of ink and the ink supply is always visible. The fine nib on this pen writes surprisingly smoothly and the piston filling mechanism works well. This pen has been very reliable and I have yet to experience a skip or hard start with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo ink. The threaded-on cap seals the pen quite well and I have not noticed any evaporation or leakage of the ink supply. The TWSBI ECO does everything a good pen should do at an attainable price.

Beautiful Pen

I ordered the indigo blue color with a medium nib and it looks so pretty, I love it. It writes and shows off my shimmer ink beautifully. Writing with it is super satisfying. Thank you!

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.
