Bottom Shelf: This pen has been gently used, but is otherwise in great shape. While every effort to clean these pens is made, you might see residual ink or water, as they are not brand new. All Bottom Shelf sales are final.
Introducing a new Goulet-exclusive, special edition fountain pen collection! The Monteverde Prima is back but this time with a new twist: a built-in piston mechanism.
This Prima Piston fountain pen features a clear ink barrel so you can see your ink and the piston mechanism at work, complemented by a semi-translucent purple marbled resin cap. It is completed with rose-gold plated trim and a matching nib.
Paired with an expertly designed plasma-treated feed system, the pen delivers consistent, reliable ink flow, ensuring rich and even lines without skipping or blotting, regardless of your writing speed or style.
The pen features an integrated piston-filling mechanism that allows for effortless ink refilling directly from an ink bottle, eliminating the need for cartridges and making the pen eco-friendly. The large ink reservoir, made of polycarbonate resin, ensures ample ink capacity, reducing the need for frequent refilling and making it perfect for extensive writing sessions.
The Prima is fitted with a finely crafted #6 premium German-made JoWo nib, renowned for its precision and silky smooth writing experience. The rose gold-plated steel nibs are offered in six distinctive point sizes: extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, 1.1mm stub, and finally the Omniflex flexible steel nib for variation in line width.
Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow.
