Great for journals

Narrow profile fits well into journal pen loops. This is a very very smooth writer, and pairs well with PRI infinity ink. Standard converter big plus. Only small nit I have is the sound it makes when posting, it sounds a bit grating and it doesn't seem to secure when posted.

Excellent carry pen

There are plenty of candidates for everyday carry pens. To this point, I had focused mostly on the former quality and settled on the Esterbrook Model J for long writing and note-taking sessions and the Esterbrook Estie with the Journaler nib for correspondence and journaling. The Pilot Custom 912 (FM nib) and the Esterbrook Camden (mini stub nib) are also favorites.

But, I had a persistent annoyance. Whenever I carried any of them in my shirt pocket, it spent most of the day (when I wasn't using it) sliding from in front of my phone to behind my phone. It also made getting my phone in and out of my pocket inconvenient.

The Diplomat Traveller rides in to the rescue.

Most pens that are slender enough to fit in alongside a phone are too small for a converter. Inking with cartridges makes ink choices far too limited.

But, the Traveller both fits well in my pocket and uses a standard international converter. The Jowo #5 nib is plenty smooth, even with a fine point.

In short, just what I was looking for right now.

What an absolutely lovely little writer! So smooth, and writes under its own weight. Would recommend. 💜

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is 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!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is 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.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

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.
