In 1999 Monteverde USA® was founded in Canoga Park, California USA with the intention to create writing instruments that feature unparalleled quality, function, and affordable luxury.

A true classic, the Innova™ is one of the first (in a long line of) innovative pens to be designed under the Monteverde USA® name. This Innova is made of Fiberglass, a reinforced plastic material composed of fine glass fibers woven into fabric or used as strands, then combined with resin to create a strong, lightweight, and durable composite. It is widely valued for its strength, versatility, and resistance to environmental factors, making it a popular material across numerous industries.

Advantages of Using Fiberglass in Pens:
- Lightweight yet durable – Stronger than plastic while being lighter than metal, offering a balanced feel.
- Corrosion-resistant – Unlike metal pens, fiberglass won’t rust or tarnish over time.
- Temperature resistant – Doesn’t get too hot or cold like metal pens, making it comfortable for long writing sessions.

This is a Goulet Pens-exclusive special edition release in the blue color Sapphire!

A stainless steel nib is individually hand-fitted to each fountain pen, intricately cut for maximum performance. Stunning and sleek, each Innova has the perfect flair, whether it is for a formal occasion, business, or casual setting.

The Monteverde Innova fountain pen is offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 silver steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, 1.1mm stub, or the JoWo 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.

It fills via standard international converter or ink cartridge, both of which are included.

The Monteverde Fiberglass - Sapphire is a wonderful pen, it looks and writes fantastic!!!

Colorful, Flashy, and Writes Perfectly

I think this must be the best made-in-USA fountain pen at this price point. And backed by Monteverde's lifetime warranty (check their website to make sure this is still in effect at the time you order).

It is less expensive than their other Innovas, and it doesn't quite match the fit and finish of my more expensive Carbon Fiber Innova, but I still love it. I got the blue color to use with Monteverde Confidence Blue ink, which is my favorite blue ink of all time. The pen writes just as perfectly as my 4 other Innovas.

What you don't see in the photos is that the fiberglass catches and reflects light in an angle-dependent "dazzle" that animates as the pen moves around. It is a much more showy pen than my more expensive Carbon Fiber and Formula M Innovas.

I am getting ready to buy more Innovas.

Attention Monteverde: I would love to see these special edition Innovas put into regular production with gunmetal trim and black nibs rather than silver! I missed getting the green one and now they are all gone.

Since other people commented on not liking the **** in converter. First, I love it. It prevents the converter being pulled out and spilling ink by accident. Second, if you don't like it, get yourself a Schmitt international converter, which is the same except it does not have the threads. I haven't tried it, but they supposedly work just fine. (Check with Monteverde or Goulet on that before trusting online reviewers!)

Most pleased!

First of all, blue is my favorite color! The pen feels great in my hand and is well-balanced. I'm pleased that I purchased it.

Writes smoothly

Writes smoothly, no scratching. Pleasant balance when capped. I like the ****-in converter.

Punches above its weight!

This was an unexpected Christmas gift, I'd never considered the Innova before. This pen has everything I like, weight without being heavy, a threaded converter, juicy medium nib and interesting material. Icing on the cake is the price, now I want all the colors!

My best pen purchase of 2025

This is a beautifully well crafted fountain pen. A very smooth, wet writer with no skips or hard starts. I love that the cap snaps onto both ends of the pen, making a very secured posted experience. The pen is well balanced and the Omniflex nib a joy to write with. I love the feel of the fiberglass, it's smooth and not cold to the touch.

Great pen

Great pen. Don't care for headed convertor

Can’t Recommend

Very stylish, but a few issues. The Fine nib would be Medium on my other pens, so I then ordered a Very Fine nib for an extra $24. Also, posting the cap makes it too backheavy, and it unfortunately spins freely with no snugness at all. I’ve decided to just keep it, but if I had tried it in person, I would have passed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fountain pen come with a converter?

Yes, a converter is included with this fountain pen!

How do I use a converter?

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?

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.
