Pilot Corporation of America and Goulet Pens proudly presents our exclusive, limited edition Pilot Vanishing Point to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Goulet Pens! This pen truly means a lot to us, and we hope the design represents that. The GPC anniversary pen features a striking ombre gradient that goes from pink, to blue, to teal. We loved incorporating our Goulet Pens brand colors into this design! 

Limited to just 275 individually numbered pieces, this Vanishing Point is a testament to Pilot's dedication to exquisite craftsmanship and innovative design.

This fountain pen comes with a retractable 18k gold nib - just click to expose or retract the nib, as well as matching black trim. A hidden trap door helps keep the nib from drying out when not in use. A Pilot CON-40 converter is included with this pen, as well as a Pilot ink cartridge.

A metal cartridge cap is also included for use with the ink cartridge. Each Vanishing Point fountain pen is beautifully merchandised in a special gift box, and is individually numbered along the pen's centerband.

Unfortunately we are unable to honor special requests for numbers, as the box itself is not labeled.

A practical thing of beauty

I have long wanted a VP, and I'm very pleased this was my first. The pen is gorgeous, the colors are vibrant and the black hardware sets it off perfectly.

The pen's mechanism is smooth to activate. Adding a cartridge vs convertor was a simple task with the included cartridge cap - and I'm glad to have that protection so I don't end up with a busted cartridge and ink everywhere!

The extra-fine nib doesn't feel scratchy and handles well even on cheap paper. I worried the clip would be hard for me to handle at the base of the pen, but the clip is thin enough that it doesn't interfere with my finger placement. It is still sturdy enough to be clipped onto a notebook or planner (mine lives on my Rhodia weekly planner).

My favorite VP

This fountain pen is a dream and it looks just as radiant in real life as it does in the photos. By developing this with Pilot, the Goulets have given themselves and us a wonderful gift. Congratulations on your anniversary and keep it up!

Special vanishing point

It’s a beautiful pen and I’m glad I got it. I don’t usually use fine nibs, but given this year’s issues with Sanzen Tomoe River paper, thought I’d give it a try - no regrets. This is a great addition to my VP collection. I was surprised there wasn’t some personal touch (note or little extra) included in the box acknowledging the company’s anniversary and the premium nature of this product. A missed opportunity to make the purchaser feel appreciated for helping celebrate the company’s milestone.

Beautiful pen - congratulations

Congratulations to the Goulet’s on this amazing milestone. Beautiful VP in person and such a big moment for the company which makes it even more special to own given the educational videos is what set off my love for fountain pens.

Side note: Was hoping for a personal note from the Goulet’s given this achievement but that was just my personal expectations nothing to do with the pen.

FAQs about Fountain Pens

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 a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

How often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

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.

My pen won’t write! What do I do? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.

We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.

If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed. 

If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help! 

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

You can submit a return request within 30 days of your order date. You can read all our Return Policies here.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
