Now Available: Pen Storage

If you’re looking for ways to protect your fountain pens when you store them at home or when you want to take them outside, our new Pen Storage products are perfect for you.

Fountain Pen Storage Solutions

Some collectors store their pens in the original cases. That’s a pretty good solution. The problem with original pen cases is that they take too much space.

Another popular pen storage solution is custom made pen cases. Some pen cases work as a storage and a display solution and can store up to 20, 50 or even 100 fountain pens.

Those fountain pen cases tend to be beautiful and a perfect solution, but they’re also expensive.

That’s why some collectors store their pens unprotected in drawers. The problem with storing any pen in a drawer is that sooner or later, the pen will get some scratches or even some cracks.

Drawers are practical, but without anything to protect each of your fountain pens, it’s just a matter of time before your pen gets damaged.

A simple and cheap pen storage solution are pen sleeves. Pen sleeves are not the most glamorous solution in the market. But they are cheap and effective.

Thinking about their practicability, we just added fountain pen sleeves on Inexpens store. These are simple black pen sleeves, durable and easy to use.

They’re perfect to protect your pens from scratches or dents, so if you store your pens in a drawer, if you use these pen sleeves you’ll protect your pens from the most common types of damages.

You can also use these pen sleeves on the go. Instead of dropping your fountain pen on your bag, use one of these sleeves to protect your fountain pen body from scratches.

Introducing The Standard Fountain Pen Ink Converters

If you’re still using pen cartridges, our Standard Fountain Pen Ink Converters might become your fountain pen best friend.

Why Do You Need a Standard Fountain Pen Ink Converter?

With an ink converter, you can use any bottled ink on your fountain pen. Bottled ink is cheapest and is available in a widest range of shades.

Fountain pen ink converters are also perfect to clean up your pen. You can fill them with water or with a fountain pen cleaning solution, and clean your nib and feed easily.

When to replace a fountain pen ink converter?

If you’re already using a converter and your pen is working well, there’s no need to replace the converter. A converter lasts a long time, and if your converter is no longer working properly you’ll notice it.

If your fountain pen is leaking, or you’re noticing a poor ink flow or the pen simply skips often, clean your converter and take a close look to it. If there’s a crack on it, that might be the cause of your problems, and only then it’s time to replace your converter.

What type of ink converter should you use?

Most brands sell their own ink converters, so if you’re a fan of a popular brand, you can go with their own converter. I personally prefer standard international converters like the ones we sell in InexPens for the simple reason that they fit the most popular brands, and they’re also cheaper. If you’re looking to save some money or plan to use your converters in multiple pens in the future, standard converters are a great choice.

Our converters can be used with most popular fountain pen manufacturers, including Baoer, Caran d’Ache, Conklin, Conway Stewart, Delta, Edison, Faber Castell, Jinhao, Kaweco, Montblanc, Montegrappa, Monteverde, Omas, Pelikan, Rotring, Schmidt, TWSBI, Visconti, Waterman and Yard O Led.

For a full compatibility list please check the full specs on the link below.

How To Personalize Your Fountain Pen

Writing with a beautiful fountain pen is a pleasure. Besides holding and writing smoothly, you can also have the possibility of writing with a wide range of colors. This makes fountain pens extremely versatile and flexible to your own needs and preferences.

In case you still haven’t found the right ink color for you, check out our amazing fountain pen ink samples or, if you prefer, use an ink cartridge instead.

However, there are other things that you can do to make your beautiful fountain pen unique.

Pen Engraving

More and more fountain pen lovers are opting for engraving their fountain pens. While this is usually seen as something that you can do when you want to offer a special fountain pen to someone, the truth is that you can do it for yourself as well.

From engraving a signature, a name, a date or even your business logo, you can have it all. In case you’re thinking about offering a personalized fountain pen to someone, this is definitely something that you should consider doing. However, there are some aspects that you should consider before the engraving:

#1: When The Name Is Just Too Long:

When you are looking to personalize your fountain pen with a name and this name is too long, you should opt for the initials instead. As a rule of thumb, you should engrave more than 15 to 20 characters including spaces on the pen. However, it also depends on the fountain pen size.

Discover the best fountain pens.

#2: Choosing A Beautiful Font Style:

The font choice is also another aspect that you should consider. The reality is that with so many different fonts to choose from, it can be a bit tricky to find the best one. However, ultimately, you need to think about the style that best suits the fountain pen and the person you are offering the pen.

#3: Using A Period:

When you want to personalize your fountain pen with a name, many people wonder if they should use a period in the end or not. While this is a personal choice, in our opinion, we believe that you should go without a period.

#4: Choose Something Meaningful:

When you are thinking about personalizing your fountain pen, you need to think about the right message to engrave. While engraving a name or initials is always a good idea, let’s say that you are celebrating your wedding anniversary, for example. In this case, you may opt for the date instead of the name. Or use the date and the couple’s initials, for example.

Different Nibs

When you are looking to personalize your fountain pen in an easy way, there is nothing better than changing the nib of the fountain pen.

In case you just started using fountain pens, you need to know that there are different nib types that you can choose from.

Discover the different nib types.

When you are considering changing the nib to personalize your fountain pen, the first thing that you need to do is to discover the type of your original nib. Then, you can simply choose the size that you prefer. While some people prefer thinner nibs, there are others who prefer large stub nibs.
