TWSBI Diamond 580 AL R Prussian Blue Fountain Pen
The TWSBI Diamond 580 is an attractive demonstrator pen with piston filler mechanism. Its faceted barrel catches light and makes your ink shine, and it also helps keep the pen from rolling away. The new 580AL comes matte aluminum finish machined grip, connector, and piston rod, subtle details on the grip and cap.
The high-capacity piston filling mechanism is easily operated by twisting the knob at the end of the barrel counter-clockwise to extend the piston, submerging the nib in ink, then screwing the knob tight to retract the piston, drawing ink into the pen straight from the bottle—no need for cartridges or a converter! Be careful, operating the piston while ink is in the pen will cause ink to leak out of the pen.
The pen comes in an attractive clear plastic case with a clean, modern design. For protection, the plastic case is packaged in a cardboard box.
Note: This pen only uses bottled ink, which is not included with this pen.
TWSBI's belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.
A quick no brainer guide in choosing nib sizes in an overly complicated fountain pen world:
- If you write small, go with an EF
- For the normal writer, F is the most popular
- If you tend to lean on a bigger font, M will be perfect
- B is for statements!! Sign a check in B, write a header in B, do some coloring/shading in B
- Stub nibs are italic in writing style (have a special card or invitation to write?)
