FPR Ambassador Ultra Flex Nib Fountain Pen Set, Burgundy - Refillable Pen with Cartridges & Converters - Calligraphy Pens for Writing, Journaling & Gifting - Luxury Pens for Smooth

I was mildly surprised by the solid build and heft of this pen. It feels like a $1000 pen and the nib performs very well. Have had no dry-outs yet. Complete opposite of the more expensive Pelikan M200 I recently bought which is so lightweight and cheap feeling I wonder if its a fake (I'm sure it's not). This FPR pen is more like my heavy Waterman or Lamy2000 weight. The flex nib is fairly stiff yet softer than Noodlers flex nib, so varying line width is a little easier with the FPR but it takes so little pressure to write with it's still easy to use as a Fine nib. I'll be buying more for sure.

The pen arrived in simple packaging, and was exactly as described. First impressions are of a well-made and stylish product. The pen has a nice feel and is particularly nice to use with the cap securely posted. Filling was straight forward (used Montblanc Burgundy) and the pen initially wrote well - smooth but with some feedback. The nib has a distinctive sweet spot. However, as I tried to use the flex features of the nib I encountered 'train tracks' and disappointingly some subsequent drying up, even during 'normal' use. I will experiment further with different inks and paper to see if the issue can be resolved. Otherwise this would have been a clear 5 star rating.

Ótima caneta. Consegui traços finos e grossos, sem falhas de tinta na escrita.

Der Füller scheint sehr schön zu schreiben, zum Flexen muss man schon sehr aufdrücken. Bei der Artikelbeschreibung war Versand innerhalb 2-3 Werktagen angegeben, in der Bestellbestätigungs-Mail wurde dann eine Lieferung nach 2 Wochen angekündigt. Dies wurde dann sogar um einen Tag unterboten, ABER da es sich bei dem Versender um einen Shop aus Großbritannien handelt, musste ich bei der Lieferung (durch DHL) an der Haustüre noch 10,06 € Zollgebühren bezahlen. Davon stand in der Artikelbeschreibung leider nichts!

De FPR Ambassador is een vlot schrijvende vulpen met een elegante uitstraling. De extra flexibele penpunt vraagt iets meer druk dan verwacht, wat het flexen minder spontaan maakt. De meegeleverde converter is een handig en gewaardeerd extraatje.
