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

Barrel - lid issues. Nib was a little scratchy but corrected after minor adjustment. Ultraflex nib provides subtle but noticeable line variation with light pressure. FPR offered free barrel and lid with next order. Fantastic support.

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.

Boa construção. E pena levemente flexível. Se você usa penas copperplate, cuidado, é ela é "dura" se comparada a estas penas de mergulho. Ela flexiona o suficiente para gerar o contraste de espessura, mas a velocidade de escrita deve ser controlada. Trilhos de trem aparecem facinho se o fluxo na ponta superar o da base. Questão de praticar . Para uso normal é uma bela caneta e escrever suave.

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.
