"Got it an the pen writes
exquisitely." [Referencing the Omniflex nib]
"I really like those Monza pens!" (He just purchased #s 2, 3 and 4). H. A., Crystal Lake, IL
"Dear Norman, the Monteverde Monza and Tool pens
arrived today. The quality of the Monza is much higher than I expected, and it
writes a beautifully consistent line. I would not hesitate recommending this
pen to anyone. While I am aware that the pen may be used as an eyedropper
filler, I have chosen the converter for now, and that is working just fine.
The Tool pen is at the other end of
the spectrum, being a heavier and very sturdy pen. While I do not wish to
demean the writing quality of the Monza, the nib on the Tool Pen is really a
dream to use. The quality of these nibs certainly belies the price points of
both pens. With all the “extras” that this pen contains, I will be keeping it
in my brief case for various emergency fixes. As always, Norman, I know the
TLC you give these nibs has much to do with the pleasant experiences we
receive from your pens. That extra effort is most appreciated, for I know it
is time consuming and delicate work. Thanks also for the relaxed
professionalism of your videos. They are informative and helpful, and I find
them very restful. Best wishes for the New Year!"

"Hi Norman, the repair worked beautifully! The polish is barely visible or tangible, and it’s keeping the ink just where it should be. Thanks so much for your help on it! And thanks once again for providing such great products with your impeccable service. The Hero 616 is amazingly smooth for such a fine nib (and it’s one of the finest I’ve ever used). It will serve very well for marking my drafts and my students’ as I’d hoped it would. The Monza is a great new find as well. It’s good to see Monteverde getting serious about entry-level ones, and the demonstrator look combined with the easy-glide nib makes this a very fun pen to use—and watch! The clear feed is also helpful for making sure I’ve got enough saturation to get right down to writing, and the PR Chocolat looks great in it. Thanks once again, and have a lovely holiday season! Cheers,"

Special Edition Jolly Green - Fountain Pen w/ Omniflex™ Nib
The Crystal Clear is obviously a full demonstrator, with the ink readily apparent under all lighting conditions. What's really nice is that the other three versions can also easily show ink level when held in front of a backlight of some sort.
Crystal Clear Calligraphy Set (1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm nibs) $40.00 Perfect for discovering the fine visual
expression of words, each calligraphy set is individually packaged with 1
transparent demonstrator pen body, 3 removable front sections, 3 stainless steel
calligraphy nibs, 3 standard piston ink converters for bottled ink, and 2 ink
cartridges. The stainless steel nibs included with each set come in 1mm, 1.5mm
and 2mm sizes.
Crystal Clear Deluxe Calligraphy Set (1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm nibs)
The Deluxe version of the calligraphy set not only includes everything described above, but 4 30ml bottles of Monteverde's spectacular new ink colors: Charoite, Fireopal, Onyx and Sapphire. In addition, a bottle of the new Pen Flush* is included, designed to keep your pens as clean as a whistle!
*Guaranteed to remove
the old and stubborn build-up in fountain pens with the perfect balance of
ingredients. Makes your pen write like new again! Instructions: 1. Clean a fountain pen with distilled or tap water until the water runs clear. 2. Fill and flush your fountain pen with Monteverde USA® Pen Flush, repeating to remove any extra ink. 3. Fill and flush with clean water again to remove any remaining Pen Flush.
Warning:
As with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of
dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen
a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing
manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in
heading from the converter to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the
detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect.
IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment.
