Hi, thanks for the previous info. Do you know if a Suprema is bigger tthan an Etruria (both demonstrators).
Also how does the nib come out, and how stain prone are they
They are about the same size, just have a different shape. If I understand it well, it may be that the Suprema holds more ink than the Etruria.
I would think that the Suprema nib screws out, as they share the nib construction of a nib/feed/collar assembly that is threaded, à la Pelikan IOW. The Etruria Nuda nib assembly does screw out for sure. And older versions of the standard Supremas also do.
They are as stain prone as any transparant acrylic pen. Essentially, this means that staining is not too bad, except with the usual suspects (certain red and violet inks), but you do see every little spot of ink in the cap and body, and you only become aware of where the ink can settle when you do have a transparant pen like any of these two

. So, you have to be able to live with that, because removing the ink from some spots would really mean taking the pen apart completely. Rinsing alone doesn't do the trick

.
HTH, warm regards, Wim
