Maiora Impronte


writepen

Recommended Posts

The Maiora Pen Company is based in Naples, Italy. They design and produce exceptional writing instruments--all hand-turned. (Additionally, Maiora makes the new Nettuno 1911 pens.) The Founder of the Company, Nino Marino, is well-known to fountain pen users and collectors world-wide. He is the original Co-Founder of Delta Pen.

I am a proud owner of the latest fountain pens created with Maiora masterly skill--The Impronte, in both standard size and oversize.

Both are available in orange and black matte finishes.

Nib grades from which to choose are Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub 1.5

The supplied converter is threaded and fits securely. It can also be operated from the barrel end just like a piston, after removing the blind cap. The Impronte also accepts standard, international size cartridges...short or long.

To fully appreciate the fascinating effect in the orange Impronte, it must be seen in person! It is formed by blending together orange resin and black resin.

The irresistible feature of these fountain pens is the 6mm JoWo nib--it's composed of steel to Maiora's specifications, but performs like a gold nib, a valuable benefit.

I was planning to put the Impronte in weekly rotation, but I might be forced to use it daily!

Eminent Pen Retailer, penchalet.com, is an authorized Dealer for Maiora Fountain Pens. On the subject of value...both fountain pen sizes are priced the same.

They get really, really terrible reviews and the thing that they all have in common is the mention of extremely poor finishing and poor quality. I'd be willing to bet hard cash that they have everything to do with a former thing also beginning with 'M'.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
