A Good Pen Store in Denver?

Recommended Posts

If anyone's from or familiar with the Denver, CO, area, can you recommend a good pen shop? We're vacationing in Fort Collins but are planning to take a trip down to Denver sometime during the week.

 

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Fort Collins has a few good pen shops, such as The Right Card in Old Town and also Sign With Prestige (I've never been but hear it's nice).

 

On your way to Denver, you can detour through Boulder and go to Two Hands Paperie. They've got a good selection of pens and paper, including G. Lalo.

 

In Denver, you can hit many different Paradise Pen locations. Another classic and well-stocked location is Meinengers. It's an art supply store, but they've got tons of pens, ink and paper.

 

Have fun!

I've got a blog!

Guirys is another store in Denver that has a large selection of pens and inks Guirys, the University Hills location is where pens are sold.

 

Meiningers is my favorite so far, and if you are into art supplies its doubly fantastic, they have a pretty good variety of pens and inks, and paper overall.

 

The Paradise pen I would probably avoid is the one in the Tabor center, nice staff, but they seem to never have much in stock, and end up recommending I head over to Meiningers!!

 

Enjoy the front range, and I hope you can make it up to the mountains at some point, we have had some pretty amazing weather, between the unusual rain storms, that make the forests and wildlife something you shouldn't miss!

 

That reminds me I need to stop by Two Hands Paperie when I am up in Boulder again, it looks like such a fantastic place for stationary, and pens alike!

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

Thanks so much for the suggestions. We visited The Right Card, Sign with Prestige, and Meininger's. Sign with Prestige was excellent and I'll probably write a full review soon. I got everything I was looking for except a Lamy converter, which I bought later at Meininger's.

 

Colorado was fantastic. We stayed in Fort Collins most of the time but took a day trip to Red Rocks and spent two days in Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park, so we got to see plenty of wildlife and beautiful scenery. I'd love to move up here some day.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
