The caiso is cool, just the kingsize is so big! But I digress im not a big pen person. I like when they comfortably fit in a pocket.

Hi all,

Thanks for your nice comments !

Conid just confirmed the LE First Production Run of the CAISO is planned by for August.

Numbered pens will be engraved as such and will become available as from mid September.

The FPR series will be a demonstrator version.

The final cost will be determined by CONID within a few weeks.

The CAISO features the size of a MB149 or Pelikan 1000, I agree, a rather large masculine fountain pen.

Given the built-in restrictions of the CAISO system trough the feed, integration of the CAISO in a regular Bulkfiller looks very borderline.

So I strongly doubt if the CAISO will ever become available in a regular Bulkfiller.

Conid even needs start making a dedicated hard rubber CAISO feed for the Kingsize version.

This all sounds most interesting... Can hardly wait for pricing, how to order, and whether August will remain the beginning delivery timeframe (if I understood that correctly).

Glenn (love those pen posses)

Looks great! I think a demonstrator would be awesome, to show off the internals.

Note that - even on a demonstrator section - the internal CAISO mechanism in the section will be only

partially visible. The section threads are hiding the mechanism.

However one can see the actuation stroke of the Caiso closure plunger trough the transparent cap and one sees the surface tension breaker in the ink window moving.

You see, Francis, now you have to provide a video, or nobody will believe you :P

Too many pens; too little writing.

OK mongrelnomad and Pavoni,

We will make a video and pictures with the parts in exploded view as soon as the FPR series is ready.

The prototype I've made not being fully identical to the final design, and is actually in use for long term evaluation by a "frequent writer" friend of mine.

If you need another 'frequent writer', Francis, I'm known to write approximately a novel a year ;)

Too many pens; too little writing.

Hi Francis. Is there an update on the timeline?

Hi nibbling,

Given CONID will also make the CAISO HR feed, special dedicated tooling is ordered.

Once tooling is in, Conid will start making the feeds so they can profoundly test functionality of the new feed design

Latest status being the CAISO demonstrator is expected to become available end September, early October.

Regards,

Francis

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
