St Dupont Paris is a brand name and manufacturer of lighters, collectible pens, handbags, perfumes (produced under license by Interparfums) and other gadgets using the trademark diamond-head pattern. The company has been producing luxury items since its founding in 1872. The founder of the brand, Simon Tissot-Dupont, was born in Savoy in 1847 - the company owes its initials to him. It seems at the moment they offer only two inks in bottle (black and blue) and two more in cartridges.


At the moment the company offers two inks in nice glass bottles: Royal Blue and Black.

Royal Blue is nice, well-behaved ink. It's not amazing nor unique but still rather nice.

Very nice blue.....

 

But way the bottle looks in the photo (could just be perspective foreshortening...), the bottle proportions looks quite squat (ie, low and wide....a la JHerbin bottles....), if so, not so good for filling pen when bottle gets low with ink....otherwise, looks nice...

 

:)

 

Thanks,

The bottle is surely ridiculous BUT extremely "artful!" It is almost "more squatty" than the Herbin bottle. I have only these bottle but I think there was an earlier bottle that was equally "short" but round in shape.

True enough. When the level gets low the only way to fill a pen is to remove the converter and fill that. There now is a larger bottle for sale (Farney's I think) of 70 ml. For all that, I think it's a very nice blue.

It's also available in standard cartridges. I don't favour that offer at all... but it also applies to S.T. Dupont's BLEU NUIT / DARK BLUE (Réf.040111) which is only available in cartridges. One of my all-time favourite dark blue / blue-blacks

      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

      @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
