That's the one I've been waiting for! Now tell me it's a Japan-only model .....

 

Beautiful pen. I really would rethink the Diamine Hope Pink though!! :)

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Yes, sorry about the Japan-only :-/

 

If not Hope Pink, how about R & K Solferino.....?

Drat! TWSBI really should make this pen more widely available, I'm sure it would be a hit.

 

Solferino? Sixties psychedelia! Enjoy your lovely pen

Oooo love it.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I ordered my first Eco this evening, a black version with stub nib. I agree with others. The Sunset Orange would be popular. Clear, black and white are so very basic. Is TWSBI aware of our forum?

 

If so, hey TWSBI please release the Sunset Orange Eco worldwide.

Its NOT Japan only. Many USA vendors are going to stock it. Ive already ordered my stub here.

 

Why Japan Only anyway? TWSBI is a Chinese (Taiwan) company...right?

 

Oh...wait...my mistake. I was thinking this was the new Ltd Edition TRANSPARENT Orange that is coming out today. This is about the opaque orange color. Yuk! Pooey! No likey opaque colors. I have the other transparent colors and want to add the new transparent orange.

That's a beautiful pen. I randomly stumbled upon this picture and ended up ordering one for myself from Japan.

 

Thanks for sharing this. Going to ink it with Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-yake...

Thanks to a link provided by Fountanpencrazy, one of these will be mine. It costs a premium, but my that pen is so pretty. I was thinking about getting another Eco, and now it’s on order.

I received my Sunset Eco yesterday, but only got it filled with Lamy neon Coral late. I received The Planetary Report magazine too, and it had an interesting photo.

It matches the sunset nicely. I also bought a Kaweco Sport Fox recently, and it is close but not quite the same Orange.

I really love the cheerful color of the Sunset Orange Eco. I have learned the Eco does not have its own nib for sale. I was sold a Diamond 580 1.1mm nib, but it will not work on any of my pens. So I will have to exchange it for a diamond mini 1.1mm nib at pen club on the 26th.

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
