"Thanks for the update. That is fast work. I have
never purchased anything from any company that is as efficient and caring as
yours. It is as amazing as it is appreciated. The Artistic Crystal brings a
smile to my face when I write with it. It is so fun and bright. Pure joy.
Thanks for having it available...I have many pens as you know. I go to the
Artista Crystal when I want the recipient to know that I am happy just writing
with a wonderful pen."

"Hello Norman, ¡¡Great news!! The shipment has
arrived "sano y salvo (intact and safe)".
I have checked the Artista pen and it manages to make
me very enthusiastic. It has been a great discovery because looks and writes
like a more expensive pen. It has a great appearance and is a well- finished
product, the chromium-plated parts (front section and cap) and the box give
the pen a very good look. I have filled the pen with the green private reserve
ink and the result is fantastic. Thank you again for replacing the broken ink
bottle free of charge, it has been a great gesture of attention, I admire your
professionalism."

After the passing of the first 'Golden Age' of fountain pens (I believe we're in the second Golden Age now), so too passed the demonstrator.
The new Artista Crystal series of pen (see the rollerball and ballpoint versions further down the page) are produced with a transparent barrel and matching cap, and are made from top-class acrylic resin -- hand-polished inside and out. The jewelry-grade chromium-finish accents (clip, cap band and cap 'jewel') really set off the crystal clarity of the Artista Crystal design.
As with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap
(two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen a few
times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at
removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic
in heading from the filler to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the
detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect.

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!
