Artista is about choice and the freedom to have fun with writing instruments. All four body styles feature unique technologies first introduced here by Montverde. Significant development time went into the exact formulations of inks. The acrylic resin bodies of these pens are literally hand formed from a solid bar; and then polished to a crystal clarity. A final addition of the jewelry grade chromium appointments completes the pen. Fountain pen users will especially enjoy watching the ink flow from the cartridge or converter directly through the feed system into the nib and then the paper's surface. Cool.
