Born in the Rockies

Five thousand two hundred and eighty feet. That is the elevation of Denver, Colorado, the city in which the 5280 brand was conceived and designed. Situated a mile above sea level, the city is blessed with a rich   culture and the unrelenting call of nature; the ever-present Rockies, our year-round playground is just a few miles to the west. From our eastern plains to the peaks of our beloved Rockies, inspiration is a part of our culture. 


The 5280 brand celebrates this soaring Denver altitude, and the brand’s attitude, through its overt quality and enduring value.


Colorado Pen is thrilled to offer this ‘hometown’ brand, 5280. Designed by folks who know their pens, 5280 represents one of the greatest values on the market today.

The World’s Most Comfortable Pen IS BACK!

Sensa Pens were originally introduced in 1995 and then vanished about ten years later.  We sold more Sensa pens during those ten years than any other single pen: period. That’s what a huge seller Sensa used to be. The patented grip   section was a vastly treasured component and loved by thousands of consumers. The ergonomic Patented Plasmium ™ fluid gel grip was unique and obviously stress-relieving within minutes.

What happened? The Sensa brand simply disappeared through a few ownership changes. Consumers were distraught. 

Time to Rejoice!

The new owners of Sensa have revived the brand, developed 2020 materials for the patented grip section and updated colors. Each Sensa pen is made from solid brass and lacquer coated in a choice of six fashion colors. A milled silver-plated pen top with the Sensa logo completes each pen. Winner of numerous design awards and featured in design museums the world over, Sensa pens takes writing to a new level of comfort.

Affordable Classic

In homage to the first “Classique” pen, S.T. Dupont presents a brand new and more contemporary writing instrument to meet the requirements of modern-day men and women. The D-Initial fountain pen is offered in black resin and golden or chrome finish. The well balance cylindrical shape providing the perfect size and weight for writing. 

Nib Anatomy and Self-Expression

You’ll find the writing experience with the D-Initial to be effortless. The tactile pleasure unique. Easily express your personal style with the iridium tipped medium stainless-steel nib. The pen fills with our Standard international cartridges or the included converter.

Rollerball Versus Ballpoint. A Comparison.
There are several differences. While a ballpoint pen uses a thick oil-based ink, the rollerball pen uses liquid ink. This key difference makes the rollerball feel smoother and more liquid, giving it a more fluid action which is comparable to a fountain pen. This fluidity also translates to a rollerball pen generally having a finer writing line. On the other hand, a ballpoint pen does have a more controlled action and the refill  lasts longer. 

S.T. Dupont D-Initial $189 - $269 $151 - $215

Pineider Demonstrates Another First. Several Actually.

We love demonstrator pens and these are the Best Ever! The fountain pen features a see-through body that allows you to judge exactly how much of your ink remains. The converter itself actually has a measure. Even the ballpoint and rollerball refills allow you to see inside the refill itself and gauge exactly what remains. Can you sense how much we love these Ultra Resin Avatars? Unique  is just the beginning.

But there’s even more. To produce the new Avatar, Pineider has been developed a new assembly technology, called GlueLess. Thanks to 3D engineering and high precision manufacturing, each individual pen is assembled without using a single drop of glue. A technological puzzle! Every component precisely fits each other. The Ultra Resin is the toughest body material you’ll find as its name implies. The caps on the fountain and rollerball lock with a soft touch closure; so sophisticated. The central band is Palladium trimmed and features an engraving of the skyline of Florence, Italy.
