How the eyedropper works
Instead of a cartridge or converter, the whole barrel holds ink. You unscrew the blind cap at the end to open a shut-off valve and let ink flow to the nib; close it again before travelling to keep everything secure. It is a clever, classic system that gives a short pen a generous ink supply.
Pocket sized, full sized writing
Capped, the Mini is just 117mm long, perfect for a shirt pocket or pen case. Post the cap and it grows to about 140mm, a comfortable length for writing pages of notes.
Choose your nib
- EF and F: neat, precise lines for small handwriting and planners
- M: a dependable all-rounder
- B: wetter lines that show off ink shading
- 1.4mm stub: crisp line variation for headings and lettering
Ink ideas
Warm browns, sepia and golden ambers echo the leopard pattern beautifully, while a deep black gives a striking contrast.
Frequently asked questions
Will it leak in a bag?
Close the shut-off valve before carrying it, and the ink stays sealed in the barrel.
