HisNibs.com update -- Invincia Stylus and Delta
December 27th, 2011

Greetings,

I hope everyone had a joyous holiday!

Now that you no doubt received your bright new touchscreen device as a gift , I'm happy to introduce the first fountain pen with a stylus designed for those very capacitive screens -- the Monteverde Invincia Stylus.

There are lots of new versions of the One Touch Stylus ballpoint pen available now as well.

I hope that everyone also has a Happy New Year. You might want to make it happier by ordering your Delta pens now -- as there's a price increase coming on February 1st for this iconic Italian pen maker.

Monteverde Invincia Stylus



Now joining the Monteverde One Touch ballpoints, we offer the world's first fountain pen/stylus combination, which allows the traditional, superior paper-writing characteristics of the fountain pen, coupled with a stylus for capacitive touchscreens! The round silky finished stylus is made of a unique conductive rubber compound that makes it as responsive as your finger.

Based on Monteverde's flagship Invincia model, the Invincia Stylus also introduces a new matte finish to the line, either in Matte Chrome or Matte Black.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. Both fountain pen models have black steel nibs, coated with titanium for extreme durability, and are available in B, M, F or the new stub sizes. I've found that the new, large Monteverde nibs run about a size smaller than typical western nibs. Hence, I'd classify the B nib as a typical medium, the M as a fine and the F as an x-fine. The stub is a 1.1 mm medium. Please specify the nib size you'd like, by letter or 'stub' only, to avoid confusion when ordering.

Delta price increase coming



Although Delta's very extensive line is too large for us to stock regularly, I can order any model that YAFA (Delta's U.S. distributor) has, and have it in hand within a week.

I offer the pens for a 20% discount off of the retail price, and now's the time to order -- as all of their prices go up on February 1st.

The link below is to YAFA's Delta site, where you can see all of the models offered. Just let me know what you'd like when you email His Nibs.com -- including your preferred nib size -- and we'll get the ball rolling at these current, reduced prices.

"U.K. photographer Mark Mawson has added another impressive group of photographs to his already amazing portfolio. Entitled Aqueous Fluoreau, the series is an extension of a previous group of work similarly titled called Aqueous. Using ink and water, Mawson uses a secret technique to take these remarkable photographs that he is not sharing."
