Monteverde Prima Fountain Pen
Appearance
Monteverde Prima Fountain Pen Review with Pen and Case
The Monteverde Prima Fountain Pen is a regular full-sized pen, with multiple color options. For this review we used the Black/Yellow Swirl Monteverde Prima. The pen color we reviewed has a yellow swirl pattern on a black acrylic resin body. Also, the pen has chrome accents on the cap, and finial. The nib is a standard stainless steel Monteverde #6 nib.
Qualities
The Monteverde Prima comes in at $85 USD Retail, but it is currently on sale. Monteverde Pens tend to be dry writers, but that can easily be fixed with a good cleaning using some Pen Chalet Pen Flush and Pen Chalet Brass Shims. The Monteverde Prima is a cartridge/converter pen, which will allow you to use either cartridges or a bottle of ink.
Performance
Now we come to the moment of truth. How does it write? Although Monteverde nibs tend to be dry writers, this pen had great flow and wrote beautifully. For this review, we inked up a Monteverde Prima with some Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün. The pen rested well in the hand, although this will vary depending on your hand size. Overall, we’d give the Monteverde Prima Fountain Pen an A+ for performance.
Conclusion about the Monteverde Prima Fountain Pen
In conclusion, if you’re looking for the newest addition to your collection, consider treating yourself to a Monteverde Prima Fountain Pen. With their great price, you could even pick up a few as gifts for your family and friends.

montblanc lavender purple is a KILLER
I have one other Monteverde pen and it’s my favorite! This pen is really lovely.
My favorite ink is Yama Budo.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve only had one Monteverde pen, and it didn’t end up in my permanent rotation. However, maybe their #6 nib-sized pens will do better? Their inks are one of my favorite brands, though!!
My favourite ink currently is Montblanc William Shakespears. i’m planning to replace it with diamine royal burgandy so if you can review it that will be awesome.
also, thanks for the giveaway!
I just recently happened to acquire a bottle of R&K Alt-Goldgrun (thanks Pen Chalet!). This pen certainly looks like a fine choice for dispensing it.
How about a review of Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo?
As usual, I would like to see orange inks reviewed. Do any have shimmer? All the better!
Currently my favorite ink is Noodler’s Cayenne. Great orange-red color.
I love the design of this pen. Thank uou for having this giveaway.
Thanks for a great review of this Monteverdi pen! I’ve never used one so if course I’d love to win it!
My goodness, it looks gorgeous.
Pretty pen, nice review. Thank you for the contest.
Loving that swirly material!
Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the color
That’s a beautiful pen and I’m glad to know it writes smoothly! Thanks for the review and the giveaway!
What a pretty pen. I think a dark gray would go nicely in it.
Red rover, red rover, send that Prima right over!”
One of my favorite inks is Diamine blue/black. I would love to see a review of that or Pilot Kon-Peki.
Thanks for the GAW penchalet. I have wanted one of these for a long time
The swirls look great!
I’d like to see a review of a blue ink with some shimmer.
I do not have a Monteverde pen in my collection. I am definitely curious about it.
I’ve always wanted one of these!
Would love to see a review of Akkerman inks.
My favorite ink is Robert Oster Spearmint.
The swirls on it remind me of a lava lamp.
I am new to fountain pens and haven’t tried a Monteverde yet. The pen is very attractive and am looking forward to giving it a swirl 🙂
Nice classic design and good material.
Beauty, thank you for the giveaway
Any of the newer Diamine Shimmering inks would be cool to review. I’d like to see more.
I really love Diamine’s asa blue, it’s like kon-peki, but less “glossy” and has a good amount of red sheen
This would go well with my favorite DeAtrementis ink, Jane Austen.
My favorite is Robert Oster Torquay. I don’t see it getting as much love as other turquoise/teals.
Would love to see a review of the new Stifflexible memo books – how well do they stand up to fountain pens?
Maybe you could review one of the new KWZ inks?
I think it would be good to see an ink review that compares side by side similar qualities such as robert oster fire and ice either sailor jentle yama dori
My favourite ink – Burgundy Red Mont Blanc (cheap and very good)
Oh, my. What a beautiful writing instrument!!
Can’t seem to get this form to go. Would like to see reviews of stub nibs.
I’d like to see a review of yellow inks. As that is a color not well represented on my ink shelf.
Nice!
