The multicolor ebonite and acrylic вЂњKoloroвЂќ demonstrators are currently priced at $93 (minus whatever discount code Ron has running at any given time). They tend to be messier to fill and to clean, and if you like the look of these pens IвЂ™d recommend that you start out with one of the smaller, less expensive Koloro demonstrators, which is a much more practical size that will appeal to most people. Eyedroppers arenвЂ™t for everybody, however. Personally, I hope they do, because Opus 88 should have a hit on their hands with eyedropper fans who need a pen that holds a ton of ink and who donвЂ™t want to worry about the perils of temperature fluctuation and messy ink burps. 5 nib units, but I havenвЂ™t done enough experimenting to say for sure.ДЄs far as IвЂ™m aware, Pen Chalet is the exclusive distributor of Opus 88 fountain pens in the United States, though that may change as these pens attract more attention and become more widely available. I suspect this has something to do with the construction of the feeds in the No. 5 nibs work best in eyedropper or cartridge pens because they tend to write very dry when attached to a converter. JoWo nibs are among the best stock stainless steel nibs, though I do find that the smaller No. All three of my pens arrived well-tuned and did not require any nib adjustments. 5 nibs, while the larger transparent demonstrator uses a No. Opus 88 uses reliable stainless steel German nibs made by JoWo. With the valve open, IвЂ™ve never had these pens dry out, skip, or hard-start. I tend to leave the valve open all day while IвЂ™m at work, and close it up when I get ready to go home. You can close the valve at this point, and with finer nibs should have enough ink to write for a page or two. This allows ink to flow from the barrel into the section and saturate the feed. The flip side is that in order to write for extended periods of time, you will need to open the shutoff valve by slightly unscrewing the blind cap to allow a continuous flow of ink to the feed,В much as you would need to do with a TWSBI Vac or Pilot Custom 823.

The majority of the barrel is constructed from acrylic, while most of the cap and the blind cap are ebonite.В The only trim is a somewhat plain chrome clip. The Koloro pens feature a unique combination of ebonite and acrylic. Opus 88 currently offers two models: a smaller 'Koloro' demonstrator that is available in four colors: blue/tan, blue, yellow/tan, and red, and a larger transparent demonstrator with black trim. The pens apparently have sold very well so far, with certain colors and nib sizes periodically going out of stock. This past fall, they started selling their own 'Opus 88' branded pens in the United States through Pen Chalet. Opus 88 is a Taiwanese company that, from what I have gleaned on pen forums and other вЂњunofficialвЂќ (and unverified) sources of research, previously has manufactured pens on a contract basis for other, better-known pen companies. Since entirely new fountain pen brands are few and far between, those that do hit the market tend to immediately catch my attention, especially when the pens being offered are in any way unique.
