Frequently Asked Questions

Do fountain pens leak on airplanes?

Fountain pens can leak on airplanes due to changes in cabin pressure, but it's not guaranteed, and there are simple ways to prevent it. The pressure drop during takeoff and landing can cause the air inside the pen to expand, pushing ink out through the nib or feed.

To avoid leaks while flying:

  • Store the pen nib up during the flight.
  • Travel with the pen either completely full or completely empty: not half-full, as trapped air can expand and force ink out.
  • Use a sealed plastic bag just in case, especially for carry-ons.

What accessories pair well with a fountain pen as a gift set?

A well-chosen fountain pen gift set can feel thoughtful and complete with a few carefully selected accessories. Here are some that pair incredibly well:

  • Leather Notebook or Journal: A smooth, fountain-pen-friendly notebook adds an immediate place to write or sketch, perfect for showcasing the pen's ink flow and feel.
  • Bottled Ink or Ink Cartridges: Include a bottle of rich black or deep blue ink or a box of cartridges that fit the pen. This adds practical value and a chance to personalize the writing experience. Black and blue inks are the safest gifts as they adapt to most personal and professional writing requirements.
  • Ink Refill Converter: If the pen uses cartridges, a piston converter gives the option to use bottled ink, offering flexibility and a more traditional filling method.
  • Pen Case or Sleeve: A leather or fabric pen sleeve protects the pen from scratches and keeps it safe during travel or daily use.
  • Cleaning Kit: For fountain pen enthusiasts, a small kit with a bulb syringe or cleaning cloth helps keep the pen in good condition over time.

Are fountain pens worth it in 2025?

Yes, fountain pens are absolutely worth it in 2025, especially for those who appreciate writing with passion, quality craftsmanship, and a break from the digital routine. While they aren't essential in a world of ballpoints and keyboards, they offer something those tools don't: a more personal, expressive, and satisfying writing experience.

Fountain pens today are more reliable, stylish, and accessible than ever, with options for beginners and seasoned writers. They're also more sustainable and refillable with bottled ink, reducing waste compared to disposable pens.

Fountain pens vs rollerball pens – which is better?

It depends on what you're looking for; both have their strengths, and the better choice comes down to writing style and personal preference.

Fountain Pens

  • Ink Flow: Use water-based ink that flows smoothly with little pressure. Writing feels effortless and expressive.
  • Feel: Offers more variation in line thickness.
  • Refill Options: Easily refillable with bottled ink or cartridges, making them more sustainable over time.
  • Best For: Those who enjoy a relaxed writing pace, journaling, letter writing, or want a tool with long-term value.

Rollerball Pens

  • Ink Flow: Use liquid ink like fountain pens, but in a ballpoint-style tip. Writes darker and wetter than ballpoints.
  • Feel: Smoother than a regular ballpoint but with more control than a fountain pen.
  • Refill Options: Typically use disposable refills. It is less customizable but has lower maintenance.
  • Best For: Fast writers, note-takers, or those who want a smooth pen with less maintenance.

Which Is Better?

Choose a fountain pen if you value craftsmanship, ink variety, and the ritual of writing.

Pick a rollerball if you want smooth writing, less maintenance, and more portability. Many writers keep both, using rollerballs for speed and convenience and fountain pens when they want to slow down and enjoy the writing process.
