If there is a FPN edition I will buy one or two as well. I like the idea of engraving of Fountain Pen Network, Special Edition.

 

P.S. I'll also get 筆閣 edition as well. :roflmho:

Looks cool! Is the white text on black background that says "Twsbi" a slip of paper or part of the cap/section? Do you have a close up view of that?

Your 1/20 update has some new molds. It sounds like your are fixing all of the problems you have found. Do you have any more re-tooled items you are waiting for?

 

The new packaging looks cool. I like how you are storing items underneath the logo area.

 

How close are you to going into production? I want to get one and am getting excited!

The last parts that need tooling modification is just done; I just saw the parts yesterday, tomorrow I will check with RD for the testing result.

Basically we are done on pen parts modification, now is waiting for tooling of new packaging box.

This week we will run a small batch of around 300 pen to confirm everything is ok, then the pen can be into mass production.

But I still need to finish the instruction book...., then packaging then ship to each internet store location; Taiwan, China, USA, Eurpue?

Hi,

 

Glad to hear that the pen is almost finished. Please let us know when we can place an order.

 

Regards,

 

RD

I will be more than happy to take one of those small batch runs of your hands, with or with out retail packing.....

Following this project since your first post here, can't wait...

Please note that I myself don't give a damn about instruction manuals and fancy packaging (I don't think I'm alone here).

 

If you have some pens ready for beta-testing, I think you should simply propose them here. They would disappear in a eyeblink.

 

 

then packaging then ship to each internet store location; Taiwan, China, USA, Europe?

Beg your pardon, may be I got it wrong.

Physically shipping to local stores?

Are you saying you'll be able to ship locally (from Europe to Italy, just to make an example )?

Sorry for screaming, but beware, I could kiss you for this...

I have a long tme friend in Germany who interested in selling this pen for me in Europe; from some internet store he will setup.

 

I am preparing 300 sets of final parts for first small batch run, if everything confirmed ok, then I will go into mass production of around 5,000 pens of first large scale run.

 

The first test of 2nd package upper/lower case will be performed in a few days...

The 1st package box we are also running some modification for easy ejection from tooling...

Actually many things are going everyday, being a responsible manufacturer we have to confirm everything (as much as we can) before we should ship out product to the customer.

 

The performance of last modification we done on nib filler adaptor is not as idea as we expect, so we still need to do more testing and maybe come out with another solution (not a difficult new solution, but just need a little more time).

Speedy, I really look forward to seeing your pen in the market, I think we will finally have a genuinely well made product at a reasonable cost. Do you have plans to market these pens in India? BTW are you making your nibs in Taiwan or are they being imported from Europe? I just saw the earlier posts where it is mentioned that the Nibs are from Schmidt.

 

 

Best,

Hari

Last night I had a nightmare: it was April 1st and Speedy just posted a gigantic "Fool's Day!!!", explaining it was all a joke...

 

Keep going, Speedy, this thread MUST be pinned.

In India, at the moment unfortunately I don't know anyone who can sell the pen for me.

The nib/filler are from Schmidt.
