Pilot MR1 Metropolitan Collection Fountain Pen, Mid Range, Medium Nib, Smooth Ink Flow, Consistent Writing, Ideal for Office & Personal Use - Silver Dots

The pen comes with a medium nib, which delivers clean, everyday lines with moderate line width and good readability for notes, lists, and general writing.

It uses a cartridge or converter-fed mechanism designed to provide steady, skip-free ink delivery, helping you write consistently across long notes or sets of pages.

You can refill it with Pilot cartridges or use a Converter if you prefer bottled ink.

For cartridges: remove the cap and old cartridge, insert a new Pilot cartridge into the nib section until it punctures and ink starts flowing, then recap. For a converter: remove the cartridge, attach a Pilot converter, fill the converter with bottled ink by gentle drawing up ink, reinstall the nib section, and recap.

The Dots Accent Grip provides a tactile reference and a modern look, complementing the pen’s clean lines while helping you maintain a comfortable grip during writing.

It excels at everyday writing tasks—note-taking at work or school, to-do lists, journaling, and personal correspondence—thanks to its reliable ink flow and comfortable nib.

Clean the nib and feed every few weeks or if the ink flow slows. Flush with lukewarm water, dry completely, and reassemble before storing. Avoid leaving ink in the pen for extended periods to minimize clogs.

Yes. It uses standard fountain-pen components designed for everyday writing. As with any liquid ink product, keep it away from small children to prevent accidental ingestion.
