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

It uses a medium nib, which produces a balanced line width that’s easy to read on standard paper. The medium nib is comfortable for long writing sessions and pairs well with most note-taking styles.

The MR1 features a regulated feed that helps maintain a uniform ink output across pages, reducing blobs and smudging for cleaner, more consistent writing.

The pen is cartridge- and converter-compatible. It works with Pilot cartridges or CON-40/Con-B converters, giving you the option to switch between cartridge ink and bottled ink.

The pen has a brass barrel that adds weight for steadier handwriting, paired with a Silver Plain finish for a timeless, professional look and a comfortable grip.

For cartridges: remove the cap, push a cartridge into the section until it punctures, and allow ink to feed to the nib. For a converter: attach the converter to the nib, submerge the nib into bottled ink, twist the converter to draw ink up, then reattach and cap the pen. Prime the nib by writing gently on scrap paper before starting regular use.

Ideal for office notes, daily journaling, agendas, and signatures. Its balanced weight and smooth flow make it comfortable for extended writing sessions and professional documents.

Rinse the nib and feed with clean water periodically to remove dried ink, especially after using bottled ink. Dry completely before reassembling. If line quality changes, flush the feed and nib with water and re-prime with writing on scrap paper.

Yes, it’s designed for everyday writing with standard fountain-pen inks. Keep ink away from children and avoid chewing the nib. Store capped when not in use to prevent leaks.
