The Ori reservoir is slightly larger and a different length to the Lumos version. It’s also made from a denser fibre, which improves ink flow – especially for thicker, more viscous inks like pigmented highlighter inks. This makes it better suited to broader tips and more demanding ink types.

Precision-crafted anodised aluminium – the same material used in aerospace engineering! Anodising makes the pen durable, with a finish tough enough to stand the test of time and an array of stunning colour options.

Length capped – 142mm
Pen barrel diameter – 12.5mm
Weight – 34g

Of course! The ink dries quickly, so there’s no risk of smudging for left-handed writers.

Yes. Engraving is applied to the dark-coloured side of the pen, such as purple, orange, or blue. If you purchase a two-pen or three-pen set, the same engraving will be applied to each pen in the set.

What ink can you use with The Ori?

The Ori is compatible with all of our Fluoro Highlighter Inks, standard Fountain Pen Inks, Fibre Tip Inks, and Permanent Inks.

Please note, The Ori is not suitable for use with our Shimmer Fountain Pen Inks or Calligraphy Inks.

For more information on ink compatibility, you can find full details in our ink FAQ page here.

It’s simple:

1. Unscrew the tip holder to access the reservoir.
2. Dip the reservoir into your ink of choice and let the capillary action draw up the ink.
3. Reassemble the pen, and you’re ready to write!

A little note, our permanent ink takes a little longer to fully saturate he reservoir!

We’ve also created a helpful video guide - find it here.

There are two ways to switch ink colours:

1. Rinse the nib and reservoir under warm running water, dry thoroughly, and refill with your new ink.
2. Swap out the tip and reservoir entirely and store the old ones in a ziplock bag or container.

A little note on our permanent ink; when changing colours: because Permanent Inks contain dyes that bond more readily to surfaces, they may stain the reservoir and nib slightly over time. This is purely cosmetic and will not affect the performance of your pen. When switching to a new ink colour, the first few fills may also be slightly tinted by the previous colour until the new ink has fully flushed through the reservoir and feed.

With proper care, a reservoir can last indefinitely if you stick to the same ink.

If you frequently clean and switch inks, you may get around 4-5 washes before capillary action starts to diminish. Don’t worry – we sell replacement reservoirs for when you need them.

If a reservoir or tip has been inked, it should never be allowed to dry out. Always store inked parts either capped when fitted in the pen or in an airtight container.

For permanent inks, if a tip is left uncapped for more than 10 minutes, the ink may begin to dry at the tip. In many cases, this can be revived by dipping the tip in water. If left uncapped for more than an hour, the tip and reservoir may need to be replaced.

For both permanent and highlighter inks, if ink is allowed to dry inside the reservoir or tip, it can cause clogging and may render the parts unusable.

If you want to clean a reservoir, rinse it thoroughly to remove all ink, then allow it to dry completely before re-inking.

If a tip or reservoir does become clogged beyond recovery, don't worry. Replacement tips and reservoirs are inexpensive and are available here.

You can switch between different colours of Permanent Ink, but we do not recommend using standard fountain pen inks in a tip that has previously been used with Permanent Ink.

This helps keep flow consistent and avoids any unexpected interaction between ink types, as other inks may not have the same permanence and expected results could vary.

Our tips are crafted in Japan and built to outlast many of their competitors. Longevity depends on factors like:

• Paper smoothness (smoother paper reduces wear).
• Tip size (smaller tips experience more pressure and may wear faster).
• Writing style (heavy pressure or techniques like pointillism can shorten lifespan).
• Ink choice (free-flowing inks reduce friction).

Great news though, replacement tips are affordable and environmentally friendly.

You can find our full tip collection and multipacks of your favourites here.

Tips are inserted through the top of the tip holder.

The silicone grip included with your Ori makes changing tips a breeze!
Position the tip grip over the tip itself (not the tip holder) and press firmly to pull out the tip.

Soak them in warm soapy water or our Nib Cleaning Solution for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. There may be a small amount of residual ink, but it will clear out after a few strokes with your new ink.

No, the Lumos tips are smaller and won't fit the Ori's body

Isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove Permanent Ink from your pen. Apply a small amount to a cloth and gently wipe the affected area.

Please take care when handling isopropyl alcohol, as it can dry out and irritate the skin with prolonged contact.

Regular cleaning with warm soapy water will keep your Ori in great condition. Be sure to dry all parts thoroughly and check for ink in the threaded sections before reassembling. A touch of silicone grease on the threads will help maintain a smooth seal.

Store your spare reservoirs and tips in our handy containers (or a ziplock bag) to prevent them from drying out, keeping them ready for future use.

If a reservoir or tip is inked, it must never be left to dry out. Always store inked parts in an airtight container. If ink dries inside, the reservoir or tip will clog and can’t be used again.

For permanent inks; If left uncapped for more than 10 minutes, the ink may begin to dry at the tip. In most cases, it can be brought back to flow by dipping the tip in water.

If the pen is left uncapped for over an hour, you may need to replace the tip and reservoir. The good news is these parts are inexpensive and easy to replace, and can be found here.

We recommend storing your Ori horizontally in a cool, dry place to keep it in tip-top condition.

This can happen if a reservoir or tip is left uncapped or allowed to dry after inking. Dried ink can clog the reservoir or tip and make it unusable.

To prevent this, always store inked parts in an airtight container.

A little note on permanent inks. If left uncapped for more than 10 minutes, the ink may begin to dry at the tip. In most cases, it can be brought back to flow by dipping the tip in water.

If the pen is left uncapped for over an hour, you may need to replace the tip and reservoir.

Don't worry - we sell replacement reservoirs here. Replacement tips can be found here.

The reservoir may not be fully loaded. Try dipping it in ink again for 10–20 seconds and ensure it’s securely reinserted into the pen.

Please note, when using our permanent ink, the reservoir can take a little longer to become fully saturated with ink compared with our others pen inks. A slightly longer dip is all that's needed.
