Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are 3D printed nylon inserts?
The pen grips are made using 3D printing technology from nylon powder, through a generative design process. The result is an openwork texture with complex and contemporary geometries, impossible to achieve with traditional processing. It is one of the elements that makes this pen unique.

Does the pen use traditional ink?
Yes, this INK version features a classic ballpoint tip with an interchangeable standard refill. It is a daily writing pen, fluid and reliable.

Is the refill replaceable?
Yes, the refill is interchangeable with compatible standard refills. When it runs out, you can easily replace it without having to change the pen.

What colors are available?

What is the difference between this pen and the Ethergraf® version?
The INK version features a ballpoint tip with ink, ideal for smooth and immediate daily use. The Ethergraf® version writes without ink, with a more discreet stroke suitable for sketches and drawings. If you are looking for a pen for everyday use, this is the right choice.

Both. The stand is designed to display the pen on the desk scenographically, but it also serves as a practical support to keep it always at hand. It is an integral part of the aesthetic project of the Cambiano Transition.
