Upon the recommendation of one of the fine readers here at Well-Appointed Desk, I purchased the Uni Style Fit, a direct competitor to the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto multi-pens. The model I purchased is a black body with white polka dots (though there were other more sedate options available) which holds five different writing tools. Oh,…

Ink Drop Reveal for May 2012
Goulet Pens brought out all the “May Flowers” to contrast last month’s “April Showers” with an array of brightly colored and scented inks for this month’s Ink Drop.
