No Comments on Edison Nouveau Encore Price Reduction…

Hi Pen Fans.

Just a quick blog post to make everyone aware of a price reduction on the Edison Nouveau Encore.

The price was $185. Is it now $165.

Essentially, I was able to find a way to streamline the medallion manufacturing process. The first batch was very labor intensive regarding casting and plating. Since then, I’ve found ways to cut my cost and time without sacrificing the product.

The Goulets and I discussed this, and came to the conclusion that a lower price is in order. We also discussed what to do regarding customers who purchased the pen at the originial price.

We have decided to provide an Edison/Goulet refund for the difference to everyone who purchased the Encore at the original price. So if you are an Encore owner, you should have already received Goulet Pen Company store credit via email.

Brian Goulet outlines the same topic in this blog post over at Ink Nouveau.

As a side note – the new Production Line Pen will be set to go this coming week! Stay tuned!

Thanks!

Time Away

A Small Family Vacation…

Hi Pen Fans.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that next week, Monday the 23rd through Wednesday the 25th, we’ll be out of the shop on a small vacation.

I’m not sure about my internet access on this little trip, so if I’m slow with emails, you’ll know why.

On a side note, there is one Urushi Mina left. We had a customer committed to the pen, but then changed their mind.

If you are interested, email me. This is the last one.

Otherwise, I’ll put out more details about this Urushi Mina next week when we return.

Thanks!

No Comments on A Few Urushi Minas Left! Smugmug Issues Fixed!

Hi Pen Fans!

Highlights from the video….

1. Smugmug issues with searches are resolved. All of the searches on my Smugmug galleries are back to normal.

As mentioned above, here’s the video "Tips on Navigating the Smugmug Galleries". If you ever felt overwhelmed looking through my galleries, please watch this…

2. The Urushi Mina’s are complete, and there are 4 left!

Here is the video that I mentioned showing how the reticulated pattern is created on the Urushi Minas. Fascinating!

Here is the completed pen…..

See the Urushi Mina Project Page for all details and more photos…

Email me if you are interested in this pen.

Smugmug Problem, and a Few Quick Updates…

4 Comments on Smugmug Problem, and a Few Quick Updates…

Hi Pen Fans….

Highlights from the video above.

1. Smugmug searches are only working from the Home Page or Galleries Page. Due to an indexing problem, we are not able to search within individual galleries right now.

The solution for now….when trying to search within a specific gallery, search from the Home or Galleries page only, but place the name of the Gallery in the search window along with the term that you are searching for.

For example, if you want to find Pearlettes in Ebonite that are currently ready to ship, you will type "Current Pearlette Ebonite" in the search window of the Home Page or Gallery Page. This will show you Pearlettes in Ebonite that are in Current Inventory.

If you want to find Blue Glenmonts, type in "Blue Glenmont" from the Main Page or Galleries Page.

You can’t do this from the respective individual galleries for now, so work from the Home or Gallery Page.

This issue will hopefully be fixed soon.

2. New Stealth LE will hopefully be announced next week.

3. New Production Pen in the next 2-3 weeks barring something unforeseen.

Thanks!

Back From Vacation! Much Needed, But We’re Back to Work!

2 Comments on Back From Vacation! Much Needed, But We’re Back to Work!

Hi Pen Fans.

I’m back from my vacation. Like I said previously…..since starting The Edison Pen Company, I really have never taken a vacation with family where we actually travel, and I actually get away from emails!

This was my son’s first time flying! He was so excited, and had a great time all around!

We took a trip to Scottsdale, AZ, and definitely had a nice time. Some of you know that I enjoy photography. I’ll attach a photo from Sedona that I’m pretty proud of.

If you would like to see more, I’ve uploaded a lot of photos from the trip to my photography blog. I haven’t processed every shot from this trip yet, so there will probably be a few more entries from this trip in the next few days if you want to stay tuned.

So I feel fully refreshed! I really needed some time away.

But back to Edison business…..I’ll be getting through my emails tomorrow, Monday. So if you are expecting a response from me, you’ll hear from me then.

Some previews of what is to come soon….

1. We have a new model for the Production Line that should materialize in the next 2-3 weeks, I hope. I’m very excited about this new pen.

2. We have a great looking Signature Line "Stealth" pen coming together very nicely that will be a Limited Edition. There will be a few features on this pen that I’ve never used before, so stay tuned. I’m waiting on a few special parts to come together, and then we’ll be all set.

Thanks!

Time Away

Vacation!

Hi Pen Fans!

We will be leaving tomorrow for a much needed vacation.

Since starting the Edison Pen Company, I honestly have never taken a vacation where I actually travel with my family, and actually get away from work! Most of my vacations have been close to home, and I still never really get away from emails or the computer.

So this time I’m doing it right! I will not be doing Edison related emails until I return on Monday the 18th.

So please bear with me, as Edison communication will be non-existent during a much needed vacation.

Thanks!

Special Offers

Edison Pen Giveaway!

Hi Pen Fans!

Those of you who have seen some of my appearances on the FPGeeks Radio Show will already know that I’m a huge fan of Dan and Eric, and everything that they do for the fountain pen community.

You can read a previous blog post here singing the praises for all things FPGeek! Bottom line, if you haven’t checked them out, be sure to. They have one of the most informational and entertaining sites devoted to fountain pens, no doubt.

So when they asked me to donate an Edison Pen for a giveaway, how could I resist!
