Nib Exchange Program


If you are not entirely satisfied by the nib of your fountain pen, you may request a nib exchange to better suit your individual writing style.
 

 

Fountain Pen Nibs

If within 28 days of purchase, you realize that the nib of your fountain pen is not entirely suited to your writing style, Parker offers you the complimentary benefit of exchanging it for any nib of the same value, provided it is undamaged and in excellent condition.

Process for Exchange

Working closely with retail partners, Parker provides dedicated services and professional advice on owning, using and servicing your Parker pen.

Step 1:

Please enter your location into the Store Locator and contact your local retailer to confirm if they provide nib exchange services.

Step 2 (if your local retailer service is available):

If your local retailer service is available: Please visit your local retailer with proof of purchase and your pen where they will coordinate the exchange of your nib.

Nibs to suit different writing styles:

Regular Pen-Nibs

With a rounded shape at the tip of the writing point, regular pen-nibs provide a smooth, free flowing writing experience and a uniform writing line for any style of writing, both left-handed and right-handed.

Oblique Pen-Nibs

To compensate for extreme writing angles, these pen-nibs are precision cut at an oblique angle and fitted with a rounded pellet, allowing the pen to write smoothly in all directions.

Italic Straight Pen-Nibs

Manufactured with a sharp, straight cut tip and finished with a flat pellet, this pen-nib applies a thick line in one direction and a thin line at right angles to that direction as necessary for the italic style of writing.
