When MrPen introduced Italix Pens some years ago it was purely to provide inexpensive italic pens. We had not planned for the worldwide success that was to come. Italix pens are commissioned from pen makers in the UK and overseas but are finished in our own workshops. The largest contribution to our success has been the independent reviewers, particularly on the USA based 'Fountainpennetwork.com' and the reviews created for YouTube. MrPen is exceedingly grateful for these reviews because they are entirely independent. The reviewers all bought their Italix pens themselves and it was not until the review appeared that we became aware of any particular one. We provide YouTube links for you to follow. A simple way to see what has been written about Italix pens is to Google 'Italix Parson's Essential' or 'Italix Churchman's Prescriptor'.
