Daybreak Click Starter Set | Pen & Bottle of MVT Daily Ink

The pen, the ink, and the converter. Nothing left to figure out.

The reason most people never start with fountain pens isn't the pen. It's everything after the pen. You buy one, and then you find out you also need ink, and a converter, and that some inks will wreck the feed, and that the bottle you liked the look of is the wrong kind. Three tabs open, no writing done.

This is that whole decision, already made. A Daybreak Click, the twist converter it fills from, and a 55 ml bottle of Mintvalley Daily Ink in Sailor navy — matched on purpose, because our ink is a non-carbon dye formula and the Daybreak's sealed shutter and feed are exactly what it was mixed for. You cannot pick the wrong ink out of this box, because there's only the right one in it.

Fill the converter, click the button, write. The Daybreak's nib comes out on a spring and goes back behind an airtight shutter, so there's no cap to set down and lose and no dried nib a week later. The ink is built for the paper you already own — spiral notebooks, filler paper, whatever came out of the office printer — so the first thing you write on isn't a disappointment.

Six colorways, from the quiet Tuxedo to the loud Caution. The ink is navy in all of them.

One honest note: 55 ml is a lot of ink. It's roughly fifty converter fills, not a sample vial. You're deciding you like navy for a good long while — but you're also not buying ink again this year.

$30 for the set. $35 if you bought the two separately.

• Everything in one box — pen, twist converter, and a full 55 ml bottle, with nothing else to order before you can write
• Matched on purpose — Daily Ink is a non-carbon dye formula mixed for exactly this feed, so there's no compatibility question to research
• Click-to-write — push-button nib with a sealed shutter, no cap to lose, safe in a shirt pocket
• 19 g resin body — light and balanced enough for a full page without hand fatigue
• Works on ordinary paper — the ink is formulated against feathering and bleed-through on cheap notebooks and copy paper
• 55 ml of ink — around fifty converter fills, hand-mixed in small batches in New York
• Six pen colorways — Caution, Red Velvet, Tuxedo, Silver Streak, Piano, Blackout
• Saves $5 — versus buying the pen and the bottle separately
