About Maiora

Maiora is an Italian pen maker founded in Naples in January 2018 by Nino Marino, co-founder and longtime head of Delta, after that company closed in 2017. Continuing the Neapolitan penmaking tradition, Maiora launched with the Nettuno 1911 collection, and in 2022 the company acquired the Delta brand, returning it to production.

How to fill the Maiora Mytho Grand K

Fill it two ways: snap in a pre-filled international cartridge for convenience, or use a converter — a small plunger or twist mechanism that installs the same way a cartridge does — to draw ink from any bottle. The converter route opens up the entire world of bottled ink, which is where most of the hobby's color variety lives.

Choosing a nib size

Nib size determines line width, not writing pressure — fountain pens are meant to glide, never press. Extra-fine (EF) suits small, dense handwriting and thin paper; fine (F) is the most broadly recommended default; medium (M) shows more ink character and shading; broad (B) and stub grinds favor bold, expressive strokes and calligraphy-adjacent writing.

Keeping it clean

A quick flush with cool water every time you switch ink colors — and a full clean every 4–6 weeks of regular use — is enough to keep the nib and feed performing well. Inktend's cleaning reminder is tuned to a 21-day baseline and adjusts naturally to how often you actually refill.

Pairing inks with the Mytho Grand K

Because refills are quick with a cartridge or converter, this is a good pen for rotating through several colors rather than committing to one; sample vials work especially well here.
