Which one is for you?

Start with the pen, or start with all of it.

Four things in the shop and one honest question behind them: do you want one line printed and loaded before it ships, or do you want to keep writing? Here is what each choice contains, what it costs, and who it suits.

Shop everything

Side by side

What each one gets you.

Same pen, same paper, same app behind all of it. The only decision is how much of it arrives in the first parcel.

What you buy What arrives, and what you'd add later Price
The pen alone The pen in your finish, boxed, with your first scroll printed and loaded by us. Add a printer when you want to write the next one. $39
The Kit The pen, the SneakPrint printer and three paper refills, in one box. Nothing else to buy before you start writing. $59
SneakPrint, on its own The pocket printer and its USB-C cable. For anyone who already owns the pen and now wants their own lines in it. $39
Paper refills, pack of three Three rolls of archival ribbon, hundreds of lines each. The top-up, not the starting point. $19
The three, one at a time The same contents across three orders. The route if you already own part of it, or want to spread it out. $39 + $39 + $19

Prices in USD, and all three finishes cost the same. Free shipping starts at $50 — the Kit clears that on its own, a single pen only clears it once something else is in the order. Nothing is locked either way: a pen bought today takes the same printer and the same rolls as a Kit bought a year from now, so no route closes another one off.

The pen alone

For the one line that has to exist somewhere.

Some words only need saying once. Tell us what to print when you order and the pen arrives with that scroll already rolled behind the window — nothing to charge, nothing to pair, nothing to learn before the first twist.

It is the simplest gift we sell for exactly that reason. At $39 it is a proper pen with a secret in it, and if they later want to write their own, the SneakPrint is a $39 addition that works with the pen already in their pocket.

  • Your first scroll printed and loaded before it leaves the workshop.
  • A real 0.5mm pen, 28g, in Midnight, Daydream or Heirloom.
  • Nothing to set up — it works out of the box, on its own.
  • Best for a single message, or a first gift you want to keep simple.
Shop the pen

The Kit

For the words that keep coming.

The pen holds one scroll at a time and takes about a minute to change. That only matters if you have the printer — which is why the Kit is the version most people end up with. Pen, SneakPrint and three rolls of paper arrive together, at $59 rather than $39 plus $39 plus $19.

Choose it when the pen belongs to a habit rather than a moment: a note before a flight, a line left on a Tuesday, thirty of them for a classroom on the last day of term. It also clears the $50 line on its own, so it ships free.

  • Pen, pocket printer and three paper refills in one box.
  • $59, and it clears the $50 free shipping line by itself.
  • No ink, ever — thermal printing, charged over USB-C.
  • Best when more than one person will want to write with it.

Still deciding

The questions that settle it.

Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll tell you which one to buy — including the times that's the cheaper answer.

Ask us which one
Can I buy the pen now and the printer later?

Yes, and plenty of people do. The pen, the printer and the rolls are the same items whether they arrive together or a year apart — there is no bundle-only version, nothing to register and nothing that stops working on its own.

Buy the pen at $39 today and add the SneakPrint at $39 whenever you want to write your own lines. The only things you give up by splitting it are the Kit price and a second delivery charge.

Is the Kit simply the three things in one box?

It is. The pen in your chosen finish, the SneakPrint printer and three rolls of archival paper, at $59 instead of $39, $39 and $19 bought one at a time. Same pen, same printer, same paper — one parcel and one price.

I already own the pen. What should I add?

The SneakPrint, at $39. That is the part that turns a pen holding our line into a pen holding yours, and it pairs with the finish you already have.

Paper refills are $19 for three rolls, and each roll holds hundreds of lines — most people are a long way off needing them.

Which one makes the better gift?

It depends what you want the moment to be. The pen alone at $39 is the gift that is already loaded: they twist it open and your words are there, with nothing to charge or set up. The Kit at $59 is the gift that carries on, because they can write their own from that evening onwards.

If you genuinely can't choose, a gift card lets them pick the finish and the format themselves.

How long does a roll of paper last?

Hundreds of lines per roll, so longer than most people expect. The three rolls in the Kit are there so paper is not something you have to think about; the $19 pack of three is what you buy when it finally is.

Do the finishes change the price?

No. Midnight, Daydream and Heirloom are all $39, and the Kit is $59 in any of them. Heirloom is the one that ships with a hand-polished steel clip made for engraving, which is the only practical difference between the three.

What if I choose wrong?

Thirty days to send it back for a full refund. An exchange is faster than a return followed by a fresh order — say which one you'd rather have and we post it the day the courier scans your return. Moving between the pen and the Kit means settling the difference, in whichever direction it falls.

The returns page has the detail.

Is shipping free on all of them?

Free over $50, which the Kit clears on its own. Below that it is $5 in the UK, $9 across Europe, $12 to the US and Canada and $16 elsewhere — so a pen and a pack of refills bought together clear the line, where neither does apart.

Everything is dispatched within 48 hours and tracked the whole way. The shipping page sets out the times.

Or don't decide at all

Let them pick the finish.

A gift card arrives by email in minutes, spends on any of the four, and takes the decision off your hands entirely.
