![]() Took less time on the second pen, since I figured out what I was doing. The problem was in getting the ink to flow! After 10 minuets of invisible lines and circles and doodles, I took the pen apart and gave the cartridge a massive squeeze until I saw a bubble form on the bottom of the feed. No bleed through on regular notebook paper and it doesn't fan out like the ink in the Varsity. Once I got the ink flowing, it turned out reasonably well. This with the cheep feel overall is the reason for the 4/10 rating. ![]() Ran a small file over them and they are a little better. One pen the cap threads are great, the other is stripped just a bit. The holding section is knobbied (for lack of a better term) and not too bad to hold. That I don't mind as much as the cheep feel of the plastic. Takes about 1 1/4 turns to uncap the pen. The clear cap screws on and off and can be posted with a little effort. Not a bad thing, but not really my thing. They are not round in the body but faceted like a plastic drinking cup. The pens are made of plastic and come with 2 blue ink cartridges. Bear in mind that the only thing I have to really compare it to is the Varsity, which I really like, but is a bit wide nibbed for my taste. So I shall try to post my thoughts on this $4 pen. Since my budget was capped at $25 I ran to the hobby store where I got my Pilot Varsity and found these I was fully planing on buying a Parker Urban set tat I thought was $21, and turned out to be $55. If it wasn’t for my book I wouldn’t have known to try some other paper because my first calligraphy book never mentioned it and it Was only the second which was more detailed that had it.Hello all! Have you ever just had to have something? That is what happened to me today. I’ve only used the 2B attachment but I’ve gave the pen a really good try out and if You have the correct grade of paper then the pen works as it should. I was using a cheap writing pad just to perfect strokes but I went to my more calligraphy suitable paper and yes The pen works. Then I remembered in my calligraphy book it said not all paper was the same for calligraphy pens to work. When it arrived I’m with everyone and was Like omg this is rubbish and then I tried again and still I couldn’t finish a sentence, it was so splotchy. So due to wasting so much money I decided to get this kit over the deluxe only because of the price difference. ![]() I bought a more expensive one but it wasn’t a calligraphy fountain pen so it was useless for what I needed it for. I wanted to learn calligraphy to help my MH so I’ve been gathering supplies and got all the wrong ones winging it and when I bought a particular book it referenced the 2B pen particularly. I felt like I needed to leave this review because the negative ones almost put me off buying them.
