Review: FUN!!! - i've only used one of the nibs of the 10 nib set but i'm having so much fun drawing with it. they hold ink for a pretty long time. who needs fountain pens?? and the lines they make look so good. you can make a bold thick line or a fine tiny line with the same nib. i love em! i'm also using speedball "super black" ink
Review: Good for the experienced hand, not so good for the beginner. - I have been doing calligraphy for a long time. Speedball C nibs are my current favorite. They get better with age. If you are a beginner - these will fight you until you learn how to show them respect and properly use them. Some complain that they grab the paper. some say the ink doesn't flow right. They are right. It's not working for them. Give me the same pen and I will have it working perfectly. Sometimes you have to carefully bend the metal a tiny bit. sometimes you have to slightly re-shape the brass ink channel. Beginners often use the wrong paper. This causes the edges to catch, or the paper to jam the ink channels. Poor paper can also cause the ink to run. Different inks act differently in the pen and on the paper. Try different inks and try different papers. Some papers are designed for calligraphy. It all comes down to experience. These nibs can glide like a good ice skater along the page and create beautiful works in the hands of someone with experience. I haven't yet tried the Brause Bandzug nibs yet. They are much more expensive and harder to get, but I'm sure they will probably be better. But when my Speedball pens are set up and broken in - they perform smoothly and perfectly, so I suspect they will be about the same. I suggest that beginners start with some well made Japanese or European felt or synthetic tipped calligraphy marker pens (Zig, Sakura, Yasutomo, Marvy etc.). Then graduate to Trustela Calligraphy Nibs, 18 Calligraphy Pen Nibs set or Mont Marte 9 Nib Calligraphy Set (the nibs on these pens are easier to use than the Speedball nibs). Get a good nib holder. I like wood ones. I like the Brause Calligraphy nib holders, they have a nice feel and a good width. Different inks work differently in the pen and on the paper. I like Pelikan 4001 series inks. Get a couple of 30 ml jars. I like their Royal Blue, Violet and Brown. I found this amazing looking ink - Diamine - Shimmering Fountain Pen Ink, Purple Pazzazz. I can't wait to try it out. Black is always good for practicing. ... and don't forget to clean your nibs well!! After rinsing under running water, gently slide a thin sheet of good paper under the brass ink channel on top and the one underneath the nib. don't use a paper that will disintegrate and get stuck under the channels. Ink solvent is good too. Watch some YouTube videos, and practice every few days. You'll get better and better. Once you've got them set up correctly, they will bring you great joy. Your friends and family will like getting your hand-made holiday cards, invitations and letters. Then they will ask you to do some for them. Maybe you can make some money at it. I find calligraphy to be relaxing and meditative. It is art. I love it! I hope you do too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with ink in the nibs or do I have to buy it separate?**
A: You have to buy ink.  The pen and nibs are used such that you dip the nib in ink to write.  Old school.

**Q: what pen do you use these with?**
A: This is a pen that you use for calligraphy. The nibs attach to the pen. All you need is ink and paper

**Q: are these good beginner nibs?**
A: Starter nibs set. They are quality that professionals will use. They have different levels of flex and pointed tip that is for copperplate type of inking. Beginners often start with manuscript pens. They are nibs of various widths and no flex. That is a different writing style. If you want to learn with a flexible pen, That's a good starter set.

**Q: Can Sumi ink be used with this particular pen & nibs or does it have to be speed ball ink? Thx**
A: I have used several quality inks and they seem to work fine. Not sure I have used Sumi ink.  I always clean the nibs when i’m Done so they don’t dry up and clog.  If the ink is thicker like for Japanese brush calligraphy it might not work.
