## Description

Draw, write and letter with Zebra Manga G nibs in our Classic Pump Pen using any ink, even India ink, and all drawing paints. The Zebra Manga G nibs is popular with artists for its fine line, flexible tip, and wide line variation. You can remove the nib to clean or replace it - just pull out the old nib and stick in the new. You can also use the Brause Rose, Hunt drawing nibs, and our Sketch nib. Use other feeds to draw with the Tachikawa and Nikko Manga G nibs. Use our adapters to draw with crowquills and Gillott 303 nibs. Gravity flow works all the time, but if you want a stronger flow, press the pump. You get what you press, from a drop to a gush. Great for inking in large areas, working with thicker inks, and kick starting a new nib. This pen is delivered with our standard feed, which suits most popular inks and drawing paints. To change the feed, pull out the old feed and slip in the new. This pen has an attractive retro design, but the real benefits are in the internal configuration, so not obvious. The cap screws on and off, and the last twist locks the threads to secure against leakage. Expose the hole in the cap to release internal air pressure when you uncap the pen, then cover the hole when you cap the pen to seal against leakage. We use a material to which nothing sticks, so ink or paint won't dry out and build up. The pen is durable and solid, built to last a lifetime. The feed picks up ink directly from the reservoir so there are no narrow channels to plug up. You can field strip the pen in half a minute. The large capacity reservoir lets you draw all day and not run out. Remove the reservoir to double your capacity - the tight threads prevent leakage. We developed and improved this pen over 20 years using feedback from artists who shared their opinions with us. Attach our Brush Tool to the back so you can wash your drawings with water or dilute ink to maximize the expression of your drawn lines, or add a touch of watercolor.

Review: Brilliant! Draw with G nibs or other dip nibs. Pump the ink as needed. Delivery may be very slow. - Update. I like this pen so much that I placed an order for two more directly through Ackerman's website. This second order took 3 months to arrive. This is not unreasonable for a handmade pen. I have waited several months for other handmade pens to be available. What was uncomfortable was the complete lack of communication or response to inquiries and the fact that payment had already been made. These days, are all rather wary and cynical about online commerce. Rightly so, there's a lot of sharks. Collecting payment and then not responding is a bright red flag. If you Google this pen you will find a lot of angry, frustrated reports. However, in this case, it's just that, a flag and no more. If you have the patience for this, I say it's well worth it. You get the pen in the end but there's no hand holding in the meanwhile. If you have low tolerance for this sort of thing, skip it. There are alternatives. I just received my pen. About 8 days from desertcart order date. There was an error on my part which needed to be corrected by email. Vendor responded the following weekend and resolved the problem. Dip nibs have extremely variable flow demands. The line swells from hairline to full in a short distance. A modified Jinhao or similar will still have a fixed flow rate. But with this pen, the pump allows you to regulate the ink flow to thirsty nibs like Manga G. Unlike most pens where the flow rate is automatic, this is a manual transmission - you get more control at the price of more attention and skill on your part. It remains a dip pen but the dipping is 'built in'. The ink reservoir has no piston and must be filled with an eye dropper.. That's usually enough for one drawing. I am tempted to try this w/o the reservoir. After prepping the nib, the pen worked flawlessly. It feels like a dip pen, you have to stay aware of the ink charge but instead of dipping you just squeeze the pump. And just like a dip pen, it can drop a blot if you aren't careful. It seems to accept any full size dip pen nib that has a straight back. The nib pulls out like with a dip pen. The whole pen comes apart easily. The pen is very solidly made. You could probably drive over it and suffer no more than scuffing. It's also quite small without the cap posted. The pen is much more slender than it appears in the pix. The look is austere. It's a matte delrin rod. It's designed as a tool, not a piece of jewelry. I really like it. Others may find it too austere. The cap posts with a friction fit which is very stiff at first. Be careful you don't splatter ink when popping it on or off. This is a one man, weekend business. His pens have been steadily improved and now seem to work very well. I find a lot of complaints from earlier times about non responsiveness or slow orders. Perhaps he has someone to help with the management now, in any case, the recent reports are much improved. Expect to wait for the weekend to get a reply. The upside is a handmade specialty pen for $45 is an amazing deal. Especially when it includes an important innovation. There is no other pen like this available.
Review: If you like a calligraphy nib... JUST GET IT - Honestly, I am very pleased with this pen. It feels pretty nice in my hand and it has definitely allowed me to use my favorite calligraphy nibs on a fountain pen. I wouldn't recommend this for travel as it leaked after a short drive in my back pack. The startup can be tricky at times, but really all I do is slide the nib up and down, give it a light pump, or shake it a bit. One of these three actions will be the ticket. I'm also happy how easily you can get the the nib out. Especially for nibs that you don't want covered in ink for too long. So if you really like a calligraphy nib and wish you can use it in a fountain pen... get it. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you don't. Pros: - You can use a Zebra-G or Brause Rose nibs (and others) - Good flow and will rarely railroad once properly set up - Great utility - Easily swaps nibs Cons: - Burps when traveling - Some tricky starts (easily remedied) (Sometimes the pump doesn't do much) - Doesn't come in more colors Dear Ackerman Pens. I love this pen! If you make these in different colors, I would definitely buy more!

## Features

You can also use the Braue Rose, Hunt drawing nibs, and our Sketch nibs in this pen. Switch the feed if you want to work with the Nikko or Tachikawa Manga G nibs.
- [Use any ink or paint] Most fountain pens are designed for writing with drawing as an afterthought. The purpose of our pens is to draw all day using your favorite ink and nib, and enjoy the experience. Nothing sticks to the inside of this pen, so you don’t have to worry about plugging it up. The pen is easy to clean - you can field strip and reassemble it in half a minute
- [Fountain pens refillable] The large capacity ink storage area lets you draw all day and not worry about running out. Use the cartridge to gain double wall protection. Carry extra cartridges with caps so you can snap in a refill. You can remove the cartridge to double the capacity. The tight threads prevent any leakage. Easy to fill and refill.
- [Artist pens] Expand the function of this pen by attaching our Brush Tool to the back. Just press it on when you want to use it, and pull it off when you don’t. Fill with water or dilute ink to wash your drawings and maximize the expression of your drawn lines. Fill with water with and dab the brush into your watercolor palette to add color.

- [Classic vs Basic Fountain Pens] This is a Classic Fountain Pen consisting of four pieces - the cap, body, barrel and reservoir - which provides a double wall of protection. Our Basic Fountain Pens consist of two pieces - the cap and the body. You fill the pen from the front - very easy - which makes our Basic Fountain Pens simpler and cheaper than our Classic Fountain Pens.
- [Classic Pump Pens vs Classic Fountain Pens] We also provide Classic Fountain Pens for this nib - same as our Classic Pump Pens but without a pump. Gravity flow works all the time, so you don’t need the pump except to encourage thicker inks and paints to flow, fill in large areas, and kick start a new nib. The choice is yours.

### ⭐ Disappointed
*by J***N on December 12, 2019*

Did not meet my expectations, especially for the price. Before the ink dried up and rendered the pen useless it was inconsistent at best. Whatever material they use that nothing sticks to... well, it wasn't used on this pen. The small o ring or washer in the cartridge also fell out. I'm truly disappointed in this pen.
