Review on Speedball Products SB94157 Signature Calligraphy by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

So much. FAIL. on Drawing

Can't think of any PROs in this set.1. The pen holder has some sort of absorbent material on the inside, and when I washed the pen in cleaner and the end of the holder in cleaner, it soaked up so much that the interior expanded and cracked the once-luxurious exterior. . The spring is perhaps the worst of all the springs I've experimented with. The flow is inconsistent for all the ink I use despite not being a flexible tip. I'll never use it again after switching to Zebras, Leonhardts, Stenos, etc.3. The ink bleeds worse than any other ink I've used and contrary to their claims, it's nowhere near waterproof. I wouldn't even call it waterproof.4. Cleaning lady - Just ok. Requires longer spring soak than Dr. PH Martin's Bombay to clean them fully and the container it comes in doesn't make it easy to put it in a more suitable container.

Pros
  • FOR ARTISTS OF ALL LEVELS - An excellent choice for beginners, this set is ideal for modern styles of calligraphy and ornamental work.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
