Review on Multicolor 8-Pack Kuretake Zig MS34008V Memory System Calligraphy Markers by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality calligraphy markers

I have been writing calligraphy for over 25 years and use a variety of calligraphy pens and markers. I really like these calligraphy markers compared to other brands of calligraphy markers. Each marker is double-ended with a 2mm and a 5mm felt tip. This is a nice and useful feature. I usually prefer the small nozzle. This set includes pure red, pure green, pure blue, and pure black markers. The colors are very bright and rich. I use these markers for scrapbooking and to write names on the envelopes of greeting cards and invitations. The ink is acid-free, photo-safe, and archival quality, making it ideal for scrapbooking. Calligraphy on envelopes always looks elegant and sophisticated. I always get compliments on my lyrics. Many recipients of my cards and invitations say they keep the envelopes. I would like to say that I have been using calligraphy fountain pens for many years. Ink flows smoothly and writing looks crisp. However, there are disadvantages to using fountain pens. First, the ink in fountain pens is not permanent and will fade over time. Second, the ink I used wasn't labeled acid-free, photo-safe, or archival quality. Third, the ink in the pen will dry up and clog the pen if it is not used for a while. In fact, it was my biggest annoyance. Since I don't use pens regularly, I often encountered this problem. After all, fountain pens can sometimes get dirty. You can run for a variety of reasons. I highly recommend the Zig Memory System calligraphy markers. I also bought six packs of Zig Memory System black calligraphy markers. I plan to buy a larger set with more colors in the future.

Pros
  • Includes 8 markers in different colors
Cons
