Good tip overall suitable for drawing, painting and art supplies

I am starting calligraphy and have learned the best pens. Usually others recommend Nikko, Zebra and Tachikawa G. I've been using Tachikawa for about 2 months and just started using Nikko G. The Nikko G pen was easier to write on, but it doesn't hold as much ink as the Tachikawa pen. Overall I like Nikko G and have no complaints. Note: Other reviewers have reported that they only received 2 quills, but I received 3 quills as advertised.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Seniors

The best pen for beginners!

This tip was recommended to me by Lindsey Bagby of thepostmensknock.com and I can see why! It was very patient with me as I am learning calligraphy and working great with yasutomo sumi ink and 32# laser paper. I have used this pen in my Koh-i-Noor straight cork holder and slanted Scribbler with excellent results. Remember to cook them in potatoes first to get rid of the maker's oil! This 3 pack is a great value and I highly recommend it!

  • Pleasant

Very easy to use as a beginner

This is my first experience as a beginner in calligraphy. I have read many comments and most calligraphers recommend Nikko G due to the medium's softness. I find it very easy to learn as a beginner. Some comments say the clip breaks the paper, I have to choose the right calligraphy paper instead. The paper should be thin/smooth and accept ink well. I use it on 140lb watercolor paper for my paintings and I see that 120lb inkjet paper is recommended online. A quality pair of tweezers that Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Secret

Amazing pliers!

This is amazing! I'm new and needed to write wedding invitations. I got the speedball nibs from the hobby hall, they've arrived here now and oh wow, what a difference! They write a finer line than the speedball tips which I prefer! This makes writing on the copper plate more attractive. Seriously recommend if that's what you need. I will mention that the tip is thinner and more pointed, which suits me, but just want to mention this in relation to some of the other reviews about the tip tearingโ€ฆ

They were recommended to beginners on several sites

I recently decided to take up calligraphy to create my own birthday/Christmas cards. I googled a few options and finally settled on this pen set, the Speedball Calligraphy Ink Palette Set, Calligraphy Practice Cloths (sealed and a definite difference from regular printing paper) and the Tachikawa Comic Pen Holder. They were recommended by several beginner sites, so I chose them. I think they all work great. I can say that this is a beginner's pen, it's a bit stiffer than I imagined (separateโ€ฆ

Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Good tip at a good price

Just a background. When I was about 8 years old, all the students had to go to pen and ink classes. I struggled and since then my handwriting has become terrible. I've tried going back to calligraphy many times over the decades, but I've given up. Three years ago I felt inspired again and bought this pen. I gave up again. Due to Covid and time to myself I decided to try again. I can decide! Well, I've had good experiences with the Tombow Brush Pen. I tried writing with cheap glitter pens, theyโ€ฆ
