These pens are truly awful

I bought these pens because of the rave reviews I read on here. I've been writing lettering and calligraphy for 43 years and these are the worst nibs I've ever tried. They don't hold ink at all, they bounce (even when writing), they chew on your paper - whatever, they suck. The only way to get them to work is to use durable paper and very heavy ink. for anything more than worth the money, save by opting for a higher quality but undeniably more expensive set. I have carefully compared them to my

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Can I add something

Great value for money

I recently got a sleeping one Passionate about drawing and calligraphy and decided it was time for new nibs. I used to be able to walk into an art store and (easily) buy a handful of feathers of different sizes. Today I'm forced to buy a package that contains what I really don't need. In this case it is. Overall the kit had what I needed and the price was definitely right.

Pros
  • A-STYLE GLOVES - includes (2) A-Style Tips (A2, A5) perfect for any gothic or monolinear typeface with lines of equal width and square finish
Cons
  • too silly

Great for trying out multiple tips

I've become a speedball fan. I love the products they make and these pens are no exception. I got an assortment to try out some of the nibs I haven't tried yet and it was cheaper to buy a set than buying them individually. I have since tried all of them and they work very well. Of course, I have my favorites compared to others, but this is a good opportunity to try a few at once.

Pros
  • Art & Craft Supplies
Cons
  • Available in white only

Large Set of Calligraphy Pens

In this range you will find a variety of pens to cover just about anything you might want to do in calligraphy and even more in graphics. As with any basic set, it contains the essentials but no frills. He can't do everything, so of course they make other feathers. If you want thin lines, get another set. Holders are not included so bring your own or purchase a kit that includes one. But this is a great set to cover most A, B and C calligraphy pens.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Expensive

Good starter kit

I wanted to get into calligraphy so I bought this kit along with Margaret Shepherd's Learning Calligraphy book and Waterman Blue Ink. As a beginner I can't go into too much detail but so far I like it this set very well. There is a wide range of nozzles for different purposes. I've found that some feathers can be described as "scratching" in my opinion. They picked up the fibers from the paper, making the letter and page a little blurry. Of course, it's a $2 grid notebook that I was given just…

Pros
  • Drawing
Cons
  • Slightly torn
