Great option for a beginner.

My boys were so happy to receive them in the mail. That meant our art class switched to calligraphy. Everything was as I expected.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

A dip pen that holds enough ink

For a dip pen that fills to the reservoir as directed, it holds more ink than most. The black ink is excellent and doesn't smudge or move when I add a watercolor fill. I tried to buy the ink separately and couldn't find the exact speedball ink. This pen is flexible enough for my calligraphy practice.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

I love it ^^ for pen

I really like this tip. The included pen is a little stiff but still writes very well and fluidly (I'll be buying more nibs as well), although for the low price it's quite good and overall I think it's a good pen for beginners.

Pros
  • GOLD PEN QUOTE - Includes (1) 513-EF Gold Plated Handcrafted Semi-Flexible Ballpoint Pen Tip
Cons
  • Unsafe

decent enough. Good for pen practice.

takes some getting used to. After the first time I got used to holding and pressing it to create the line width I wanted. I have already noticed a slight crack on the pin. I had it for several weeks. The ink is fine. I got the ink from Dr. F. Martin, she is much better. The ink is not as pigmented and looks gray in comparison. The cleaner also works well for the pen. However, mild soap and water gave the same results.

Pros
  • HIGH, VIBRANT CALLIGRAPHY INK KIT - Also includes (1) 41 oz/12 ml black super-pigmented acrylic painting ink. The ink is waterproof, lightfast, acid-free and archival.
Cons
  • old

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…

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
