Decent ink flow and very thin, even lines.

The pen writes very fine lines and requires little pressure to change the line. However, if you want fine hairlines with very little variation, this is your tool. Ink flow is wonderful, although the nib is a little scratchy, which I attribute to the thinness. With a "G" I assumed this would have flexibility similar to a traditional G spring on a dip pen. I ended up gouging out the Bristol I used to get a decent variation in line width. Interesting product, just not what I was hoping for.

A great alternative to traditional dip sticks.

I love dipping markers, but I don't like fragile tips and constant switching. Worse still, the quality of the nibs varies greatly and two identical nibs may have different defects. The School-G pen is an expensive investment, but the quality is fantastic. You get the fine, varied lines of a fountain pen without the hassle of dipping and cleaning.

Fun, Portable, Maintenance Free

It's a fun, portable, and easy way to try the G-Pen. With the right pressure you get a decent line width. Use smooth, strong paper. The pen has sharp metal tips and tears the material like regular copy paper. As others have said, it does require a bit of maintenance to keep the ink in the pen from drying out. It is enough to write even a small sketched line every day. However, you can recover from its dehydration. I've tried the advice of another reviewer and so far it's worked every time. Pour
