🖋️ STAEDTLER Calligraphy Pen Set - Complete 33 Piece Tin Ideal for All Skill Levels - 899 SM5, Assorted Colors Review

Too bad we didn't use the Manuscript brand. I've had the manuscript for years and thought it would be a better buy as it had more pens and colors to suit her liking. Not afraid. I taught them, everyone had their own sets and it was very frustrating for them. They ended up using my pens because they didn't have a continuous flow. They always seemed to stop in the middle of the letter. Also, the ink was too thin and therefore flowed too quickly when it finally arrived. It bled profusely…

Glad to have found a cheap calligraphy set. I didn't realize until they arrived that "inexpensive" actually meant "terribly cheap". Ink does not flow well. You'll get uneven slanting if you keep lifting the pen and having to redraw half of the letter. At first I thought it was a bad tip, but each tip was tested with the same result. Absolutely impossible to write at a 45 degree angle. This results in jagged, blotchy letters. Even the simplest letters become awful and lose all hope of color as…

Counterfeiters have made the cartridge cylinder about 1 cm longer to increase the pressure in the active cartridge: 1. Take a square of toilet paper2. cut in half 3. fold the folded paper lengthwise and crosswise 4. cut the toilet paper roll into a piece approx. 1.1-1.2 cm long5. Insert the reel into the back of the plastic case (the longer back of the marbled handle). 6. Follow the instructions in the documentation to install the ink cartridge. The extra pressure on the ink cartridge should…

As I'm older I've come from a time when most people used some sort of pen or pencil to write (before computers!). I was playing around with handwriting on my computer and thought it would be interesting to learn and practice calligraphy. This set really has everything you need - several nibs of different widths, several ink cartridges and four pens. The kit also includes a small booklet to get you started with calligraphy and a booklet of practice paper. I enjoy seeing how whimsical I can write

Good. I remove my good rating. After two short uses, half of the handles broke and started leaking. One dried up overnight and is now completely clogged. I can't believe how cheap these things are. I have used fountain pens/calligraphic pens for many years. I don't claim to be an expert, but I'm pretty good at cleaning, charging, replacing nibs, etc. I use my pens every day to write letters, travel, and draw. I use Speedball, Lamy, Sheaffer, Pilot, Feathers, Glass and a few others. Because I…

was very enthusiastic about it and very disappointed immediately after the test. Given that this is a famous brand, I never expected to cry in vain. The packaging is impeccable. Love his tin canister. The overall view is amazing. However, the handles are made of plastic. You look beautiful. 4 different colors in their marble design. Under the tray is an exercise mat and set instructions. Then trying out the pens would have to be the most enjoyable and rewarding part. Unfortunately it was the…

I had high hopes for this set but these pens were a pain to use. They can be good for those who want to practice as a beginner, but can also be frustrating compared to other calligraphy pens. Pen bodies appear to be cheap plastic, but at first glance they appear to be different. The set as a whole is impressive and makes a great gift, but prove them wrong when you use it. does not match. I had some trouble getting the ink to flow from the cartridges to the pen, even after rinsing the tips under
