This pen has been a great... October 16, 2014 Verified Purchase

This pen has been a great addition to my inking tools and it's also my first fountain pen. It's a great first fountain pen. I have experience with nib pens but this was obviously a bit different. Although the instructions are foreign the pictures are easy enough to understand for those that have never used a fountain pen. Note that I bought a few new multiliners to get finer details. The Marvy LePens go well with it if you use the black nano ink.



It comes with a couple of blue black ink cartridges which are copic proof and very nice quality. I purchased the ultra black nano ink cartridges which of course work great with this pen (I left a review on those as well)



I found this while looking for some sort of good refillable brush pen and this is the greatest thing I could ask for. It's like a blessing that this was created. Allows me to get brush like strokes with the control of a nib pen. The lines are very clean and the pen is very versatile when it comes to the amount of difference you can get in line weight. I use it as my primary inking tool. It's replaced my beloved g-pen which I never thought would happen.



My inking process has also been greatly improved. My lines are much less hesitant and overall cleaner since the pen flows so beautifully. It's also nice since something that would usually take me over an hour to ink has been reduced to roughly half the time. So I can get to coloring like I want to.



I know a previous reviewer mentioned being wary of putting the cap on the back on the pen, which I am. Just be sure to press it on the back lightly and you should be all right. I do it though not only because it's a convenient place to keep the cap but it actually keeps the extra cartridge from moving about while using the pen which is very interesting and very welcomed. Without the cap on the back the extra cartridge will rattle around and make an annoying noise as well as shaking the pen a bit.



Overall this pen is great. I'm very glad I purchased it, and I'll most likely be trying out the other model. Right now this is great and more than what I could have asked for.



I also highly recommend that before you start inking an illustration you use a scrap paper to test out the angles and such. It helps me make sure I can get my thin lines and my thicker ones in the right places.
