Exactly what I wanted, fantastic value for money and lovely quality! As a student of illustration focusing on pen and ink these are perfect!

Buena calidad. Son un poco blandas pero como las utilizo para dibujar eso me viene mejor, le da más viveza al trazo. Trae una pieza para que la plumilla retenga mejor la tinta y así dura bastante. Lo malo es que solo viene una y tienes que estar cambiándola según la plumilla que quieras usar. La cajita está bien y me sirve para guardar más plumillas.

¡Excelentes plumas! ¡Excelente relación calidad-precio! Me encanta tener disponibles tantos anchos de punta. Durante años use las Speedball que son muy buenas también; pero después de un accidente, el daño en mi brazo derecho me hacía necesario encontrar plumas más suaves. Estas plumas son más flexibles y así, me esfuerzo mucho menos al manipularlas. Puede ser que los principiantes tengan problemas al principio para encontrar la carga justa para evitar que chorreen. Si esto sucede, no es un problema de la pluma, hay que descargar el exceso en un papel de prueba y manejarlas con suavidad. Es cuestión de práctica. Desde luego, no hay que olvidar que toda pluma nueva debe "curarse" para usarla por primera vez, limpiando el aceite protector de la corrosión que añaden de fábrica. Si no se limpia este aceite, la tinta no bajará, se quedará retraída en la parte alta, porque el aceite y el agua no se mezclan. Hay líquidos limpiadores especiales para plumas, pero no son indispensables, es suficiente sumergir la pluma nueva en un poco de líquido limpia vidrios que contenga amonia y después secar con un paño que no suelte pelusas. Algunos calientan la pluma con un cerillo para remover el aceite, pero se corre el riesgo de destemplar la pluma. Yo no lo hago así nunca; prefiero siempre el método del lavado con limpiador para vidrios o el específico para plumas. Aclaro esto porque encontré reseñas en que algunos usuarios se quejaban de que las plumas no sirven; es un error muy común. Las plumas funcionan perfectamente, sólo necesitan esa limpieza inicial y familiarizarse con su uso mediante la práctica constante.

My set was received open inside the box. The magnet attached itself to several of the loose nibs but there were some still loose. In the end only one was missing. I decided it wasn't worth the effort to return them. They really should bag this item or at least put some air pillows in with it. After starting on a disappointing note the set appears to be what I expected.

I returned mine, it was missing several nibs as a new product. The rest of the set was nice, and I was looking forward to playing with it, but instead I returned and went to ebay to get something else faster.

These are great nibs and a nib holder, but I purchased these believing them to be round tipped nibs, they are not, they are just standard nibs. I was not looking for this because I already have 2 pilot parallel pens that I prefer, but it does provide me with a wider variety of nib sizes, and I can use the reservoir on my Zebra Comic G nibs to make them hold ink better. Also, if you like the Tachikawa nib holder, these nibs don't work with it, and the Zebra Comic G nibs do not fit in the nib holder.

Nice and good product. Just one of the tips was not smooth, it was like bended and not soft at touch (I still have to use it to evaluate if it works or not, because it does not matter if it is smooth or not if it write ok). The wood stick to place the tips must be reviewed to improve the way to hold them, it is not easy to place the tips on it.The three stars are given not by the product but by the deliver and packaging. All the tips were groupped altogether and one trapped in the little space that devide each little boxes that supposed to contain each tip.

One of the nibs in this set is NOT what it's supposed to be (looks different than all the others, was not cut properly so the tines are uneven). All the other nibs perform perfectly.

My experience using this pen is 100% positive. The design is exactly like the Mitchell Roundhand pen which is one of my favorite dip pens. The quality is excellent. It is easy to clean. I believe this pen is absolutely suitable for a professional calligrapher - I am one. BTW: my book, Calligraphy For Dummies, explains fully the use and care of this pen.

This is a good beginner set for calligraphy. The only problem I had with it is that the holder doesn't work very well, I prefer the speedball calligraphy pen better, it holds the nibs in place, this one is a bit wobbly.
