If you like to use real ink and don't want to have to keep swapping cartridges to add colour to your writing then this pen is the answer to your problem. The nib is ridged and will hold a fair amount of ink. It is a little scratchy on the paper, but I have very small handwriting so the nib on this really suits my handwriting. Simply wash off in between colours. I bought the turquoise one, I am now thinking that this is actually better than the fountain pens I have, as I love adding colour to all my cards and letters and it is so much easier than having to flush the fountain pens out.

I'm pretty new to using inks, and I was interested in trying glass pens out. It works fine (not like much could go wrong with a glass stick) and looks fancy. Will make you feel 9 times cooler when drawing trust

Really easy to use, I bought Diamine inks. It holds a decent amount, I got around 2/3 of an A4 page done before needing to dip again. Hold at an angle, gently, and let pen glide. Slightly scratchy but it'll wear down gradually. For the money it's really good, pretty too. Comes in a box with foam insert. I have RSI so can't write a lot with normal ballpoint pens, I found this really comfy. Great for ink drawings too.

Do not expect too much from this pen. It was the cheapest I could find as it is my first but even at this price it is disappointing. Works okay on standard smooth flat paper but struggles on any kind of textured paper, where it tends to skip or give weak lines.Also, because of the problems it is very risky to used on finished watercolour work, wish that I had saved my money and invested in a better quality one.

Nice dip pen for entry users. Seems to dispense a lot of ink quickly, possibly because the ink channels at the nib are vertical whereas other pens the ink channels spiral around the tip. Also the tip is not fine, but almost bold. This could be partly due to the high ink flow. But overall it’s nice and definitely different to a regular ballpoint pen!
