SheafferCalligraphy Maxi Kit with Black, Yellow, and Blue Pens and Assorted Nibs and Inks

These are good calligraphy pens, especially for a beginner. They are good for beginners because the new to calligraphy pens person does not have to worry about the potential mess of an open bottle or dish of ink. I have a set and gave a set to my niece. Like all calligraphy pens they take practice to use. You will get ink on your hands at first and likely later on but that is the way it is with all calligraphy pens and gets better as you get better. They are easy to load, just be sure that there is a slight click or pop. That means the cartridge is all the way in. You cannot right directly up and down with these pens but that is normal. The only drawback to these pens is that the cartridges do not come in a lot of colors and there does not seem to be a converter to use bottled. To get around I just save and clean my old cartridges and fill them with a syringe. One final thing. Some say that you cannot you these for everyday writing. I would say that depends on what you are writing. I use the fine tipped one for a lot of normal writing, journals, grocery lists, letters, etc.

Good quality calligraphy pen. Doesn't skip or bleed depending on paper but can leak but still love because I've had scheaffer pens before. I love the mini kit. Will order refill black cartridges.

Having some experience with felt tip calligraphy pens (straight edge, not brush), I wanted to dabble in some more traditional calligraphy. These were easy to load with the included cartridges and start using right away. Loved that there were several colors of inks to play with. Used these to address Christmas cards and they turned out just lovely. Ink is not waterproof but more water and smudge resistant than another brand fountain pen I own. Would buy this brand again for fountain and calligraphy pens. Haven't yet identified which converter i would use to fill these pens with my own ink, but would be interested in trying that out in the future.

I’m new to calligraphy and having better luck with tiny chisel markers made for calligraphy and with brush pens. However, there are many color cartridges to experiment with in this set. When I have been able to get the flow correct, these do well. But if I stop a few minutes it takes work to get the same flow going. Pretty and feel comfortable.

Everything was #1

It works. I've used Sheaffer pens for a long time and I always liked them. Until now.I still like my old one. I moved the new tip into my old pen. The holes on the side of the barrel are very distracting and catch on my hand. I can't imagine why they're necessary anyway. It's nice to see the ink level, but my old pen is translucent and shows the ink cartridge without making it harder to write.One thing I really like is that /all/ the parts on both pens are completely interchangable. So, new nib in my old pen works great. I'll keep the other one around for backup.

Been using Sheaffer since I was a child and they always work and never scratchy or blotchy like the other brands. Stick with Sheaffer

This was the only I purchased from Amazon that the ink finally worked. The pen is grand but it won’t be if the ink doesn’t work. I even ordered separate ink and still nothingBuy the pen you’ll be glad you did

Excellent set. Reliable nibs that feel great, seven or eight ink colors, the plastic feels nice, the grip is comfortable and rubberized. Cheap but not on quality.

Schnelle Lieferung, alles bestens!Ich habe seit meiner Schulzeit, über 30 Jahre, einen Sheaffer-Füller und liebe ihn. Man hat damit eine super schöne Schrift.Der Füller muss natürlich eingeschrieben werden, aber es ist ein toller Füller mit 3 verschiedenen Federn zum tauschen.Vielen Dank, Gerne wieder.

Pens are made of very fragile plastic.Ink flow is very poor.

Tres grosores de plumín caligráfico, fáciles de intercambiar y de escritura muy suave. Mi única duda son los cartuchos de recambio: no queda nada claro cuáles son compatibles. Tendré que llevar uno vacío a una papelería.

Ho scritto le participazioni e menù con questo kit. È stata la prima volta che ho usato la penna calligrafica. Ottimo kit per chi inizia.
