About this deal

ArtPens and Carbon Pens can use each other’s inks with no apparent problems, and I have seen a report that the ArtPen is capable of running unmodified Indian ink. I haven’t tried this, but I would be reluctant to leave such ink in the pen for any significant time. Other special designs Indigraph

In this article, we bring you the best Rotring pens available today, across a range of pen types, so you're sure to find what you're looking for. I was able to lay down lines with no unexpected breaks due to ink flow issues. I did find that broken lines were a little more challenging draw because the ink flowed so readily but again, this is something to get used to rather than a fault with the pen. I’d rather have reliable ink flow.Like all the best Rotring pens, its premium construction means it's designed for a lifetime of use, and breakages are minimal. This makes it a great option for anyone needing a precision instrument for frequent writing, drawing and/or sketching. The knurled grip is comfortable over long hours, and it comes with a built-in eraser too. Line width variance was pleasingly simple – a slight turn of the nib produced a noticeable change in stroke size and I’m looking forward to putting the Art Pen through its paces on a larger test piece. You can see this in the foliage of my tree doodle. Hatching and shading Convert the pen into an “eyedropper” pen, allowing you to use the whole barrel as a large reservoir. Safety pens were originally designed in the early twentieth century to allow them to be carried on an aeroplane without leaking. This isn’t usually a problem with modern fountain pens, as materials technology has improved a lot since then, but you should still be wary of using a fountain pen in flight. The problem is a difference in air pressure between the air in the ink reservoir and the air outside of the reservoir, in this case in the cabin of an aircraft. The air in the reservoir will be at a higher pressure than that in the cabin, and so, if you remove the cap of a conventional fountain pen while flying, you run the risk of experiencing a sudden equalisation of air pressure through the tiny capillaries of the feed, resulting in an explosion of ink. You can avoid this by:

One thing that’s quite surprising is how narrow the majority of the pen is. Again, I suspect this was to model the pen on dip pens or quills but that main body of the pen (the bit you hold) is a comfortable 10mm in diameter so it’s wide enough where it matters. The mid-priced Rotring 600 is one of the brand's most iconic and popular mechanical pencils. This all-metal, silver pencil offers the benefits of precision lead advancement and an adjustable lead hardness grade indicator, which helps for easy identification when working. The high quality of the best Rotring pens makes them particularly popular amongst professional drafters, students and others involved in technical drawing. But they're also good for outlining, shading, sketching, artwork and calligraphy, making them a good choice for both professional artists and anyone learning how to draw. Tintenkuli Stylograph in Lined Burgundy Marble with gold filled trim. In Near Mint condition. Piston fill. Works Perfectly. The design has the added benefit of being easy to clean. In a conventional fountain pen, the feed presents a problem, because, no matter how far you disassemble the pen, you just can’t get at the narrow capillary channels. In a parallel plate design, the capillary action takes place between the plates. It is often enough to wipe between the plates with the supplied tool (a thin rectangle of flexible plastic), but if that fails, the whole pen can be taken apart and you can clean each part, including the bare plates, separately.The Indigraph is an otherwise conventional fountain pen with a humidifier in the cap, preventing the feed from drying out. It’s a relatively recent innovation and the pen looks very well made, but I haven’t – so far – been tempted to buy it. It’s the most expensive pen listed here and, while it doesn’t come with a flexible nib, it seems that it can be fitted with one.
