Rotring ArtPen Calligraphy Pen - 1.5 mm

smooth ink flow... Nice pen, and the 2.3mm nib lays down a lot of ink, consistently, as you would hope. Pop in one of the cartridges (included) and start writing. It doesn't get much easier than that...

Love at first stroke.
Seriously, as soon as I started using this pen, it was love. The flow was consistent and started up pretty quickly after I began using it. It's good, solid plastic, and very light (a plus for anyone who always needs to have their pens in their bag like I do!). It's very durable and I've gone without using it for a few weeks sometimes and never experienced any problems with the ink drying out, which is a huge plus for me.

The one downside of this pen is that the back end is tapered (you can see that in the picture), which means that the cap can't sit on the end of it. I'm always worried I'm going to lose it!

Now a word of warning, the default ink that comes inside it is NOT waterproof. It will not hold up to washes. While that can create some neat effects, I bought the converter and put in my own waterproof ink.
