Artpens are modern fountain pens, but their elegant design preserves the feel and balance of traditional dip pens.

I wasn't too fussy about looks, I did think it was a little bland, but quite attractive in a quirky way compared to fountain pens of the time, but what upped the score was the fact it was quite slender, sleek and old fashioned (I thought it looked like an old fashioned dip pen). Ideal for fine drawing, sketching, drafts and good for colouring large areas as they feature robust fibre tips for even and precise strokes.Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. The ribs on the section are what really annoyed me in this pen, because these ribs cut very unpleasantly into my fingers. I will pass on doing a review on this one for now, I think the Lamy series have had so many reviews by so many people who are very experienced I cannot see if there is anything I could add that hasn't been covered.

Rotation–sensitive at 360º, you can change the width of its stroke by simply turning the pen's barrel (software must support rotation–sensitivity). Now I'm using Pelikan's Brilliant Black and although it's not as vibrant as Rotring's own ink, it still isn't bad. The Lamys and Schneiders - even the cheapest Chinese - are so very much better there's simply no comparison. I just wanted to congratulate for your good and deep review for those three pens; I also wanted to ask if you know how would that Platinum KDP-3000 compare to the Platinum 3776 UEF in regards of line thinness? e. the pen-holder together with the nib) is longer than most conventional pens, which gives you more space to decide the position you are most comfortable with gripping the pen.It isn't ugly, it isn't stunning it is quite functional in appearance and it did look as if it would work.

Get this pen or the cheaper DP-1000AN if you want to explore drawing with really needlepoint crisp lines. The nibs can be a little skippy on coated/smooth paper, which can be annoying, but overall they perform well.I had no problems with hatching (other than the already mentioned hook marks if I wasn’t careful) and the smooth flow of the ink made shading a joy. This is how the pen holder looks like on its own (the nib may be removed by unscrewing it from the top of the pen holder).
