Is this pen good for calligraphy? Can anyone post a picture of how well they can get it to work for calligraphy?

This is a fountain pen, medium nib, not a calligraphy pen. For calligraphy, buy a Lamy Safari with an italic (1.1 or 1.5 mm) nib.

Most of the inks used for calligraphy will be too dense for this pen and willhence clog it.. I wont advise doing so

The Nemosine is available with two sizes of untipped stub nibs which would be adequate for calligraphy. I use it as a signature pen. You would be better served by an actual italic nib, as mentioned in Mr Meyers answer.

In my opinion, it seems to be a normal type of pen , which would make it a medium. It is not a fine point and bold is one I never used.

I have used this pen on newsprint, sketching pad paper and drawing pad paper and never had any problems with it. I purchased a whole box because I was that happy with the one pen that I had gotten.

Hi Supermom: You can use this pen with the little ink cartridges made for it or you can use the refillable one that comes with it. You just hold the valve end into a bottle of ink while pulling up on the little plunger which sucks the ink into the chamber and, bingo! Insert it into the nib just like you would a prefilled cartridge. Get ink specifically for fountain pens. Other inks may clog the nib too often. If it is archival quality it will say so on the bottle. These pens are not maintenance free at all. But if you get one that flows really well, it is a joy to use. Certain people just like the scratch and flow of liquid ink vs. ball point pens. The calligraphy squared-off nib on this peb is especially fun and there aren't very many fountain pen manufacturers that make a really high end pen with a calligraphy nib. This one is not considered high end, but it is much nicer than the plastic ones. (I'm not knocking the plastic ones - I like anything with different width nibs and a good flow!) Lots of Duke owners love this pen. Mine won't flow so I'm going to try a higher quality ink to see if that helps. There are other adjustments I can try before I give up on it - it's a great looking, good-feeling pen and the nib is nice quality. TMI?

The pen came with a medium nib. You can purchase other nibs from Jinhao or their suppliers. I believe I swapped this out to a 14kt stub nib from Jinhao. This is a very heavy pen. It's good for signatures but not for extensive writing.

Sorry, I have never used the pen. The tip didn't last long enough to use it.

Contact Wacom, they have incredible customer service. My pen has worked absolutely fine since I received it.

I'm not sure where to find the model number on the pen? Also, I just saw a note on my comment with Amazon that I can return the pen since it appears to be a counterfeit.Thanks,D. Kelly Starr

This pen may not work for you. It is pretty light weight. Although, I am not aware of the weight of the black plastic. I would say it is probably much better made.

Sorry - this pen was purchased as a gift for someone else so I really don't know anything about what it will do.

You can write just like you use to. It will not recognize your hand, its impossible to do so. its easy and 99% accurate for handwriting. If you want to draw, its not as accurate as handwriting.

I tried it and it doesn't work well at all. I would not recommend using it for that purpose. It works well if using a marker or an ink pen but not a pencil. Go figure huh???

This pen has a very small head. I think that it might work for your needs, but not sure if the width is small enough.

This pen uses a #5 nib. Any #5 nib will work. It doesn't have to be fine, medium, broad, italic or a calligraphy nib. Any #5 nib means ANY #5 nib so ignore some of the silly answers you've gotten. You might be able to fix the nib you have. It's worth a try because you're not out anything if you are ready to try replacing it anyway and it might save you trying to find another #5 nib. To close the gap on a nib gently bend the nib tines downward towards the feed. The two sides of the nib where it splits at the end are the tines, like fork tines. That fat part on the very tip is called the "ball" or the "lobe". Leave the nib in the pen with the feed in place. The feed is that rubber/plastic black thing under the nib. You're trying to put a VERY SLIGHT hook in the nib downwards towards the feed. You'll need to use a fine tweezers for this and look at it under good magnification. You want both tines exactly even, if they're not even that is what causes the "scratchy" feel as you write. Bending them downward closes them and upward opens them. You can use that information to also open up a nib that writes too dry. Conversly bending down a nib that writes too wet will dry it up some. There must ALWAYS be a tiny gap between the tines and the halves of the ball or lobe, the tines should not close completely on the tip. It helps a lot to have a jewelers loupe or a strong magnifying glass to do this. Jewelers that sell fountain pens will often do this for free or at a very minimal charge for you too. TO EVERYONE ELSE -- If you don't KNOW the answer to someone's question, PLEASE do not guess. It's not helpful to do that no matter how well-meaning you are. Someone that already has a problem is just going to get more frustrated if you give them well-intentioned but bad information.

This pen has a soft tip that creates beautiful thin or bold lines, it should be able to give nice hand lettering style but it is also difficult for us to say it "WILL or WILL NOT" match to VRSLY. Best thing is buy one and try it.

Yes, very well. I bought 2 (or 3, I don't remember) specifically for use with fountain pens and they work great. Nice bright white paper, no bleedthrough or feathering. I use mostly Diamine inks.

I have with a regular ball point pen and so far have not had any trouble but I would not recommend writing with a gel pen. it takes longer for the "ink" to dry.
