## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the nibs be changed without taking the ink cartridge out.**
A: No. The nibs are attached to the grip sections which each fit an ink cartridge. To switch nibs, you need to switch the cartridge to the new nib assembly or use a new ink cartridge with the new nib.That being said, the quality of the nibs in this set is much worse than Manuscript's other sets.They look good but are scratchy and almost impossible to use.

**Q: Any suggestions as to how to get the ink flowing? If not, these nibs are useless.**
A: If you are using cartridges, check they are pushed in correctly, then if there is still no ink, hold the pen and shake it downwards with a flick of the wrist, with the nib pointing down, above some spare paper - the force of gravity will usually take the ink through and out of the nib. 
If you are using bottled ink with the converter (with a black twist top), once it is securely inserted, twist the top to squeeze a drop of ink down the nib.
You could also try mixing a drop of washing up liquid in water and filling, then twisting the converter to squirt water through the nib and clean the pen. Just in case there is any manufacturing gunk left inside. 
I hope this helps.

**Q: All nibs I have tried keep blotting, do you have any suggestions?**
A: Hi, it may be that you are pressing down on the nib too hard, making too much ink come out?

**Q: Is the 6 nib Calligraphers set suitable for copperplate style?**
A: I am no expert but I think you need a flexible nib for copperplate. The Manuscript 6 Nib Calligraphers Set is for italic and round hand styles; the nibs are rigid and the thicks and thins of the letters are formed by the angle of the nib. The thicks and thins of copperplate letters are formed by the pressure on the flexible nibs used for that style; it's harder to do.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter set for all ages.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 September 2014*

I have a set of dip pens for caligraphy, but sometimes it's nice to just have a ready to go pen for letters and suchlike. This pen feels a bit cheap to be honest. The plastic cap and barrel are quite light and feel a little tight, so it's a little difficult to close the tip and barrel and lid.The nibs are decent quality and write smoothly without dripping or spotting and even the cheap small ink cartridges will fit. The ink converter works well, but also feels cheap and a little fragile, so needs a bit of care when filling from a bottle.As a set to help a young person learn calligraphy, or as a quick use pen for letter writing or journal notes these are ideal for the task. So far nothing has broken, much to my surprise so it appears to be robust enough for teenager abuse. The nibs supplied with the pen are basic but no copperplate tip is included unfortunately, although a standard tip for general handwriting is. Overall, for the price, this is not a bad set and is extremely useful for teaching young people and teenagers to write with a fountain pen and use general calligraphy. For people wanting to get deeply into various forms of calligraphy and handwriting I would suggest a dip pen set as they invariably have a much wider selection of tips. This is a fine starter set though.It is unfortunate in my opinion that fountain pens are not generally used these days, as they offer a much more attractive hand writing form than the common gel/biro style pens that litter every desk today.Delivery was very quick, and the product was nicely packaged against postal abuse.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intresting Pen
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 April 2013*

This pen arrived very quickly. And when I mean VERY I mean I ordered it on a Monday and it arrived on the Thursday. I also bought this pen with 30 ink cartridges which were sold separate. The pen has a nice look to and with various sizes is worth it. The pen has a nice hold and make feels sturdy. I am a student and found this really helped to make my various handwritten coursework look a hell of a a lot nicer. The ink does spread though on the page and creates a small lighting effect but does not blot easily.Overall a very nice pen with a very nice case and looks excellent
