- Slip the nib in and out easily
- Exchange the feed to change the flow rate
- Use other large nibs including the Zebra Manga G and Brause Rose nib - see list below
- Large capacity cartridge - draw all day and don't worry about running out

With or without overfeed?
The overfeed is an optional device designed to extend the width and range of lines you can draw with a flexible nib. It rests above the nib, stores more ink between the nib and overfeed, controls the spread of the two tynes, and lets you draw wider lines for a longer time. Read more about our overfeeds.
Also read about how to use our overfeeds.
The version without the overfeed is shipped unless you select the version with an overfeed.
You can order this pen with or without an overfeed.
About the reservoir
You can double the volume of ink or paint stored in the pen by removing the reservoir and filling the body. The reservoir provides a double wall of protection, which might be what you want, but you can carry more volume without the reservoir.
Polishing Sketch nibs
Sketch nibs are similar to traditional fountain pens and last much longer than dip nibs. Paper is rough, so your Sketch nibs will need polishing from time to time on the underside of the tip.
You can use lapping paper to smooth your Sketch nibs, or you can use a piece of paper from a brown bag. Tear off a section measuring two or three inches to a side, wet the paper, and draw lazy circles and figures eights, then test the nib on your favorite drawing paper. Usually a few seconds of polishing is sufficient. Avoid over polishing.
You can also reshape the tip with more vigorous polishing if you want a special effect, such as left oblique or stub.
