Manga G Zebra Fountain Pen with Overfeed

Fountain Pens and Pump Pens

Same pen except one has a pump and the other doesn't. Gravity flow works all the time, but when you want something stronger, press the pump. You get what you press - from a drop to a gush. Great for drawing in large format, inking in backgrounds, and working with crowquill nibs, which have a constrained flow.

Here are some examples

. . . of work done with our pens. You can see more when you visit our art gallery.

Overfeeds are back

They work with our five largest nibs - the three Manga G nibs made by Zebra, Nikko and Tachikawa - as well as the Brause Rose, and our Sketch nibs.

+What is an overfeed?

It's a device that rests on top of the nib and enhances the performance of flexible nibs. It continues to feed ink to the nib when it flexes backwards and off the underfeed. It also slides into the gap between the two sides of then ib and acts like a bridge to continue the steady flow of ink to each side.

+Are they permanent?

No. You can slip them in and out depending on whether you want to use the overfeed. Overfeeds aren't suitable for close work with fine detail. They are best for broad strokes and drawings with wide line variations.

+What's a Sketch nib?

These are our own flexible nibs designed for quick and easy sketching. They are more durable than Manga G nibs, and they skate over the paper unlike other pointed nibs, which can snag. You can move move our Sketch nibs in any direction easily.

+What are Manga G nibs?

Manga G nibs are relatively new and have become popular with a wide range of artists, from calligraphers to comic book artists. The three most popular are made by Zebra, Nikko and Tachikawa. They are well made nibs that provide great flex and last longer than most dip nibs.
