Classic Fountain Pens and Pump Pens and Basic Fountain Pens

Classic Pump Pens

Classic Fountain Pens

Basic Fountain Pens 1 item

Same basic features in all three collections with special features for each.

New product: Basic Fountain Pen

Similar to our Classic Fountain Pens, this model is simpler and cheaper - two pieces instead of three so no reservoir - fill and empty the pen from the front. Same nibs and feeds slip in and out. Large capacity, great for working in the field.

+What is an overfeed?

  • It's a device that enhances the performance of flexible nibs. It rests on top of the nib, and stores ink in the space over the nib. This continues to feed ink to the nib when the nib flexes backwards and rises off the underfeed. The tip of the overfeed slides into the gap between the two tynes as they separate and acts like a bridge to continue the steady flow of ink to the tip. 

+Can all nibs use an overfeed?

  • No, only medium to large pointed nibs. You can't use them with crowquills - that would require a very small overfeed. We provide overfeeds for our Manga G nibs, Brause Rose nibs, and our Sketch nibs.

+Can I remove the overfeed?

  • Yes, you can. You replace the overfeed with a spacer we provide with each overfeed pen. The spacer keeps the nib tucked in tightly. You can slide the overfeed back in when you want to use it. Overfeeds aren't suitable for close work with fine detail. They are best for drawings with wide line variation.

+What are Manga G nibs?

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

+What are Brause Rose nibs?

  • These are pointed nibs made by Brause, and are popular with a wide range of artists. The tip is very flexible, so it takes more practice to use this nib successfully. An overfeed works well with this nib to constrain the flex.

+What are Sketch nibs?

  • We make these flexible nibs, which are designed for quick and easy sketching. Our Sketch nibs skate over paper in all directions. This is difficult to do with Manga G nibs, where the point can snag on the paper. Sketch nibs work well with overfeeds to spread the ink, which lubricates the nib movement.

+What are adapters?

  • These fit into the front of our pens and let you draw and write with other tools, such as crowquills and Gillott 303 nibs, brushes and our quill nibs

+What does "washing" mean?

  • Washing a drawing means applying water or dilute ink solution to your drawn lines to create tonal values that enhance the appearance of your drawing.

+Add a bit of color

  • You can add a bit of color to your drawings. Fill the Brush Tool with watercolor or colored ink and brush it onto your drawings.

+Attaching the Brush Tool?

  • Fill the tool with water or dilute ink and press the tool onto the back of your Classic pen. Draw your lines using the nib, spin the pen in your hand, brush on water or ink, spin the pen again and resume drawing.
