Manga G Tachikawa Classic Pump Pen
Draw, letter and write with a Manga G Tachikawa nib fitted to our Classic Pump Pen. You no longer need to dip the nib - our pens feeds any ink or paint smoothly to the nib with a flow that adjusts to your use. If you want a stronger flow, press the pump - you get what you press, from a drop to a gush. Manga G nib is enjoyed by lots of artists because of its fine line, great flex for wide line variation, and durability. The three most popular Manga G nibs are made by Zebra, Nikko and Tachikawa. Each type of Manga G nib has its fans. Find out if the Tachikawa Manga G nib is your favorite.
You have four choices of feed for this pen:
- Standard feeds
- F3 standard flow for fountain pen inks
- F4 thick flow for India ink and most paints
- Squeeze feeds
- F3 standard flow for fountain pen inks
- F4 thick flow for India ink and most paints
The standard feed F3 is shipped with each pen unless you select another feed.
Fountain pen inks include most pigment inks or inks that are colored with very small ("nano") particles. These inks were popular when we first started building our pens, so we focused on India ink, which was the gold standard for artists "in the day".
About feeds
We provide two types of feeds: standard feeds and squeeze feeds.
Standard feeds are traditional feeds shaped like a rod where the ink channel runs along the top of the feed. You can slip nibs in and out of the pen easily using this feed, but there is a slight chance that ink will leak from the feed because press-fit parts don't always seat properly.
Squeeze feeds (Pat Pend) do a little more work. They grip the nib firmly from two sides, feed ink to the nib in a measured amount, hold the nib firmly inside the pen, and prevent leakage. See Squeeze Feeds for Manga G nibs for more details.
Squeeze feeds cost a little more because they do more. Standard feeds work fine in most situations. Most fountain pens seal the feed and nib together in a collar called a section. This encourages better ink flow, but the tight seal prevents you from switching nibs and feeds easily. We prefer to let you switch nibs and feeds when you want to.

Most of our orders ship from the NE coast of the US, which puts us a day away from half the population in the US. That location also speeds up shipping to Europe. Orders in Asia are going to take a little more time.
We offer a free 14 day money back return policy on all orders no questions asked. The customer pays the cost for return shipping. You can cancel an order if we haven't yet shipped the order.
