    Fantastic pens,
    5 Stars
    Fantastic pens,
    I'm new to caligraphy. So new that until the pilot pens arrived I had never used a real caligraphy pen, nor had I attempted forming any caligraphy hands. I do write cursive, but real cursive is not the same thing as real caligraphy.A quick read through the instructions and I had the cartridge in and the ink flowing. They wright smooth and are easy to handle. I tried them out using the basic exemplar provided with the pens on printer paper (not suitable at all for it but my nice paper hadn't arrived yet) with no ruling lines and no more caligraphy instruction than reading though the first few chapters of a calligraphy book I got not but a couple of days before. I was impressed with how it turned out. It was definitely an "okay, I can actually learn this" confidence boost. As someone has no further ambitions than to do calligraphy as a fun hobby, I may actually struggle to branch out an experiment with other types of pens... maybe. I'll exclusively use these for a while at least. The pilot pens take out a lot of work that others seem to require so that you can just enjoy the caligraphy. Will probably buy the other two sizes they offer when I'm ready for them, and will probably just use the pre-made cartridges for a while since I am more concerned with formation and technique right now than I am with ink experimentation.
