ProFolio by Itoya, Double Header Calligraphy Marker, 1.5mm and 3mm Chisel Tips - Black

This is second one I’ve purchased; 1st was perfect and lasted well past a year (possibly two). This one came with one cap barely on. Seriously considered returning it since some drying had to have taken place, but it still writes well and took a lot longer to get here than it ever should have (got it specifically for sending out Christmas cards, w/plenty of time to spare and got here far too late to even send locally; I’d already sent all of them out a full week before this ever arrived!). So, didn’t bother to return and get a replacement- knocked a star for loose cap and super slow shipping

This pen has tips at either end. Each is flat, somewhat chiseled point that can be used for a broad line when the wide side is pulled across the writing surface or a narrow line when rotated at an angle. The tips, or nibs in calligraphy pen terms, are felt. One is 3.0mm wide and the other is 1.5mm wide. The width of the thinnest line depends on the angle of the pen and amount of pressure on the paper.The tips have been holding up well for me, but I tend to have a rather light touch on the paper. That creates a challenge to get a consistent line with these pens. I enjoy the portability of a felt-tip. I use it for casual practice and sketching. The ink isn't as dark as I would like, resulting in darker places when lines overlap. Places where I've gone back over edges show up as obvious corrections. The edges aren't quite as sharp as dip pens or parallel pens.When writing with the wider tip, the pocket clip fits between my thumb and forefinger and isn't much of a problem. It is a little awkward on the supporting finger is the clip positioned on the underside. The pen is a hard plastic a matte type finish that is easy to hold with a rather thick barrel.It took a bit of practice to find a way to hold it to make it work for calligraphic lettering.Overall, it's an okay marker/pen. Not great. Not bad. The biggest plus is the convenience of a pen that is already inked and doesn't require clean up after use.

Thought I'd practice my penmanship as it seems to have gotten sloppy over the years. While taking up hand lettering as a new hobby, I found I still love and prefer calligraphy as I did in college. These calligraphy markers have the chisel tip (both ends) which I love and I feel work best for calligrsphy rather than hand letteting brush pens. Worth the money and now my favorite pen, I ordered 2 more after my initial order of 3. Love love, love these pens and I can't stop doodling!

They’re decent, especially for beginners/practice. The ink is nice and dark, but the nibs tend to fray a little, so it can be hard to get really crisp edges.

This is perfect for my need which is to make labels. The two tip sizes are very helpful to get the right size of printing. The ink flows smoothly, never smears and is even dishwasher proof. I will make note to myself of the brand so I can get more of them when my current pens begin to run low on ink. I really recommend them!

I like it. Wish it didn’t have the clip as on one side it’s hard to hold easily but like the versatility of the two nibs. More color choices would be good too.

There was one Major problem with this pen: the caps on both ends fit terribly. So if you’re like me and keep a pen you like in your pocket all day you’ll ruin jeans and kill the pen. If only the caps would’ve stayed on! I even taped them and still managed to lose one that recently showed up in my pants pocket.

Good value, shipped quickly and arrived on time. Arrived missing the lid on one of the tips. My only complaint is that this isn't a true marker. The ink that comes from it is very watery and has a pretty significant bleed. I would call this a felt tip pen as the ink is more like a pen than a marker. Writes well on heavy weight paper. Bled through thinner paper. Wouldn't write AT ALL on paper with a sheen, the ink actually pooled and wiped off 90 percent over 24 hours later. I bought it to address envelopes and its completely useless for the task.
