Kuretake Karappo Pen, Fine tip 5pcs Set, Empty refillable Ink Pen, for Lettering, Calligraphy, Illustration, Drawing, Made in Japan

Discovered this handy pen a while back, when I found myself with a large grip of ink, and needing something to hold it (different than a paint brush or a dip pen holder). The clear body with accompanying wicks enable me to see the inks that I want to work with. It's fun putting the wick in ink, watching it slurp up the liquid as it climbs the inky reservoir. The only draw back I see is when the ink runs out and you want to refill it. I'd rather keep refilling a pen of any kind, rather than discarding it after it has been used. A pair of pliers helps. Enjoy!

You can make your own pens markers. I first ordered the fine tip pens. Used lamy and another brand of ink in them (fountain pen inks). Started right up and worked perfectly!!!! I'll be buying other tips and the brush version!!!

These are great little pens for the price. I’ve used them various inks and my own homemade acrylic inks with no mess or fuss! Great quality! I will be buying again when I need some more.

These soak up India ink fast. The tip is fine. I only wish they were reusable. Nice pens!

I made my own markers with liquid ink. These were not messy to fill. I love the fine point. I mixed custom colors. I think it is a much more efficient use of my ink than a brush.

Filled these with some fountain pen inks I’ve been too lazy to use for a while. Super easy and nice, smooth writing. I see myself buying more in the future.

The fine tip style works with very thin and watery acrylic inks such as the Holbein Acrylic Ink or Liquitex Ink! products; the line comes out a little dry but doesn't skip, even during quick writing. However, it may end up clogging or become unusable over time. But at least initially there's no issues.

Easy to use, can be reopened and refilled with the same colors. Handy dot stickers included to display true colour on the end of the market. Fine tip, pastel inks were too light the first attempt. Could be used to reduce waste by refilling with permanent ink. All plastic, but reusable; advertised as such. Firm fine point felt nib does not squash down from heavy handed writing.
