Frequently Asked Questions Calligraphy Pens
1. What are the different types of calligraphy pens?
Calligraphy pens include dip pens, fountain pens, brush pens, and felt-tip pens—each suited for different styles, skill levels, and line variation.
2. What’s the difference between straight and oblique calligraphy pens?
Straight holders align the nib for upright writing; oblique holders angle the nib to make slanted scripts like Copperplate easier to write.
3. Can left-handed people use calligraphy pens?
Yes, left-handed users can write calligraphy effectively using straight holders or special oblique pens designed for left-handers.
4. What ink should I use with calligraphy pens?
Use fountain pen ink for fountain-style pens and pigmented or specialty inks for dip pens to ensure proper flow and avoid clogs.
5. How do I clean and maintain calligraphy pens?
Clean dip nibs with water after each use and flush fountain pens regularly to prevent ink buildup and ensure smooth writing.
6. What kind of paper is best for calligraphy?
Use smooth, high-quality, bleed-resistant paper such as Rhodia or Tomoe River to get crisp lines and preserve your nibs.
