TACHIKAWA Linemarker Fountain Pen (LM-03BK) - Black Ink - 0.1mm

A low cost, refillable fountain pen, from Japanese dip nib maker, Tachikawa. A way to move beyond the felt tip of a fineliner to the smooth feeling of metal tip as you draw.

Simple plastic body fountain pen, fitted with a small stainless steel nib, designed for manga and other illustrative art. Nibs are available in 0.1 (XXF), 0.3 (Fine) and 0.5mm (Medium), and feel firmer and finer than most other fountain pens. The nib is fitted into a grip section that screws into the barrel. Ribbing on the section provides some texture to improve grip. A snap cap allows you to open the pen one handed.

Supplied with a single proprietary cartridge of water resistant, fade proof, black ink. There is an ink window in the barrel to help you monitor level of remaining ink. Replacement cartridges are available separately, but you could also refill an empty cartridge with a blunt syringe. The cartridge includes a ball bearing to agitate the ink, which is useful when the ink contains pigment particles. Ink is supplied to the nib via an absorbent wick-like feed.

Combine with a pocket sketchbook, for a highly portable set up that will really accelerate your drawing practice.

Made in Japan.
