Reviews around color (4.02 of 5)

  • The set is great for a 12 year old beginner - pen barrels are nice colors and designs, and as I said, the pump works very well.
  • but if you've ever seen cheap jewelry made of base metal that is plated with a really fake looking gold color-- that's what these look like
  • Unfortunately, the color we needed the most leaked-crack in the ink well; Some other colors had the same problem; for the colors that worked, the product was adequate..
  • Love the selection of pen tips and all the different colors
  • got wrong colored cap for a pen and felt cheep not awful but would have preferred to invest in something nicer

Reviews around line (3.92 of 5)

  • Also three out of the ink cartridges where dry and one came completely exploded, staining the pen lining
  • Fine tip does not give crisp clear lines, I could get better from a fine tip sharpie
  • The nibs are thick and therefore make extra fine lines difficult
  • Although the letters were still readable, the thick lines were indistinguishable from the thin.
  • Even the finer pens leave big, thick messy lines

Reviews around beginner (3.92 of 5)

  • I haven't done calligraphy in 10 years and thought this would be a good beginner set but don't waste your money
  • This is definitely a beginner set and might disappoint those looking for a top-quality, professional set
  • I think if you are like me, a beginner who is looking to just explore the world of calligraphy, this set will do you some good.
  • , the ink bleeds through only a little, and that can be changed with the speed and pressure applied; i'm only a beginner, but as a 15 year old, even i figured out how to use it properly
