This helped me out big time. I just got my kit yesterday and I got the pen with the ink that you put inside of it and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Now I realize that I wasn't hold it right.

Can you please suggest me the gsm quality of the paper for dip pen calligraphy??

@ShieLovesCursive 3 жыл бұрын

I'm using Rhodia 80gsm and it works perfect. Some say 100gsm is good, too.

be sure to have your nibs clear of any start oils. Use a lighter,windex, hot water or stick it in a potato for 10-15min. If you aren't angled and postured well when writing then that too is a possible factor. Be sure that when you write that your elbow is straight and not bending. Extreme note! Be relaxed! Don't tense when writing and give your hand the practice it needs to get the hang of writing lightly! Hope this helped.

Don't touch a nib with your fingers, you can put grease on it which can affect ink flow. (oooh, I have oils on the tip... lol). New nibs often need prepped with a flame, acetone or toothpaste to get rid of the manufacturing residue. I would also suggest this nib is a bit too far out for most beginners, best to have the tip of the tines level with the midline of the holder. Also consider Rhodia paper for practice.

Can we use smooth printer paper if we don't have access to rhodia paper?

@murrayelliot 3 жыл бұрын

@@srijyotimahapatra6134 yes, the higher quality the better. The problem with low quality paper is catching on the nib and bleeding. You may have to try different brands, but one I've seen mentioned on forums is HP premium choice laserjet paper, but I have no personal experience of this.
