Calligraphy Pen Set

Everything you need to start calligraphy

Calligraphy is easier to enjoy when you don’t have to piece together your kit. This 16-piece Royal & Langnickel set gives you the pens, the nibs, the ink, and a case to keep it all together. Open the box, load a cartridge, and start writing.

The set includes ink cartridges for quick, mess-free use, and a piston filler, so you can also fill a pen from a bottle of ink when you want to try a different colour. Two nibs let you try different line widths, so you can practise both fine and bold strokes.

Getting started

1. Insert an ink cartridge into the pen by pressing it firmly onto the nipple until it pierces.
2. Hold the pen at a slight angle to the paper, and write with light pressure.
3. Start with simple strokes, such as straight lines, curves, and loops, to build control.
4. Use smooth paper so the nib glides easily and the ink doesn’t feather.
5. To use bottled ink, fill the piston filler and transfer ink into an empty cartridge or use it as your cartridge.
6. To change a nib, pull out the old nib gently and push the new one in place.
7. Keep a few spare cartridges handy so you don’t run dry mid-project.

Care tips

• Replace the cap after use to keep the nib from drying out.
• Rinse the nib in clean water when you change colours or finish a session, and dry it gently.
• Store the pens flat in the case, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Remove the cartridge if you won’t use the pen for a long time.

• The ink in the cartridges is made for the pens in this set. Don’t use waterproof or pigment inks in the pens unless the packaging says it’s safe.
• Smooth, good-quality paper gives the best results. Thin or rough paper can make the ink bleed.
• Keep out of reach of young children.
