– 42 Piece Fountain Pen Set, 6 Different Size Nibs and 36 Colored Ink Cartridges Kit, Perfect Calligraphy Lettering Set for Beginners, Christmas and Birthday

I have had no issues using these pens. I got them for their transparency to distinguish the different coloured inks in each pen. Colour coordinating pen with ink. The cartridges are nice colours, fit nicely, are easy enough to click into the pen and the ink flows well. I have bought converters to load my own inks and these work well with these pens. The pens all write well with no skipping of ink and it is nice to have the variation of nibs for different writing. My only gripe is I had a black pen instead of the tinted gold coloured transparent one, which was a disappointment as I really wanted this pen in particular as shown in the main photo, as I wanted ALL the pens to be transparent. All in all a nice set of pens and cartridges for the price. Although plastic, they seem durable and I hope will last a long time.

I still use an old fashioned fountain pen and this works well'

No need to add a photo, the product photo gives a good enough idea. Decent value as you get 6 pens. 4 of which are shaped very much like the Lamy design (although not exactly. Interestingly the Lamy top part screws onto the nibs of these but the Lamy nib doesn’t screw to the top part of these). Though of course, they are not the same standard material wise. They're fine to write with, but feel plastically in terms of material and like they feel they could break/crack if they fall from a height or pressure is put on them or something. Though that’s not to say they’re overly brittle. I prefer the clear one, blue one in the Lamy design. Am not overly keen on the orange or lime green colours aesthetically. The 4 Lamy like pen nibs (which are interchangeable with a coloured top and clear bottom) have 1.9, 1.5, 1.1 & 0.7 engraved on them. Currently using 0.7 and it writes very smoothly. The 2 thinner pens which have interchangeable nibs between them have EF and Iridium Point 1 (I think) engraved on them. One is clear/perspex the other is black perspex but they have a gold clip and rim which looks a bit tacky. They also have a very small rim part that comes off when you take the nib off. A tiny gold ring like thing that is sure to go missing at some stage. There are 3 x 12 packs of cartridges (5cm long) consisting of a rainbow of colours ranging from the sensible blue, black, red options to the insane pink, orange, etc Overall, a cheap and cheerful value for money purchase (based on a Lamy costing £15 for just one pen and one cartridge in comparison). It also offers you a way of trying out different nib sizes perhaps. As a 11 year old' I'd be very happy if I was into writing as I was (don't know if that's still the case with kids now with texting, etc), Though they are definitely fragile, small pieces unsuitable for youngest of kids. My 12 year old self would probably break a few, lose a piece on the smaller pens and be upset by the loss of a complete set. My adult self will possibly do the same, but will have other things to be bothered with to distract me from being so upset about these pens. Delivered next day as promised. Ok, so a photo might help. Let's see what I can do...... If you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll enjoy these!

Terrific. If you are learning/practicing your calligraphy then a cartridge system is what you need, no dipping in pots of ink and all that.

Not particularly good or bad, the cartridges are not that easy to put in and whilst signing a Birthday card a very large blob of ink ruined it. On the whole for the money it is reasonable value as there are lots of colours.

Great for someone who loves writing, as a gift or for yourself. The different nib widths are a super idea, this is what makes this set a real bargain. The pens are good quality for the price, and come in a couple of different styles.

Nit tried to write with them yet but so far so good. The materials feel better than what i was expecting

Given to 8-yr-old grandson but he and his 5-yr-old sister spent a surprising amount of time using them. The widest nib is pretty good for calligraphy, but they enjoyed just writing and drawing with the different colours. I think it’s a good way of getting kids to practise writing, especially if you give them some well-formed letters to copy as calligraphy. Drawback; some were difficult to load with the ink cartridges and there’s a risk of spillage. Needs supervision.
