 Smooth ink flow, cheap refills August 21, 2007
Jonathan Aquino (Victoria, BC Canada)

I quite like these italic pens:
- cheap refills
- smooth ink flow
- 3 different nib widths
- easily see ink remaining
- comfy, round grip (unlike the Lamy Safari)
I'm using it in conjunction with the book "The Italic Way to Beautiful Handwriting" by Fred Eager - a good match.
==========
Update 2007-08-26
I'd like to knock this down to 3 stars. The lines become inconsistent (i.e, rather thin) on certain pages of my Moleskine notebook. In contrast, my Lamy Safari pen is perfectly consistent.
So I'd get both - the Sheaffers with its variety of nibs, for calligraphy practice, and the more expensive Lamy Safari (1.1-mm nib) for writing for pleasure.
 Better than the pricey ones.... March 26, 2007

I am a serious penman, and do a great deal of calligraphy for weddings, special occasions, and other important events. I have a number of rather expensive calligraphy pens but none of them lend themselves to a rapid, smooth style. The problem is the ink flow. The little Sheaffer pens have a nice, steady and consistent ink flow and allow the calligrapher to produce nice flourishes and lettering without hesitation. If you "draw" your lettering, then the expensive pens are worth it. If you work for pay, then go with the Sheaffer...!!
Nice, Simple Set July 7, 2006

I got my set for $10 at Hobby Lobby if you're interested in this product. It was a great balance of what I wanted in a fountain pen - three different thicknesses (although I prefer the finest one) and four colors. It took me a minute to figure out the ink cartridges (one is not in the pen when you get it), but once assembled it writes smoothly and easily. I'm not a serious calligrapher or anything, I just wanted a nice pen for formal, personal letters and this product fits nicely for me.
