I absolutely love these pens! I am a preschool teacher for 2 year old's and I use these pens on all our projects, fliers, potty charts and poster boards. I had a set that carried only 4 colors and I looked in every store I could think of in our area to replace them. No one carried them. I was thrilled to have found them on line and also that there were 8 colors instead of only 4. Everyone thinks that I have great handwriting, but the magic is in the pens, not me.

I bought these pens to address my wedding invitations. I loved the rainbow of colors and the dual ends/ size. Most calligraphy pens are 2.5 mm and the small end is 2.0 mm which is perfect for addressing invitations. The colors of the pens are very vibrant so I opted to use black and just hand outline the capital letters of the names with a metallic pen to make it stand out more. I'm sure they would be great to use for a project/ poster where you wanted the lettering to stand out well.

People always ask me to address their wedding invitations! Six years ago I purchased the small set because it had the red I needed to do some invitations. The color matched perfectly with the invite. I have used that set of pens for 6 years to do thank you cards (I am a teacher) and when I was asked to do invites, I used them again. They have been used frequently, and I think I only ran out of the black before reordering. There are two tips, a large and a small on each pen. They are easily managed whether you use them for calligraphy or just to write beautifully with pens that don't run or smudge. The large point is good for larger writing on poster boards or art projects. I just purchased the larger set because our 4 adult children have begun to get married and here I am doing invites again. They are wonderful and the colors are great!

I received the pens in a timely manner, but one of the 12 would not work. It had dried out.

Dual tip, one fine one thicker for Calligraphy. They write well for on the go and are disposable. Not quite as good as the single tip speedball but decent.

I usually could find this product in Mexico and in several paper stores in the USA. It is a nice surprise to find out that you have them.
I use them for all my personal notes and graphic work, not necessarily a Calligraphy work. I love them.

They help even my awful, ordinary handwriting to look more formal and neat in my scrapbooks!
