rOtring Fountain Pen, ArtPen, Sketch, Extra-Fine Nib for Lettering Drawing and Writing

This is my favorite sketch pen. Hold on to the cartridge; you can refill it with bottled ink and one of those needle/syringe things. Rotring and Doodlers ink both work with the nib.

I am having Extra-fine nib fountain pen for almost two months. I bought it for writing and it was very smooth and sharp. Around the second week of using this pen I dropped it from height of 3 feet and it landed with its tip on solid ground. I panicked that I broke my new pen. However, after pushing the pen tip on paper for couple of seconds it started to function normally again. It has a very high quality tip. Now it writes more like medium nib lettering pen than extra-fine one but I think it is acceptable considering the hit it took. The pen is noticeably light, plastic material does not feel like something super-fancy, but from usage point of view it is very good. I am not a calligrapher or professional drawer, but I think they will find this pen "fine nib" not "extra-nib". All in all, I am really happy with my purchase and I am looking forward to buy more rOtring products.

it is light weighted, and smooth to write. I bought extra fine nib. it comes with two black ink cartridges. it was impressive first to see how it can move smoothly on the paper. however, soon I found some bad points; it seems the line is getting thicker. (I don't think this is extra fine...it is between med and fine) also, it was hard to find its converter. I had to go to Rotring's website to buy it...and the shipping cost was flat $8.00 Overall, it is worthy of trying.

I bought one with the extra fine nib and it works great! Every bit the equal of my Lamy Joy—a similar pen. I think there’s always a bit of luck involved with buying a fountain pen online since you can’t try the nib. The one I received flows nicely. I loaded it with Platinum Carbon ink just because it had a good, wet flow and it works as well as my Platinum Carbon Desk (fountain) Pen. No problems with clogging even though this is a (finely ground) pigmented ink. The results may be entirely different with a different nib/feed. I don’t post the cap on these style of pens so that fit isn’t an issue for me.

Best artpen i ever used, at first inking was not good, but then it was perfect, maybe was dust. Be warned, line aint thin, i would say its a 0.5 mm, so lines are bold for really small sktechbboks, but solid pen for sketvhing, i bought two of then, took the risk and it was worth it.

I have been using this pen for 30 years. It is smooth, well balanced, and never leaks. Every artist should own one. I also use it to write letters and cards. It is the best art pen ever.

It feels nice in hand. I have other general purpose pens, but the shape of this pen is more for the artists (long and tapered). However, the cap does not fit at the back, so you have to hold it in your other hand or keep in somewhere on the desk. Though it's extra-fine, it's more like normal fine (to me). I have other normal fountain pens that are finer. However, I can always roll over and use the other side of the nib and get really fine lines. So overall, it's good because with the same nib I can get really fine, and not so fine lines. I got two cartridges with it, which I usually refill with my favourite black ink using a normal injection (medical) syringe.

I'm somewhat new to pens so my only complaint is due to my lack of research. This pen is VERY long, due to being an art pen. Heads up newbies. Clip is excellent and strong. Flow is consistent and ink is excellent. Love it. May try and cut it down. Anyway, good pen.

このペンのロゴがデザイン・ペンからのユーザーです。 デザイン・ペンの書き心地、描き心地がよく、インクの降りは物凄く良く、 速攻で描く３〜５分クロッキーなどでも、全くインクのかすれなど見せません。 ただ、黒いインクだとクッキリと平坦な画面に見えるので、筆跡の強弱を 判りやすくするために、別売りのセピア色のインクなども使用して描いて みたりすると、それもなかなか効果的でした。 デザインペンＥＦを使用しているうちに、アートペンもリリースされたので アートペンＥＦとＦの２本を追加し、合計３本を所有しています。どれも、 １０年以上使用してきて、数ヶ月放置してインクが固まったり、出にくく なっても、洗面所のお湯程度の流水などで洗浄して汚れやインクの滓を落と せば再度、使用できますのでずぼらな自分でも助かっています。 ７〜８年前くらいからインクや本体製品を見かけなくなり、文房具屋、画材店 などを巡って探してみてもインクすら見つからず慌てました。そして、その 当時Amazonで検索しても該当商品はなく、途方にくれて、某文房具店でインク のみ取り寄せ購入した覚えがあります。 昨年、ふと思いつき、あちこちの通販サイトをみると、アートペンが扱われて いて驚き、もしや・・・と思いAmazonで探してみるとありました（笑）。 嬉しくなって１２月に１本購入し、２月になって安くなっているのを見つけて もう１本購入しました。 最初の１本、デザインペンもペン先がややへたって、線が太めになってはい ますが、角度をつけて描けばまだ細い線は描けます。本体は傷だらけでも、 ２６〜２７年経過した今も現役で使えるタフさ。今回購入したアートペン も２０年以上は付き合ってもらうつもりです（笑）。

This is easily the best fountain pen I have tried so far. A smooth and constant inkflow, and very well balanced barrel make both writing and drawing a joy. The package contains 4 black cartridges, a small leaflet, a refiller cartridge, and the pen itself in a metal case debossed with the rotring logo (which makes a handy pencil case). The only downside I have found so far, is that the nib isn't as fine as you may expect - tested against Rotring fineliners, the line width is somewhere in the range of .25-.3. Despite this, I would recommend the pen without hesitation.
