Glenn's Pick Namiki Falcon Fountain
Pen
Soar to new
heights
with the Namiki Falcon. Sleek in its unique style, this jet black fountain
pen is a remarkable feat of engineering and elegance. The Namiki Falcon’s
most extraordinary feature is its flexible, hooded 14K gold nib that gently
yields to the user’s angle.
Modest pressure on the tines makes a bolder line than when a light touch is used
and a thick/thin effect comes from the tip itself.
We know of no contemporary pen with a more flexible nib.
The size of this pen would be considered
standard, at 5 3/8" long, capped. The diameter of the grip is comfortable
for almost all hands.
All of the Namiki pens come with a converter
(for bottle filling) and a blue ink cartridge in a small leather box. This is the
only cartridge/converter system, other than Sailor, that offers adequate ink
flow for broader or faster writing. See the
fountain pen guide for more information.

Fountain
Pen Refill Ink
Fountain Pen ink is composed of water, dye and surfactant, a detergent based
agent used to help control flow in your pen. NOTE: Drawing and drafting inks
contain shellac which can be harmful to your fountain pens. There are also
several inks out on the market marked Calligraphy Ink and further marked for use
in fountain pens. We suggest you check these carefully, we've found most of the
Calligraphy Inks to contain shellac and unsafe for fountain pens. Never use any
ink other than those made specifically for fountain pens in your pen.
Use bottled ink with the converter (included with pen)
Namiki
Bottled Ink - Black - 60ml
Price: $10.00
Namiki Cartridges -
Black - 12 Cartridges
Namiki makes pens that will ONLY take their cartridges, no
others will fit, they are proprietary cartridges. Once in awhile, people
get in a pinch and try to SHOVE a different cartridge into one of these
pens. It might work, but be forewarned, you're just asking for a leaky
cartridge, or even possible damage to your pen.
Price: $4.20
Pelikan 4001 Bottled Ink - Brilliant Brown - 62.5ml
"Brilliant Brown - This brown is an all around favorite, lots
of coppery highlights, not like any other brown made today.";
Price: $7.50

Pen & Ink Sketching Fountain Pens
This Fountain Pen was designed for sketching!
They are not flexible like the Falcon, but they are very good, and they are a
whole lot less costly! The iridium nib provides a smooth, enduring stroke.
Stainless nibs in most fountain pens can feel scratchy, and since most are
designed for writing, they don't usually allow the ink to flow enough for line
work. Comes in three sizes (Extra-Fine, Fine and Broad). Glenn's
preference is the Extra Fine, but at this price you may want all three!
Remember, since it is not flexible like the Falcon, you will not be able to get
a variety of line weights with just one pen. Includes a suede pen
wrap, an ink converter and 3 cartridges. We do not carry replacement
cartridges at this time, but we recommend you use the bottled ink above to refill using the
converter anyhow.
(Although we are only keeping the Extra Fine in
stock right now, we can order in the Fine or the Broad sizes if you prefer; they
are the same price as the Extra Fine)
Extra-Fine Pen Price: $20.95

pans: Permanent Red Light, Madder Lake Deep, Permanent Lemon Yellow, Azo Yellow
Medium, Yellow Ochre, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Deep, Permanent Green, Viridian,
Payne's Gray, Burnt Sienna, and Chinese White. Also includes a Size 4, pointed

in your Rollabind sketchbook.
There are some differences between this set and the
Windsor & Newton, which is made of pigments that professional artists prefer to
work with. We strongly recommend that you learn with the Windsor & Newton
if your budget allows, however you can always start with this set and by the
time you need to replace the half pans, you'll know if upgrading to the higher
quality is right for you.
