Tachikawa C Nibs

Superb for controlled ink flow -- the nib doesn't flood the paper after dipping and maintains an even flow for many words. Really remarkable. The nibs are stiff, a quality I personally like. Even the 1 mm nib gives a nice variation in width as it curves around, even with heavy acrylic inks. The only weakness I find is that you have to work to clean them, especially if you are using waterproof inks.

These stiff, sleek nibs are strong enough for my heavy hand. They are not suitable for slick papers, but work beautifully on a paper with some teeth.
