BRUSH PENS
Need bottled ink
or refills?
Here's an interesting article and video, entitled 'How Hong Kong's big art families are redefining Chinese ink painting ... with fountain pens'
Single Tip Soft Brush Pen
$5.00 Made in China by Jajayo, this plastic-bodied, disposable brush pen has a fairly soft (according to my wife Lai Yee) faux brush tip. As can be seen in the video, she recommends this one for someone that already has a bit of experience using a brush pen -- or traditional Chinese brush. As she translated from the packaging: ● Black ink, nylon tip, won't split on the tip ● Plastic body, black water-based ink ● Can be used in writing, painting, drawing and graphic design ● If you wet the brush tip on paper before using, it appears in different shades of black ● It lasts 4,000 characters (8 mm size) ● Always close the cap when not in use ● If the ink flow is slow, put the cap on and hold it up with the tip down, for two minutes ● If the tip is cracked due to dryness, rinse it with water and pat dry. Hang it up with tip down and capped
Double Tip Medium-Firm Brush Pen
$5.50 This one is made in Japan by VSP. Again, a plastic-bodied disposable brush pen with black ink. Lai Yee notes that the broader tip is of medium firmness (not as soft as the Chinese pen above) and is perfect for a beginner. The finer tip is a bit harder and useful for smaller details or for writing characters in a letter. She also mentions that either of these pens should be kept out of direct sunlight and always capped when not in use. As she doesn't read Japanese, there's no translation of the
packaging.

Warranties and returns If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment. Should you wish to return a non-defective
item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again
please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any
shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition.
If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean
off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise
We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
