User questions & answers

Question:

the cartidges don't stay attached to the nib. Any solutions

Answer:

No experience with mod podge, but i know it will work very well to clean acrylic based paints out of brushes, as it’s what I use to clean my miniatures brushes and all of my paints in that kit are acrylic based. Some pigment is left in my cheaper synthetic white brushes, but never in my nicer sable brushes. That may be more on me not cleaning them hard enough or in a timely manner and not the soap however.

User questions & answers

Question:	What convertor fits with this
Answer:	Mine bottle has a black label and it reads the same. Mine is the 16 oz. and it work perfectly... I am going to say they are the same. I hope this helped....
Question:	Is ink permanent or water soluble
Answer:	I think it would be overkill to use this for cleaning watercolor brushes. Probably best to clean watercolor brushes with soap and water. Fels-Naptha, an oil based laundry bar soap, works really well for cleaning watercolor or oil based paints. The Winsor and Newton brush cleaner is useful for cleaning brushes that have dried oil paint in the brushes. This and other solvent based brush cleaners are hard on the bristles and shorten their life. I clean my oil brushes with Fels-Naptha after I finish painting for the day.
Question:	Does this pen use india ink or fountain pen ink? Im asking since speedball makes india ink and im unaware of them making any fountain pen ink
Answer:	Yes. I find that I can use it to clean all my brushes no matter what medium I use.
Question:	can i order white ink for this pen
Answer:	I used this product on brushes that were hardened by water-based acrylic paint; brushes that I forgot and had water-based glue on them..This product has been so effective, that I am into my second bottle.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use these nibs in a normal fountain pen
Answer:	The lid does not fit tightly. It would fall off if turned upside down, and is not watertight. It does sit nicely on the top and keeps dust out of water.
Question:	Can these nibs be put on other pens, for example the pilot parallel pen
Answer:	I don't think they are made in the USA... ✪ I found the following information on their website: ➡ ' U.S. Art Supply * imports low cost/high quality artist materials from overseas and brings these product to our customers in the United States.' U.S. Art Supply is one of the many brands owned by TCP Global Corporation. This expertise in importing of goods provides its U.S. based customers with a wide variety of artist supplies at great prices. Hope this helps, Peace
Question:	Is there a trick to dipping this pen in ink? I use speedball india ink and the first two letters are huge blobs, and have to refill already
Answer:	This soap is 82% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with the rest being made up of Coconut Oil, Water, and Vitamin E. There are no other additives.
Question:	does it come with ink
Answer:	I can't see why not. It works Amazon on oil paint brushes so I cant see it not working on chalk paint.

A Century of Fine Pen Making

Speedball's proud heritage for pen-making began in 1899, when the C. Howard Hunt Pen Company began manufacturing and distributing steel pens. Nearly two decades later, in 1913, Hunt sought to improve upon the functionality of the lettering tools of the day and joined forces with master letterers Ross F. George and William H. Gordon in 1913 to contrive and perfect a nib with a reservoir. It was nicknamed “Speedball” because of the efficiency of the pen, which cut working time in half.

Since that time, the Speedball name has become synonymous with high-quality pen nibs. In addition, Speedball now proudly manufactures a suite of complementary products. From pen holders to dip inks & cleaners to calligraphy markers and fountain pens, Speedball offers the broadest range of supplies designed specifically for your drawing & lettering works.

A-Series

Patented in 1913 and introduced two years later, the A-Series nib is where it all started for Speedball. Its unique multi-purpose design allows artists to create a variety of strokes with just a flip of the pen. The A-Series is ideal for any Gothic or Monoline lettering style that has lines of uniform width with a squared finish.

B-Series

The B-Series nib made its debut in the 2nd edition of The Speedball Textbook in 1916. Like the A-Series, the B-Series has a bent end to form a “shoe” that can easily produce a uniform width line. Unlike its counterpart, the Speedball B-Series nib has a rounded finish that makes it ideal for creating sans serif letters without thick and thin lines.The B-Series is perfect for creating a variety of monoline lettering, drawn letters (e.g. Versals) and “built-up” letters, such as the Double Stroke Poster Roman.

C-Series

The third addition to the Speedball series of pen nibs, the C-Series, was introduced in 1918 in the 4th This series features a traditional broad edge nib with a great degree of flexibility. Our most popular of the three broad edge offerings, the C-Series nib is meant to be held at a constant angle throughout the creation of any traditional calligraphic alphabet (with minor variations needed, depending upon the lettering style). This consistent angle gives the lettering artist the desired thick and thin strokes usually associated with broad edge calligraphy, such as Roman, Carolingian, Uncial, Italic, Gothicized Italic, Blackletter or Neuland.edition of The Speedball Textbook.

Pointed Pens

Flexible Pen Points are offered in a range of widths and varying degrees of stiffness to provide artists with the maximum amount of control. Speedball's Pointed and Crow Quill nibs are ideal for drawing, sketching, lettering and cross-hatching.

Sets to Suit All Your Drawing & Lettering Needs

Offering the ideal pairings of nibs and holders that are specifically catered to suit a range of drawing or lettering projects, Speedball Pen Sets provide a convenient and value-priced means to stock (or re-stock!) your artist toolbox.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you use them for calligraphy or lettering
Answer:	No, this is not emulsion remover.
Question:	Can you tell me how they are for flexing and line variation? Even if I have to keep a bottle of ink handy, I wanna try them for urban sketching
Answer:	This product was specifically designed to remove screen filler screen printing frames. We have not tested if for removal of oil based inks and cannot speak to its success or failure for this application.
Question:	are there flexible nibs in this set
Answer:	I would not advise using any solvents in this plastic container. Solvents like turpentine and mineral spirits belong in metal or glass containers.
Question:	Which pens fit which holder
Answer:	About 5" by 5" and 4" deep.
