Beautiful Writing Made Easy – Archival Quality The Sakura Pigma Calligraphy Set is the ideal choice for anyone looking to create beautiful lettering with ease and precision. This set includes three chisel-tipped pens in varying widths (1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm), specifically designed for Western calligraphy and lettering arts. Sakura Pigma – The Original Innovation Sakura of Japan revolutionized the industry in the 1980s by inventing Pigma ink, the world's first pigment-based ink for pens. Unlike traditional dye-based inks, Pigma ink does not fade and resists bleeding through paper. It sits on top of the paper surface, resulting in crisp edges and intense black colour. Features: Ink: Archival quality, acid-free, lightfast, and waterproof once dry.Nibs: Durable nylon nibs retain their shape and provide a consistent ink flow without the need for dipping or pumping.Sizes: 1 mm (for fine details), 2 mm (for general lettering), and 3 mm (for headers and bold strokes). Calligraphy Tips for These Pens: Consistent Angle: Hold the pen so the flat nib is at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal line of the paper. Maintain this angle consistently as you write. The pen will naturally create the thick and thin strokes characteristic of calligraphy without added pressure.Light Touch: Pigma pens are designed to flow smoothly. Avoid pressing down hard on the nib; a light touch allows the ink to flow better and prolongs the life of the pen.Mixed Media: Since the ink is waterproof when dry, these pens are excellent for outlining in watercolor projects. You can paint washes over your lettering without fear of the black ink smudging or bleeding.
