Are these the same ones as those recommended and sold by the Zentangle inventors? If so, what is the brush for? The ink dries too quickly to brush.

That's why you do two Coates of brush ink to make it pure black. While I used this brush it had a slight transparency as if the black was washed out a bit. But once you let it dry and over coat it, it's pure black appearance is great. It's fluent and it is a brush like pen it creates even strokes,depends if you do art or calligraphy like writing.

I buy my ink from Zeller Writing Co, and use Herbin Lierre Sauvage, and Herbin Eclat de Saphir. http://www.zellerwritingcompany.com/j_herbin_bottled_ink_s/1829.htmThis particular pen looks nice but it does not write as smoothly as another pen I have - nib design is different and the ink flow on this one is not as good. The ink itself is fine and good quality.

I write comments on student papers. These are heavy inked, so if you have a small script, then these might be too muddled. I have to force myself to write in large script when I use them. Instead of these I'd recommend the Pilot Razor pens. I've used these for years. I have two colors right now for my writing: brown and green. They work very well, but don't fly with them. They don't breathe well in elevation changes. I have several stained shirts that testify to that.

Not that I'm aware of, but the ink runs out far, far faster than the eraser, and it's not even really cost effective to replace the ink. I ended up buying new pens to save money. Which feels like a huge waste. Anyway, the erasers are super durable and don't get used up very fast, unlike pencil erasers. You won't have a problem even if you buy replacement ink cartridges many times. I think that I erase far more than the average student.

I prefer these Sakura Pigma pens for sketching. They hold their tip and last a long time. I would stay away from felt just because they seem to lose their point sooner. YOu might also look at Faber-Castell. While I don't like these quite as well, I know an instructor who recommends them. Hope this helps.

I have the two refills. I have inked about 3 heavy black 11x17 illustrations, and quite a few 'sketches' and have still not really run out of the first insert. It's probably low, but I would have to say, running out of ink depends on how heavy handed you are, so far the brush rights itself nicely as long as it's wet with ink, straight and not curved, etc.. I'd hazard buying one and trying it out, as it is the lesser expensive alternative, and I've seen a lot of artists using them. :)

They are like Rapidograph pens. The ink is like the ink we used to use, so it is not easy to erase. It is much more convenient than loading cartridges from a squeeze bottle.

J. I. Rosemberg! Thanks for your interest in our products. The tips for these pens are very soft and "buoyant". They are hollow, so they are only meant to be swept across the screen, as you would your fingertip or a paintbrush. Hope that helps! If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

This is a very open-ended question. The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The pens work great, are smooth, bright and fun to work with. I do a lot of organized doodling (some call it tangling) and for my purposes they work wonderfully. The only negative is they can smear just a bit if you don't give them a second or two to dry. I do wish they came in finer point sizes; but still great. As always, this is only my opinion and the only way to be sure they work for you is try them. There may be smaller groupings at a lower price if that is a concern.

Not sure exactly what you mean. The package says you can use for zentangle and if you were drawing intricate details sure. The point is super fine but flows/writes smoothly.

Hello :), these brushes are great for the price and are comparable but I would not say a dupe. I only had shredding with the pointed tip brush. The other three are great and they blend foundation really well. Give them a try and also try to get them directly from amazon or a US seller, because in doing so you will receive them faster. If you have anymore questions I will gladly answer.

I use 3 sets of markers touch marker pen and ciao sketch and this one ..dunno if my reply helps but worth to get it! no complaints for using them!

I wouldn't put these through the printer. Texture may not take ink evenly due to nooks and crannies. Fab for watercolors or brush pens.

I used them for Zentangle art. They worked wonderfully for that. They have a different composition than the square coasters which did not take the pigment ink as well. My best guess is that these could be painted on with great success.

No these are not "real nibs". It already has the ink in it. I bought these for my kids for less mess, and more ease.

No, these are just like regular gel pens. You should try wet erase markers or dry erase markers for that.

Yup! They preform just like the expensive ones. I've had no problem with them and we get quite a few pages per cartridge. I'll definitely reorder from YoYoInk when I need more. Signed, Dogowner
