Frequently asked questions
What type of tip do Koi pens have, and are they suitable for calligraphy?
The pens have a flexible brush tip that responds to changes in pressure, so you can create both thin lines and broad strokes, ideal for calligraphy and lettering.
What kind of paper should these pens be used on?
Watercolor and drawing paper are best, as the paint may bleed through regular office paper when blended with water.
