The GC-F866 set is a massive collection designed to give a beginner everything they could possibly need to start practicing calligraphy. With eight pens and 66 ink cartridges in 14 different colors, this kit is built for variety. The pen bodies are made from impact-resistant ABS plastic, which is lightweight and easy to manage while learning new strokes and lettering styles.
The stainless steel nibs are machine-ground and range from extra-fine to a very broad 2.9mm. Because this kit includes so many colors, the ink is formulated to be thin and easy-flowing to help prevent the pens from clogging. A helpful tip for using these pens is to press the cartridge firmly into the pen against a flat surface until you feel it pierce, ensuring a secure fit that helps prevent slow leaks or ink drying out in the barrel.
With 14 colors and eight different nib sizes, this set acts as a complete sandbox for anyone wanting to experiment with various types of script.
If you find that 66 cartridges is more than you need and want to try a more focused set with a guidebook, the Artworx Calligraphy Set is a great alternative.
