The GC QUILL F736 is a versatile starter kit that allows you to test out seven different line widths, from a standard 0.5mm to a very broad 3.0mm. The pen bodies are made from high-gloss ABS plastic, a durable material that can withstand the everyday use of a student or hobbyist. This kit is particularly helpful for those who aren't yet sure which nib size they prefer, as it allows for a wide range of experimentation at a reasonable price point.
Included with the set are 36 ink cartridges, providing a significant amount of writing time. To ensure a good start, it is helpful to press the ink cartridge firmly until you hear a mechanical click, which confirms the vacuum seal is broken and ink can flow to the nib. The stamped stainless steel nibs are designed for durability, though they may feel a bit "toothier" on the paper than expensive gold-tipped pens, which can actually help some beginners feel more in control of their strokes.
- Complete range of nib sizes supports Gothic, Italic, and standard handwriting.
- Large ink capacity is ideal for those who plan to practice frequently.
- Lightweight plastic design helps prevent hand fatigue during long sessions.
For a slightly more premium feel with a metal pen body, you might prefer the Wordsworth & Black Gift Set.
