Title: Who pens their bows with Koh-I-Nor?
Post by: Rigs on November 04, 2008, 09:49:00 PM
Greetings All,

I'm looking for some insight on these pens.  If you use them, please give me your thoughts.  What size works best?  Best ink to use with them?  Easy clean up?

Thanks in advance.

Happy hunting,
Jason

I used to.  They work well but I have found Industrial Sharpies to be a bit easier and less maintenance.  If you use your pens a lot for other things, they are great.  But just for bows, like I was doing, they weren't worth the cleanup.  I used the standard ink covered with spray poly.

Thanks Guys,

I've been using the same ink as you Brandon, but with a nib and pen.  They just don't cater to us leftys on some of this stuff...  

I thought it would be better going to the tech pen as I could write as normal instead of trying to change the way I've written for years trying to get the nib to work...

Happy hunting,
Jason

Micron acid free pen about $2.50 multiple colors and sizes. Can pick up at artist supply or good crafts store. .5mm is what I have used.  Dries fast and no smudging.
