CALLIGRAPHY MARKER

The wider tip of the purple calligraphic marker is not consistent with size of the nibs of your calligraphic pens also labeled 3.5 mm. I have an ongoing project with these markers and would like a purple one that is exactly the same as the older versions.

Marker is nice, shipping time questionable. Emailed 2 times and was told they would let me know when it shipped. Probably will not reorder.

These are the best calligraphy pens I've found, but they don't last very long -- only about 4-5 pages of text.

These are pretty great markers, and I’ve really enjoyed using them...there’s only a couple of drawbacks...first make sure you’re using really smooth type of paper. The makers aren’t made for coarse paper. Second, they run out too fast! Maybe I’m just using mine too much!

I have been using Marvy Calligraphy markers for many years. They work well on a variety of papers, including Grumbacher practice pads, producing sharply defined edges and consistently smooth lines. The most recent products are a terrible disappointment.

First, the markers, sent in a sealed plastic envelope, leaked during shipment. Specifically, the Green 5.0mm marker leaked onto the surface of all the other markers and the nib of the 5.0mm Red marker. It was a messy ordeal cleaning the markers.

The Green 5.0mm marker never worked properly. The edges of the lines it produced looked like bleeding paint lines, irregular and inconsistent. The lines were streaked and, no matter the orientation, the pressure or the speed of the stroke, it produced white streaks and uneven colors.

The same was true of the 5.0mm Red marker. It, too, produced streaked lines and uneven edges.

Most disappointing was the fact these colors were ordered for Christmas Name Cards. I would have been embarrassed to share the shoddy work produced by these Marvy Calligraphy markers.

The reason this rating is a 2, not a 1, is the Blue 2.0mm and the Red 2.0mm and 3.5mm pens worked satisfactorily although not as well as the Marvy Markers I have received from Marvy Uchida in the past.
