Have fun with line width variation by FLEXing this specially designed nib in the least stinky material made by Noodler’s. Featuring a special three-tined flex nib, the Triple Tail offers excellent line variation and a generous ink flow to keep up with the demands of flex nib calligraphy. It also features a handmade ebonite feed and a piston filling system To enjoy the best experience possible, we recommend the following:
• Clean the pen thoroughly before using it for the first time.
• Use light pressure on your downstrokes to spread the tines of the nib and create line variation.
• Don't write too quickly when flexing the pen, or else the ink flow won't be able to keep up and the pen will stop writing.
• If the pen stops writing, let it sit for a few minutes so that the feed can recharge with ink. You can speed up the process by tapping the nib on a piece of scratch paper or using the piston mechanism to force more ink into the nib.
The Triple Tail is made with cotton butyrate resin, which has a much less noticeable odor than the vegetal resin used in other Noodler's pens.
PREPAID Return Shipping Label is INCLUDED in shipping fee. Simply place label on packaging that pen was mailed to you in and deliver to post office to return (any package over 1/4” thick for USPS must go over the counter).
