Nibs and Ink

Nibs are the metal tips of a fountain pen that control ink flow onto paper. They come in various shapes and sizes, influencing writing style and line thickness. Ink is the liquid pigment or dye stored inside the pen or bottle, providing the color for writing. When you write, the nib channels the ink onto the paper smoothly. Together, the nib and ink allow for precise, continuous writing, with customization options for ink color and nib size to suit personal preferences. They are essential components that define the quality and style of handwriting with a fountain pen.
