Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Wooden Box

These inks cost £3.25 each on campus, so I found this listing to be a bargain.The top and bottom pieces of the box are essentially the same minus wooden dividers, you can tell from the indents on the cover. I suppose this reduces hassle in the manufacturing process. That said, the box can be laid flat on tables, which is convenient for organising; you can place other stationary on the cover. It's a nice box.The ink themselves are fantastic and each as as it should be. I purchased this for drawing not calligraphy, but I did try out the provided dip pen anyway and found it easy to hold, with a satisfactory range of nibs.Having used it for a few days, some things to note:- the reservoir will save you from dipping after every letter so don't misplace that- give the metallics (especially gold) a good long shake because the particles settle over time- wipe the nibs dry after washing so they don't rust- when dipping you only want to dip the nib.. let the pen stay dry- use as little pressure as possible when starting out, then add more if necessary- dip again if you need more ink (pressing harder won't magically refill ink)

Always good quality from W & N

I have tried lots of other reasonably priced inks and non compare well to W & N. Often the others cause intense staining. The pigment in these is perfect, flows well and last well too. I had some that were decades old, and yet still worked fresh out of the bottle. This is a nice set of useful colours for artists and crafters.

Most of the items were fine but one of the nibs was bent, and try as I might I can’t fix it. Too much palava to replace it to be honest. But everything else was great.

Excellent inks, glass bottles arrived safely. Very happy buyer.

Really nice ink very opaque it usually needs a good shake before using but the colours are nice. It is not water resistant.

This was a present for my cousin, she’s not put it down since Christmas! Great value set! She absolutely adores the different inks and would definitely recommend it to any one who is looking for a calligraphy set but doesn’t want to spend a fortune on it! Great starter kit!

Opened the box lifted out the paint and it falls straight out of the flimsy packaging and falls to the floor shattering and splattering blue ink absolutely everywhere… a massive mess and a lo5 of time spent clearing it up, absolutely terrible… please whom ever is packing these please make sure the bottles are clearly placed into the ink boxes and the bixes are properly closed at the top and bottom. Ink looked fine and wish i had the opportunity to use it

Me gustó la consistencia y colores de las tintas. Recomendables.

This is only my second buy for ink. I finally got through the black and I wanted something different. This product is all that. I docked a star, and I was warned - gold/metallic inks don't glow through the nib very well, they also dry fast and form a skin kind of? Connecting strokes in letters like K is hard. Colors are great, overall I like it.

La tinta Windsor & Newton.Es una tinta muy buena para la calgrafia.Usada en pluma fuente o con plumillas.

Excelente nankin cobre muito bem e tem um acabamento fosco.
