Good but dries out if uncapped
The writing experience is smooth and the colors are lovely. However, if you leave the cap off for even a minute, the tip starts to dry out quickly. Must be careful!

Excellent control
As an artist, I appreciate how responsive the brush tip is to pressure. It transitions from fine liner to broad stroke seamlessly. Great value for the price.

My new favorite pen
I bought this for graffiti practice and small Kai script. The ergonomics are comfortable for long writing sessions, and the ink consistency is perfect.

Great for beginners
I am new to calligraphy and this pen makes it very easy to practice without needing a separate ink bottle. The only reason for 4 stars is that the cap feels slightly loose.

Perfect for bullet journaling!
The flexible tip allows me to create beautiful thick and thin lines effortlessly. The 'Four Seasons' color palette is subtle and elegant, perfect for my daily planner entries.

Vibrant yet soft colors
The national color theme is stunning. The ink flows smoothly without skipping, and it doesn't bleed through standard journal paper. Highly recommended for anime lettering.
Q: What exactly are the 'New National Colors'?
A: This refers to a curated palette inspired by traditional Chinese aesthetics, featuring muted tones like cyan, vermilion, ochre, and teal representing the four seasons.
Q: Is the tip durable for daily use?
A: The soft tip is resilient for normal writing and artistic use. However, avoid pressing too hard or using it on rough surfaces to prevent fraying.
Q: Is this pen suitable for left-handed writers?
A: Yes, the quick-drying water-based ink minimizes smudging, making it very suitable for left-handed users.
Q: Does the ink bleed through thin paper?
A: While the ink is generally well-behaved, we recommend testing on your specific paper first. It works best on paper with a weight of 80gsm or higher.
Q: Can I refill this pen when the ink runs out?
A: No, the DS-827 model is designed as a disposable pen and does not support refilling.
