Simply twist the thumb screw to produce a broader or finer line, or adjust the angle of the nib to the page to achieve the juiciest thick strokes. Playing with the One-Dip-Nib to create a variety of styles \u0026amp; novel techniques becomes completely addictive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stainless steel nib is more precise and can achieve a finer line, and because it's more durable will hold its tip point for a very long time. Brass is a softer material and so feels smoother on the page and has a larger variation between thin line widths and thick when adjusting using the thumb screw.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I dip it into ink?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDip the nib until just before the ink level reaches the thumb screw (not beyond it). We recommend holding it in the ink for around 10-15 seconds to allow the ink to saturate the reservoir nicely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it scratchy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis nib has been hand-finished to remove as much scratchiness as possible. We've found some people love the super fine 'bite' into the page, so we've sanded them to maintain this. If you’d like to change how it feels on the page, you can, of course, use the included sandpaper to make it even smoother too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom's Studio","offers":[{"title":"Brass","offer_id":53181846552736,"sku":null,"price":2599.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Steel","offer_id":53131396841632,"sku":null,"price":2599.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/3760\/files\/Tom_sStudioOneDipNib.webp?v=1768353842","url":"https:\/\/www.everythingcalligraphy.com\/products\/toms-studio-one-dip-nib-a-very-versatile-nib","provider":"Everything Calligraphy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
