Draw, write and letter with any of several popular Hunt drawing nibs in our Basic Fountain Pen using any ink, even India ink, and all drawing paints. Use the 22B, 56 and 101 Imperial nibs that many artists enjoy for their fine line, flexible tip, and wide line variation. You can remove the nib to clean or replace it - just pull out the old nib and stick in the new. Use other popular nibs in this pen, such as the Zebra Manga G nib and our Sketch nibs. We provide other feeds for more nibs. You can also use our adapters to draw with crowquills and Gillott 303 nibs. You can switch the ink feed to provide different flow rates. This pen is delivered with our standard feed, which suits most popular inks and drawing paints. Easy to change the feed, just pull out the old feed and slip in the new feed. This pen has an attractive retro design, but the real benefits are in the internal configuration, so not obvious. The cap screws on and off, and the last twist locks the threads to secure against leakage. Expose the hole in the cap to release internal air pressure when you uncap the pen, then cover the hole when you cap the pen to seal against leakage. We use a material to which nothing sticks, so ink or paint won't dry out and build up. The pen is durable and solid, built to last a lifetime. You can drop this pen without fear of cracking or breaking it. The feed picks up ink directly from the reservoir so there are no narrow channels to plug up or clean out. Easy to clean, you can field strip the pen in half a minute. The large capacity reservoir lets you draw all day and not run out. Remove the reservoir to double your capacity. The tight threads prevent leakage. We developed and improved this pen over 20 years using feedback from artists who shared their opinions with us. Attach our Brush Tool (listed on ) to the back of this pen so you can wash your drawings with water or dilute ink to maximize the expression of your drawn line. You can also add color to your

Leaky.
I like Ackerman Pens. I have a bunch. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get this pen to stop bleeding out ... I wanted to use this one for my smaller sketchbooks but, as it stands I can't. They were nice enough to send a thin feed but it still does it. I've tried the nib in different positions but still bleeds out. The design of the others I have are with the reservoir and work perfectly. It's just this one that has no flow control.**Update** as a last ditch effort, I tried the letting a little ink dry on the nib and it seems to have helped a bit. It's still leaky but not AS bad. I'm using W&N India black which the thickness of the India ink seems to help too. At least I can use it now :)
