Ok thank you Estefa, i don't want to start messing with my flange, so I will slow my roll so to speak. Stick to the ones I have for now untill I get better. By the way I am a begin begineer only about 1 month 2 at the most. My tach g nibs are sharp and I think i might be better suited for A flexable nib. My writing seems to look nicer ( more control) with my leonardt Copperplate 1: Crown Nib.

I wanted to try the priciple ef because I heard high regards of the nib. I inquired about getting some and was told my holder is a "NIKKO" holder and it would be alittle loose. Oh gosh when will the madness end. I had no idea when I purchused the holder (ziller model). The store only had two the speedballplastic and the affore said mention model, I purchused both. As most of you know the speedball is not adjustable so therfore not very much use. How does one try differnet nibs without having to buy 4 differnet holders?

I purchased some Georgia-Pacific paper, Weight 28 bright 97, ink jet and laser paper. Does not work so well. I am on the look out for some of the HP paper. So its not my favorite, i am forced to use Borden & Riley pure rag marker paper, it was recommended by local calligraphy teacher. Not cheap I hate using it for practice.

Mine is simple. Lightbox on my kitchen table. Sometimes hard to work because someone likes a warm surface.
