It is equally important to know and understand the material, the importance of pen holder and to choose a calligraphy pen which is best suited for you.

IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT AFFECT CALLIGRAPHY

There are various important parameters that make a difference in Calligraphy. You need to be mindful and careful and should also keep a few factors into consideration.

Ink- The ink that you choose is a deciding factor that affects the outcome . The color, price, and the waterproof feature are few points that should be considered while choosing the ink for the calligraphy pen. You can either use a dip pen or a fountain pen for Calligraphy. Beginners usually go for dip pen for comfort.

Nib and Pen holder- Pen holder is a critical part , and is made in various sizes and of different materials like wood, ivory, plastic, bone, etc. They come in different price range but high price does not guaranty comfort. They are available in different colors too.

The structure of each nib is different and hence the result. For example, beginners should work with bigger nibs. The Nibs can be removed easily from the pen and you do not need to discard the pen.  Although, some nibs are specifically used for a certain pen, and you can not use any other nib for the particular pen.

Paper – Paper that you use and write on for Calligraphy is an important material. The paper you are working on should neither be too slippery as it will create hindrance in forming a grip nor it should be too rough as it can break the nib. #32 Laser jet is actually a good option.

Pens and Pen sets-  Comfort , grip and ease of use matters a lot. There are so many different styles of calligraphy pens suitable for different purposes. For example, Parallel pens which are fountain pens are easy to use. Pilot parallel pen is great for beginners.

Broad edged calligraphy pens are perfect for Italic Calligraphy, Roman, Uncial, Gothic calligraphy and Foundational hand .

You should also remember to clean the fountain pen while changing the cartridge for better functioning and quality of the pen.
