Good Art Pens?

by Nancy Bell Scott

What are your favorite pens to use in mail art?  I have a few good (sort of) ones for my regular-size collage work -- for applying lines, not for actually writing -- but they aren't turning out to be great for mail-art scale.  New ones for writing, asemic writing, drawing, and outlining are needed.  All suggestions welcome.

      I like a cheesy, craft type pen called LePen by Marvy. Faber Castells are nice and black. I also like a fountain pen, Harbin, because there are so many ink colors. I did like the Copic Multiliner, but when refilling, there have been problems getting the ink to flow.
      Thanks for asking.

        I have always loved Rotring Isograph pens (not to be confused with their felt tipped pens) - they come in a range of sizes from a couple of millimetres wide to finer than hair. You have to maintain them (they clog up if not used) but are fantastic for fine line work. You can also get a range of coloured inks to use with them: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rotring-Isograph-College-Technical-Accesso...
