1, the calligraphy pen can be inked and dipped once.
2. The tip of the calligraphy pen itself has a special shape, and this special shape is used to achieve the effect of calligraphy; The dip pen itself often has no special shape (except writing Gothic), and the effect of changing the thickness of strokes is achieved entirely by changing the shape of the pen tip by the user.
3. Therefore, the tip of a calligraphy pen is generally much harder and softer than a dip pen, and when buying a dip pen, the store will specially remind you to buy a slightly harder one if you are a novice, and then buy a softer one when your level is improved. Soft nib is excellent but difficult to control.
4. Structurally, the tip of the calligraphy pen is welded with iridium particles like an ordinary pen, while the dip pen has no iridium particles. Therefore, it is easy to make calligraphy smooth with a pen. If you write directly with a dip pen, it gives people the feeling that it is "too hanging paper".
