Soaking pen: The early pen holder was solid, made of steel with a special shape (the principle and shape are similar to those of modern pens), inserted on the pen holder, dipped in pen water when writing, and replaced at any time when it was seriously worn, and the pen holder did not need to be replaced.
Ink bag pen: the pen comes with an ink bag and is hidden in the hollow pen holder. The pen tip and the pen holder are integrated in appearance, which solves the shortcomings of inconvenient ink carrying and small ink storage (short writing time at one time, low efficiency of frequent ink dipping and easy pollution of paper). Since it came out, it has been accepted and popularized by many users.
The wide dipping pen tip is larger, wider and more elastic than the ordinary pen tip used for writing, so it can produce rich thickness and line changes depending on the user's wrist skills, because these characteristics are still used by cartoonists and hard pen calligraphers.
Comics is Japan's strong point, and Japan also has a very mature industrial chain. Japanese cartoonists also paint with a wide dip pen, which is characterized by an obvious "G" on the front of the pen. In the mid-1990s, with the popularity of Japanese comics in China, Japanese high-quality comic equipment was accepted, used and sought after by comic lovers in China. At that time, several domestic fountain pens could be bought for a few cents, and no one bought them. At that time, an imported "G" nib from 8 yuan has become the standard professional equipment for cartoonists.
Since the development of chinese comic, there are many kinds of professional wide dip pens of domestic and foreign brands, but there are still cartoonists who affectionately call this kind of professional dip pen "G". ? Another commonly used tap water nib is a round nib, and the opening and closing of lines is not as big as "G", which is similar to ordinary tap water nib.
