I am just starting out, what size nib is best for a beginner?

My personal feeling is that larger is better for beginners. You can see the difference between thick and thin more readily and it gives you room to work out smooth curves and stronger strokes. The main thing I had to learn when starting was that it takes a lot of practice before you get any confidence -- several sets of 100 repetitions of each letter on appropriately lined paper. I was making no progress until a friend pointed this out to me. I would start with the larger size and then go down to smaller size when your strokes feel confident and smooth.

Sorry, I can't help. I bought my pen with just the one nib; it's on the finer side rather than the broader, but not really fine.

I believe the nib will last a long time if the pen is taken care of and not abused. I've had my pen for over a year and have had no problems.

Just get the pentel refill lead in 0.7 (it has the blue top). And it's not expensive and comes with very large amount of refills

Unfortunately, I'm right handed, but I'm a teacher who works with teaching kids to write. My take on this nib is that a left hander could use it easily enough, but it lays down a LOT of ink, and depending how you were trained to hold a pen/pencil, you may end up with a constant smear on your paper and the heel of your hand. Try buying a pen with a finer nib like a Platinum Preppy. But since the price of this pen is low, it might be a good place to start...

Hello, first of all my pens were garbage, none would write. I just threw them out. As far as I could tell the pen nibs were all the same. Hope you have better luck.

There are 10 nibs- round (dome shaped) and chisel tip. Also, all other nibs that Wacom sells separately are compatible with this pen. "For the price" it is a great deal, even if you have to buy supplementary nibs (which you will eventually have to do as they do wear out with use); do a bit of research to see what characteristics each nib type provides and choose according to your needs. Hope this helps.

I also upgraded from an older Wacom Pad. I was really worried about size, I knew the small was too small, and thought the large may be to large. I was right, and do think you will also be right is choosing the medium size.

It is about 2/3 the size of your standard bic pen. That being said, don't let the small size deter you as it has an incredible weight to it that makes it still quite easy to write with, this coming from a person with large hands.

I can't answer that question directly because I seem to remember that it varies by production, and sometimes you can get a choice. If the nib is medium, and you want fine, that is a pretty easy adjustment to make yourself. The other way is much more difficult. Perhaps you should call if there is a phone number available. Noodlers has very fine products, well worth the money (I have no relationship with the company).

I had the exact same dilemma about 6 months ago. The Hauser 707's were already in about 4-5 different rollerball pens of mine. So I took the gamble on the 777's, hoping it was just an upgrade, since I couldn't find the 707's anywhere. I've found that it's not so much the length of the refill, but the hexagon or square or round shape of the nib. The bad news is I have since thrown out all the old 707's (so I can't tell you about any nib shape or size differences w/ 100% accuracy) BUT... The good news is the 777's fit perfectly in all my pens. I say go for it.

Hi! I'm not really sure. You probably would want to contact Wacom with an email and ask them what kind of nib is needed for the Intros Pen first. If it's the same one on Amazon then I would go with that. That's all I can think of to help you. Sorry and good luc.

Medium. BTW, if you are interested in some really nice writing, you can get Monteverde blue ink refill to replace the black that comes with this. That would depend on your personal choice of ink colors.

The basic small is what you need. Optionally, you could spring for the eraser version. It comes down to personal preference on surface area for drawing...tablets take a bit of getting used to. Hope this helps.

We generally carry the medium nib. If you specify the nib by emailing us, we can try to acquire the specific nib for you from MontBlanc.

I would recommend you give these a shot, just so you get the hang of using fountain pens again. When I first started to use FPs, I used a very heavy hand-a habit from the ballpoint and rollerball days. Thankfully, I was only using disposable pens so I didn't end up ruining the nibs.Although I've moved on to more expensive pens, I still keep these around. They're good value for money and are good writers as well.

I believe this is a #6 size nib, which is widely available from a number of manufacturers, although the nibs often cost more than this pen. In any case, you can buy a Bulow replacement nib quite inexpensively from xfountainpens (dot) com. You can probably get advice from them on how to replace it, too.
