puck_saint Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 So, I inherited this set of rapidograph pens. I love them! I've never used anything like them before. But, at the size I like to ink at, the #3 (.8 mm, green band) is just a little too large sometimes, and the #2 (.6 mm, red band) a little too small. I found out about the #2.5 (.7 mm, light blue band, not pictured below), which I'd really like to try out. My question is, do I need to buy the entire pen, or can I just buy one of these replacement tips and put it in the body of one of pens i use infrequently? New to rapidographs and I know that they can be touchy and some iterations were/are discontinued; I don't want to accidentally buy something incompatible with my older set.Thanks!

katerchen Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Not sure ... but : talk to this guy http://www.ebay.com/usr/pinkbox7?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 He knows Koh-I-Noor products inside out and sells them at very reasonable prices. And he can get basically anything direct from the factory warehouse. No relation other than being a happy repeat customer. Link to post Share on other sites

sidthecat Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 My sister uses technical pens and you're probably better off with older nibs. There's been a falloff of quality, but they should theoretically still fit your pens. Link to post Share on other sites
