    To stop your ink bleeding, use better paper, stop handling the paper as the sweat from your fingers will cause bleeding and gaps in your work, and prepare your writing surface by using pounce powder. Also, put something [blotting paper] under the hand supporting the work to keep the artwork clean.

    Another great feature of these pens is that they dont't make that unpleasant creaking sound that most markers make. They run against the paper smooth and quiet, almost like a glass.

    Just as she took the pen in her hand, I noticed that their channel and the pen I bought recently look the same
    this is a pen from their company!

    In this video at 7:11 you make the ascenders of lower case letters one nibwith higher than the capitals. In the video about the capitals you show an example sheet where the capitals and the lower case ascenders are equally high. Can you explain?

    How to get gradients with these markers? Can I dip them in watercolor, calligraphy, or fountain pen inks?
