About this deal

After you completed all the steps, your new G nib fountain pen will look awesome. Time to fill up some ink and test. Though the Zebra G in the Jinhao can be made to work, the shortcomings mentioned in the comments and the article are real. It is difficult, and is, at best a "workaround". Use 2 small clips to hold the nib and the feed together (i.e. one clip near the tip area of the feed and the other near the end of the feed ). If you leave the pen overnight, ink might dry up. Just push out some ink from the convertor to get the ink into the feed and you can use the pen again. And if your nib somehow runs dry, use the same steps. Look out for the first cut on the feed, the first slot of those vertical parallel thingys. You should align that slot to the cut of the nib such that when you look at the nib from the top, you can see through.

I've developed an entire line of fountain pens entirely around the Zebra G using a proprietary, custom made (by me) ink feeder system that: Here's a comparison between a drawing drawn with the Namiki Falcon (left) and G nib (right). ConclusionYou'll need this to remove the G nibs from the pen. Because the G nib is not designed for this fountain pen, it will be a bit tight when you it in together with the feed. How to put the G nib on the fountain pen Please have a look at http://www.desideratapens.com/faq for more information. And feel free to look at my user manual at the bottom of the navigation bar. When you draw too fast and flex at the same time, it has a tendency to railroad. Flexing uses a lot of ink and the feed wasn't able to provide enough ink. So go slow when you're drawing. Use the pliers to press down on the sides of the nib and feed. I would use tissue or paper to prevent damage. With a normal nib holder, I could only fill half of the (top left) square with lines before I need to reload. Other than the top left square, all the rest were drawn with the G nib fountain pen.

Is easy to remove, reinsert, adjust and clean with a precise, smooth press fit with a hard stop. It's taken me years to get here, but it is about as fool-proof as you can get.Do you use a nib pen for drawing, making comics, calligraphy? Do you find it a hassle to have to constantly reload the nib? Ever wish that you could use a Zebra Comic G Nib on a fountain pen? If you grip wrongly with the pliers, you're going to damage the plastic nib. I've damaged mine after I found out the correct way of gripping. Don't be like me. I did not share your fortunate experience inserting the Zebra G nib into the the Jinhao 750 ! As the curvature of Zebra nib sideway with your thumb and index fingerdoes not fit that of the feed , there is always a gap near the tip of the nib when it is fully inserted . You end up with a useless pen as no ink will travel to the tip with such gap ! Spend some time to look at the feed. Note that the feed is not circular all around. There's a flat portion at the bottom. Look at the grip section and look for the flat part there.
