SAILOR Hocoro Brush Pen Clear
SAILOR 27-0135-202The Sailor Hocoro Brush Pen in "Clear" is a versatile and innovative tool designed for artists, calligraphers, and fountain pen ink enthusiasts. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
The Hocoro is a dip pen, which means it doesn't have an internal ink reservoir. You dip the brush tip directly into bottled ink to use it. This design makes it perfect for experimenting with different ink colors without the commitment of filling a fountain pen, and it's especially useful for inks that are not safe for fountain pens, such as the Sailor Dipton Shimmer and Sheen inks.
Feature:
Brush Tip: The "Clear" model comes with a flexible, fiber brush tip. This allows for a wide range of expressive strokes, from fine lines to broad, bold strokes, depending on the pressure and angle you apply. It's ideal for illustration, lettering, and creating ink washes.
Easy to Clean: One of the main advantages of the Hocoro is its ease of cleaning. You can simply rinse the brush tip with water and wipe it dry to quickly switch to a new ink color. The brush tip is designed with small holes at the base to allow for thorough rinsing and prevent ink residue from building up.
Portability and Storage: The pen features a clever design where the brush tip can be detached, reversed, and stored inside the hollow barrel. This protects the delicate bristles from damage and makes the pen compact and easy to carry.
Ink Compatibility: As a dip pen, the Hocoro Brush Pen is compatible with virtually any water-based ink, including all types of fountain pen inks, as well as the special shimmer and sheen inks from Sailor's Dipton series.
Customizable: The Hocoro system is modular. You can purchase the clear barrel and brush tip together, or buy replacement nibs (including other styles like fine, medium, and various calligraphy sizes) and barrels separately to mix and match.
