Rotring Rapidograph Pens

The Rotring Rapidograph technical pen has a prefilled, disposable, capillary ink cartridge which offers a significant improvement over other technical pens in the single most troublesome area — consistent ink flow.

Virtually no maintenance is required because the ink reservoir and the breathing system are one piece. This means that each time you replace the ink cartridge, the pen gets a complete new pressure equalization system, and you get instant ink flow without leaks or blobs until the cartridge is empty.

Each pen is fully equipped with one cartridge, a stainless steel drawing point, and a color-coded barrel and cap with double seal and clip. It's refillable with cartridges only.

Ink Cartridges — Replacement cartridges provide permanent, waterproof, black ink. Each box contains 3 cartridges. For use only in Rotring Pens.

These are the best of the technical pens

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Rotring Rapidograph Pens:

I use them for illustration. I've used the Koh-I-Noors, the Staedler's, and the Rotrings. The Rotrings are the best -- they aren't flawless: they still can free flow, and they're hard to clean, and they will dry out if stored for too long. But they have the largest reservoir, and have the most consistent quality. The price has tripled in recent years.

Excellent Pen

Comments about Rotring Rapidograph Pens:

This pen hasn't clogged and gives consistent line every time. It must be the sealed cartridge system. If you're looking for a quality rapidograph, this is the one to get. The only problem seems to be stocking the cartridge refills.

Excellent Pen

By Jim

Pros

Cons

Comments about Rotring Rapidograph Pens:

I recently purchased the .13, .18 and .25mm Rotring Rapidograph pens. They have exceeded my expectations. The ink is free flowing and does not clog. I also have the koh-i-noor technicals pens, and have found that they clog easily in the smaller nib sizes. But the Rotring pens do not. Blick is also the best art supply store that I have used, whether it is local or mail order. Their service is second to none and their product offering is extensive and prices are very competitive. I buy as much as I can from Blick and will continue to do so.

Good-but be careful of the point

Comments about Rotring Rapidograph Pens:

I find these pens really great to use-they give a nice constant line, but be very careful of the point. I've bent two by not being diligent enough when putting the caps back on and the replacement points are VERY expensive.

Excellent pen

Comments about Rotring Rapidograph Pens:

I have been a fan of technical pens for a long time, and use them for fine detail drawing and writing. Of the many brands and styles that I have owned nothing compares to the Rapidograph. It gives a smooth line without flaw, and is much less likely to jam or need cleaning than any other I have used. I highly recommend it.
