Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 1.0mm calligraphy nib different from the 2.0mm version?

The 1.0mm nib produces narrower downstrokes and tighter line variation, making it better suited for standard-ruled notebooks, planners, and smaller handwriting.

Does this pen require ink cartridges or a converter?

No, the Hocoro is a dip pen that holds ink in its feed capillary channels per dip, eliminating the need for cartridges or converters.

Can I use shimmer and pigment inks safely?

Yes, because the nib and feed can be rinsed completely clean with water, shimmer and pigment inks will not clog the mechanism.

How does the reversible nib storage work?

Pull the nib unit out from the grip, flip it around so the point faces inside the barrel, and push it back in for safe storage.

Are replacement nibs available for the Sailor Hocoro?

Yes, Sailor offers interchangeable nib units for the Hocoro body, including Fine (F), 2.0mm calligraphy, and Fude bent nib options.
