<p>I used these pens when I was working as a technical illustrator (early 6o's) and our biggest problem was the clogging. We used them in the drawing office in order to keep a consistent thickness of line mainly. Sad to see that the manufacturers have not solved this problem! I as an artist would not bother with them as the line is too mechanical. Nowadays artists have a wealth of tools to choose from.</p>
