Only under limited conditions can two colors form a beautiful marble pattern without blending too much into each other. Marble forming techniques have existed, but it was always considered difficult to create marble patterns with acrylic resin. At Sailor Pen, we have developed an original technique for realizing marble patterns with polished shine and depth, using acrylic resin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSailor Professional Gear Slim Mini - Rencontre Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: Medium Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14K Gold Nib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with two cartridges in black\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill Mechanism: Cartridge (Sailor proprietary) or Sailor Mini Converter Note: Sailor Standard converter does not fit due to it's size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Separately: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/all-products\/products\/sailor-mini-converter\"\u003eSailor Mini Converter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/sailor\"\u003eMore Sailor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-professional-gear-slim-mini\"\u003eprevious series\u003c\/a\u003e has been discontinued.
