    Well the calligraphy effect DOES look diferent, and why you be hating him because he from compton? Because you think its a place wannabes want to be to try and be stra1gh7 up 0.G n1ccu

    yeah but those caps are female and dont fit on most cans. [/b][/quote]
    not Anderson paint, they come standard with male caligraphy caps, paint is a bit more expensive but its good

    look for the special krylon cans that say "bonds to plastic" those have calligraphy caps/fan caps.....they work great with those really small krylon cans.....flat black.

    and they have normal inserts, fit n anything from walmart to montana

    lots of trash right here.....
    cmon just a cap, why have to dissing each other?

    Okay back into the topic:
    Yes he is right cutting with a knife CAN make a calligraphy cap,
    but it's a bit different, it is "kind of " calligraphy cap but not "absolute" calligraphy cap like those stocks caps you get from walmart
    The effect is more natural and a bit outstanding from stock calligraphy caps

    Marko - www.marko-93.com
    he uses this technique to paint his stuff as well as tagging, instead of using a ready made caligraphy cap

    riddle me this. whats the difference between a transversal and a caligraphy..personally...i think nothing. they both spray a thin line about 5-10 inches long. buy one or make one. way to bring up a dead topic.
