Calligraphy Caps, How To Make Caligraphy Caps

[Idealeyez]

i don't know if anyone else has tried this but i decided i wanted a caligraphy cap for tags. its really easy to make too.
i used a german outline but i'm sure you can use any caps to do it.
using an exacto knife or something quite sharp, cut a slit in the cap where the hole is so that instead of a hole, you have a line. its not perfect but you do get some pretty nice tags out of it with some lines being thick and some really skiny, giving it the caligraphy effect.
has anyone else tried this or something similar?

[codeone]

youve prolly never even tagged.

[element503]

if you have anymore tips on how to make thes put them in here.

there are no calligraphy caps I don&#39;t think, you&#39;d probably need to get some Krylon Fusion Cans that come stock with a fan cap, that&#39;s good for making calligraphy type letters. They spray a flat line

[Kronone]

the only caps i think are cool (homemade) is the star cap, it looks cool for certant handstyles...i seen a kid do it ones, he just took an exacto knife and cut an X over the cap, it looked pretty cool but you wouldnt wanna fdo it too mutch, ppl would get sick of it, lol

[.KroMatiKz.]

omg&#33; you are an idiot&#33; they already make "caligraphy caps", i bought some krylon paint and the tip for the yellow can is a "caligraphy tip". k man, pretty much every shitty brand of can can {besides black and white} comes with a "Caligraphy cap."

goddamnit.

[graffer that tags]

just rack them off the cans in the harware store and get like 10 so you don&#39;t have to make them

[G-RAF]

You say "omg your an idiot", yet you posted in an old thread that was dead? Idiot.

[PAST2]

Is it best to cut the slit horizontally or vertically across the hole?

[Loose Bandits]

i found a calligraphy cap on an 3m product

[DEF-Y]

this topic is nothing new to even semi-toy writers just use a exacto knife and a needle.

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

[NOMX]

mang im too washed, i just use them for some fast fills

[ADozenFuries]

y dont u just buy transveral caps, i use em n there pretty sic for tags, u can rotate the tip to so u can change up ur angles

[omek1]

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

[D_U_K_E]

y would u ruin a normal cap when u can buy calligrafis for the same amount...

[Simplone]

just by a transversal cap there like 50 cents

[Olick]

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.

[xtitansx0]

if u get the krylon for plastic they come with a style that u can use for calligraphy writing yet its a male cap but the paint is okay also comes on the "h20" kinds


edit- i mean its a female

[Jase]

ive been to 5 art school, been offer scholarships to art school. been drawing since 6 yrs old, anything else u wanna know?

why have you been to 5 different art schools?

[fret07]

i hate caligraphy caps they suck

personal opinion i think they are sixck they give depth to ur tag and make it look better. and dont try to put the slit in virticly coz it comes out very shit beleive me. i tried lol stick to horizontal

fret 07 aka nekel1

[Rambooboo]

you can get calligraphy caps off some rusto like the neon green one

[Flash_One]

you can get calligraphy caps off of the montana german cap line or on those canadian tremclad cans. but i believe they only sell tremclad in canada

[tuckfoys]

thers these adhesive cans called 3m's and they got calligraphies on um. the red can is thin and the tall green can has a huge fuck line on it.

How Do You Make Flare Caps??????

[##sable##]

How Do You Make Flare Caps??????

yeu dont. theres no such thing. flares are a can movement trick, not a cap type. the olden day writers made all sorts of effects with just NY fats and NY skinnys. they didnt have no fancy effect caps. and they still made some of THE BEST art ever.

[bomb in daylight]

spray adhisive cans have calligraphy caps on them,
well some do just rack the caps

[Buhda420]

why would anyone need a thread on how to make em u must be fucking dumb there like 10c a cap if u want it for a female can and if ur so desp just steel em
further mor nothin looks better than tags with calligraphy caps unless u doo top and bottom fades with pink dot on a chrome mtn

[EVO YBC]

Simple... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtqX4Q_icQI

[HëRbN]

ireally dont understand why you couldnt just buy some callig. caps.... then you dont have to cut no shit up. I rarely use them but i have like 10 or 15 on hand. they do make bad ass throw ups and there handy for fills to but thats what fat caps are for...

[ohgawdxcarcrash]

calligraphy caps are shit if you cant use them right.

[CheapShot]

i saw a long page of graff techinques and you can cut the top up on a can to expose the cap, then move it so when you spray its blocked by the top, in this tutorial you poked a small hole and when you spray a really fine line is made. im sure you can do this to make callig. effects, only thing is more paint is wasted this way and i bet its a mess
