Bearing down on nibs ruins the tines. I use the same finesse with my styluses.

You must have faulty nibs or press harder than needed. I could only leave a mark on coarse paper by pressing harder than the screen needed.
It needs less pressure than any rollerball, capillary drawing pen, calligraphy pen, soft 4B pencil, charcoal or paint marker or brush I've used. I've done calligraphy off and on for decades since learning it at school. I've made rook quill pens (the word pen comes from the Latin for quill, and the predecessor of the pencil case was for quills & ink and called a penner).
Despite being soft plastic so as to not scratch the screen I think the tips are longer lasting than quills. Also I've never had to wipe tip residue off the Sage screen. The buttons mean it needs much less wiping than the Elipsa.
