This is the best fine point white marker I've used so far. I have two similar fine-point white pens from other brands and they fall behind this regarding the 'ink' quality and how the ink reacts when used on acrylic painting.. I've tested this Uniball against the others on black paper, as per my photo, and this one is my fav. Lines are full, neat and clear. The ink flows effortlessly on the paper, more so than the other two brands that I use, and I don't have to keep pumping the ink out every time I write. Great price for a 3-piece pack set, too
This is a great large grog marker with a very clean wide nib. The marker is intended to be refilled with the brand ink or with any other ink/high flow/pouring acrylic paint.
I wanted this for my artwork, to make bold big marks and thick lines. It works beautifully for that. Also, the nib glides beautifully on all papers I have tried it on.
The marker is cleverly designed. The opening instructions are on the barrel. The screw system is as simple as it gets; I had a bit of trouble opening it, though, due to the plastic being slightly glued on one of the sides, but this was easily fixable. There is an inner cap, with a pump system (a la Posca) to pump the ink/paint out, which also prevents any spilling. It has a small ball inside the barrel to keep the paint/ink liquid and prevent sedimentation. The cap is really safe too.
On the downside, the price is high for an empty small marker.
This
is an affordable equivalent of the pitt markers. Most of them have a
bullet nib, but the three larger markers have brush, square and chisel
nibs. I use them for everything, for writing on paper, in my collages
and paintings; also, to highlight, mark, shadow or draw. They are as
good as other waterproof markers that I own. The square nib is good for
calligraphy and headings, but it took me a while to get used to it.
The
cap is labelled with the nib size, which is really convenient as I have
tons of markers in my pen holder and it helps me to identify the
markers easily.
I have had these for months, and they haven't dried off.
They
are good quality regarding the ink, but the cheap side shows mostly on
the three largest nibs, which deform rapidly. This is especially the
case with the brush nib. The other downside is in the fact that there
are too many extra fine nibs and not as much medium or larger ones.
Overall, a terrific set and great value for money.
