SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 8 Pack

Bueno, el pen brush pierde fácilmente su forma.

So I did a test swatch on the paper I use for watercolor before I used the pens & Im so glad I did. They were not waterproof. I contacted the manufacturer (not seller) & asked if I had fakes or was I doing something wrong. I explained exactly how I tested it & they said it was the paper. The sizing wasnt allowing ink to fully set onto paper. So beware, test your exact paper before you start a project to make sure it wont run. 3 stars because I feel the package should warn that it should be tested 1st due to different papers affect results.

1 was dry and did not work sadly :( but the others were perfect for my art!

Good purchase but they do have the tendency to smear

Usually cant find these except in specialty stores. Living in a small town, miles from major outlets, finding them on here was easy, and affordable! They work great, and are very clear :)

I bought these to try my hand at zentangle and these were recommended. I love the different sizes and since any kind of art using pens is new to me, I had no idea there was such a huge range. The ink flows consistently and no bleed through. I intend to buy more in the future. These are also great for journaling since my handwriting tends to be very small.

I usually draw with regular pens, but after this arrived it was a big difference. Made my drawings look more advanced. I have to replace after 1.5 year of use, which is no big deal considering the great quality of the pens. No ink leakage ever occurred. Some of the pens actually still work so Ill wait until the ink runs out.

I liked the results of these archival pens when I first use them but they last less than an hour of use because the tip smushes down. There may be more ink in them but unusable. I switched to an archival roller boll I found on Amazon and much prefer it for my professional work.

!!Update May 23, 2020!!: Forget everything nice I had to say, these pens are utter garbage. I spent over 30 min working on a drawing expecting them to hold up from the results of the test I conducted. The thickest pen bled EVERYWHERE when I applied the watercolor which of course ruined my artwork. Do NOT buy these pens if you intend to apply anything wet with it. If these are counterfeit pens they need to be taken off AMAZON! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Sadly, the review would have gotten at least a 3 star if I had received all the different types of pens promised in the package. Instead, I received 2 of the 05 (or the .45mm) instead of receiving the Pigma Brush. (Edit 5/18/2020: 005 (finest tip) no longer works after a few uses. The tip was so delicate it receded back into the pen!) I worked a test and the results came out so minimal that it wont show on camera. So theres no real point in posting the pictures (I did anyways just to show I did it) here since you cant really tell the outcome unless you were up close and personal. I put the Pigma .45mm pen up against the Sharpie Ultra Fine Point pen. Rightfully so because I was going to retire the Sharpie for more professional art pens. First test was the instant smudge test. I drew one squiggly line for each and immediately scrubbed my finger over the top of the Pigma first. Then with a separate finger scrubbed the Sharpie. The Pigma smudged while the Sharpie stayed in place. Sharpie wins. Second test was a one min smudge. Same rules applied I just left the ink to sit for one min before scrubbing it. Sharpie won that one too by a hair. Next was the wet test. For me this was the most important because Im going to be using watercolor. Pigma did bleed slightly and fade while the Sharpie bled a tiny tiny bit but did not fade. Yikes. While Im not planning to immediately throw these out and I still consider them to be usable I am somewhat disappointed. Lucky for me I paid only $10 for these on sale but if they cant out perform Sharpie I wont be buying these again. I cant say these are fake because Ive never owned a Pigma brand item before. I will say however that these are very nice to have with the different sizes it gives my art that extra pop and depth Ive been craving.

Se envió antes de la fecha establecida, la caja de cartón llegó un poco doblada por el largo viaje, pero de resto todo está perfecto. No los he usado porque son para un regalo.
