THE PEN REPORT

First disclaimer, I bought it on sale. I've had them in my shopping cart for a while and as soon as they went on sale I left a burning trail and put them in my shopping cart as soon as possible. I love her. Even if I hadn't bought them on sale, I would still love them no matter what. Therefore, the appearance of them on sale meant that they got even better. I did my best to do a little test with them to try them all. I tried them on 2 sheets of paper. Plain white printer paper and black paper that looks like a mix of cardboard and regular heavy construction paper. I took both in a window setting with natural daylight and flash photography from my phone. I have to say I'm impressed and I like it so much. I originally bought them to use on white paper like journaling and other arts and crafts. I wrote them down as they are in the package from top to bottom. not missed, if at all. They are bright and a pleasure to write with. They look great on white paper and possibly other light colored paper. Anyway, black paper didn't fare very well, and that's why I believe it. Not just because tests showed me that, but my theory did too. As the ink looks, it has a "gel-like" transparency that may not be fully opaque. Even solid colors, including white, were not opaque, so needlework on darker paper also did not appear. He pretty much soaked it up as it dried. Glitters have a translucent base, like some metallics. Wow, considering I didn't buy them for dark background crafts, I'll let that slide. The ink looks bigger and holds more than standard inks. I don't have any similar gel pens to compare, but I'm looking at one of my standard colored pencils. They look about twice as big as usual. On regular printer paper and most likely standard collage paper, it shows a bit from the back, but the pens don't really seem to bleed. Some pens seemed to release a little more ink at the beginning of the letter, but that's okay. I'm usually a hard print writer, so I had to step back a bit to avoid having that resistance line in the middle of each dash. It's just me, though not necessarily pens. In a nutshell. Take her. πŸ™ƒ
