Review on Paper Mate Medium Assorted Colors by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Flair Medium vs Sharp vs Superfine Flair

I used markers in high school for taking notes, but the problem with them was that the ink bled through the paper so I couldn't use the back of the paper . Although felt tip pens are not as greasy as permanent markers, they do not show through. I can still write on the back of the paper. Even if you press firmly on the tip of the marker, the ink drips and spreads. What I love about Flair pens is that even with hard pressure, the ink doesn't bleed - it stays in. They are also odorless. A NOTICE. I also wanted to try the extra fine nibs and got them, but they are very good (I guess that's why they're "super fine"). What I particularly like about the Flair pens (MD tip) is that they sit well in the hand and write fluently. The only thing I don't like, definitely like, is the scratchy sound that comes out when I force write, but then the solution to this problem is as follows. don't use force to write! My tip: if you write small and separately, use a felt-tip pen. If you are writing in a large/bubbly or regular (computer-style) font, use a medium Pointed Flare. If you write in cursive and write in a light font, use extra-fine-tipped felt-tip pens.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old
