🖋️ Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pen 0.3mm - Red Purple - Precision Writing & Drawing Tool Review

I bought this color hoping to replace the one I lost because I use this color a lot. Unfortunately on arrival it was not the color advertised but was purple and looked more like the 334-6 Finliner than the 334-61 Finliner I ordered.

Each pen is packaged in a 2.5-3 inch label. I carefully peeled off the label, but it didn't come off cleanly. Even after removing all visible markings of the label, a very stubborn sticky residue remains on most of the pen. I've tried several ways to remove the adhesive but the stickiness remains. Four dollars is a lot for a pen that is uncomfortable to hold. For inventory management, it would make much more sense to place each pen in an individually sealed pouch.

I don't really like these pens because I wanted them for writing, not painting/drawing. If you want to have them for coloring, you might find them very good. Colors are nice (albeit more washed out than I expected), but I don't think the 0.3mm tip looks good. I have gel pens with 0.38mm and 0.4mm tips that write finer than these. They're more like a flimsy magic marker and really not much to write with. In the end I returned it.
