About SAKURA Gelly Roll Gel Pens - Medium & Bold Tip Ink Pens
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
68% liked the waterproof ink, whereas 32% found it less effective
Gel-ink-pens are not waterproof as subsequent passes over the paper only indent the prior trail of ink.
80% liked the durable tip, while 20% found it wore down
I've noticed that the fine tip pen can be unreliable, but the other two pens are usually smooth and reliable.
I find that the pen's small tip makes it difficult to write and the ink doesn't show up well.
I find that the Uni-Ball Signo pens have a broad tip that is not suitable for fine-line detail work.
I have noticed that the two smallest diameter tips have trouble laying down a consistent and quality line, but the largest one works fine.
79% appreciated the easy refilling process, but 21% found it messy
I tried various methods to refill the pen, but it did not yield any practical result.
79% praised the ink quality, but 21% found it prone to smudging
Most of the time, barely any ink comes out and when the line is consistent, the ink looks watered down and barely visible.
The ink flow is uneven and the white ink is not opaque, which can be problematic for art work or highlighting.
The ink color has a creamy tint and does not complement graphite/charcoal work.
The ink quality is excellent for medium and bold sizes, but the fine point is almost watered down after writing for a page or so.
86% appreciated the quick drying time, but 14% found it dried slowly
Each pen writes smoothly and takes around five minutes to dry down to prevent smudging when rubbing.
White ink can lose its ability to roll out if not used for around 8 months.
86% liked the wide range of colors, but 14% didn't
I used a white gel-ink-pen on watercolors but it did not change color.
