Niji Stylist Marker Black

I've used this pen for typical writing and note-taking. First of all, I wrote exclusively with the Sharpie fine felt-tip pen for years, but I grew tired of the expense and the annoying graphic on the tube rubbing off in a sweaty writing hand. So I was on the market for a good, new, felt-tip workhorse when I came across this.The immediate benefits:-Very attractive minimalist design. The cap tapers; you can un- and re-cap in one fell swoop. And the clip on the cap is very strong.-You feel good about the price.-All-plastic body, no paint. Very durable.-Smooth line, easy on the wrist.-The cap can be left off for a whole day without drying out.All very exciting. But there are drawbacks:-Just a little less precise than the Sharpie.-It bleeds more too if you don't write quickly.-Worst of all (what prompted me to review the pen)--after the ink has dried and set in the page for about a week, the color degrades from a sharp black to a dingy dark green. Seriously. For those of you who understand, this is a problem. It's harder on the eyes and certainly more off-putting than a nice crisp black. And from the other side of the page, when held up to the light, it's really almost forest green. I'm using a heavy-weight Rhodia pad, not some cheapo wide-ruled filler.The bottom line: you get what you pay for. The pen does its job. It is a pleasure to write with and a pleasure in your breast pocket. The line sharpness is decent, but the ink is of a lower quality. I have trouble understanding some of the graphic designers' positive reviews, given that I've got a couple substantial gripes about its performance as a simple writing pen. But if this is all you plan on using the Stylist for, and if you can see past the vomit-green ink issue, it's certainly worth the 75 cents.

My favprite pen for thirty years.

I love these pens. Write like ink but dry immediately. A thin line not smeary like some ball points.

Do not buy this pen it is not a stylist it is just a magic marker with a fine tip. The ad is misleading and fraudulent. You cannot use it with a touch screen. I cannot believe that Amazon would let them claim this pen as a stylist and then sell it.

Without a Doubt the Best small Tip marker on the Market , I have used them exclusively in Professional Illustrations for decades , and the Best part is you can leave the CAP OFF and they will not dry out ! [ For a Day or two anyways ! ] try that with any other Marker !

My very favorite pen for years! Writes beautifully, fits my small hand perfectly, does not leak. Never care to use any other pen.

A scam! This is ONE pen!

I love using this pen for drawing. The ink dries as fast as you write. I have not had any smears with this pen. I recommend for drawing and writing.
