STAEDTLERPigment Liner Pack, Black, 6 Pens, Assorted Line Widths, 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm

SOME OF THE BEST LINERS OUT THERE. This go up to all standards they are very nicely pigmented. They have some very nice grip to it. They last very long and don’t dry quickly at all. Many of the liners I’ve used dry very quickly but these have never dried well. Their size is perfect for carry on. Their overall functionality is just amazing

OK. I’m a professional illustrator and these are great quality professional pigment pens. Good solid black and lots of line widths to pull just what I need. Cheaper as a set on Amazon than buying individually at the art store. A lot of comic artists use them. I draw and moments later they’re dry and I can erase without blurring lines. I don’t draw “heavy” so in my use the tips hold up.

Shipped safely and all pens were perfect. I had no dried out ones thankfully which tends to happen a lot when I order on Amazon.I’m a multimedia illustrator, with most of my work being manga and anime related so fineliner pens are obviously a must have. I can’t recommend these pens enough. I used to use microns but I will seriously never go back. The quality of the nib, the ink flow and pigment, and the size range are worlds above most fineliner pens I’ve tried. Not to mention how much more affordable these are.I have accidentally left one open for a day or two and I can say for sure these do not dry out when left open. It worked the same as when I got it.

Just what I was looking for. The write and draw smooth. The ink cries quickly and does not smear.

Beautiful pensQuality for decadesBuy these they great

I’m picky about pens. Not that I do anything professionally with pens, I just like to write, and so I’ve always considered myself something of a pen freak. I don’t know enough about pens to give solid recommendations on what to get and what not to get, but after using these Staedtler pigment ink pens I can surely say they are the best fine-nib pigment pens I’ve ever used.Naturally the comparison will land against the Pigma Microns. I’ve written with both of these pens quite a bit now across a variety of uses. After this experience, I have to say the Staedtler pens just feel better. The Pigmas have a scratchiness to them that is hard to describe. It’s almost as if the nibs “bite” the page. These Staedtlers do not bite at all, even the 0.1 nibs. Personally, I’ve found the 0.2 nibs to be perfect for most of my uses.I highly recommend these if you’re on the fence about the Pigmas versus the Staedtlers. Both are good, but these have a quality to the writing experience that feels more fulfilling.

These are great pens for sketching. They dry quickly and I haven’t experienced any bleeding. I love using brown ink for my sketches and often use watercolor over the top. Nice and waterproof so go for it. Nice neutral brown. Good value

I love Staedtler liners and prefer them to the more hobbyist-standard Micron pens or the more scratchy and difficult to control tech-style pens. The ink takes a moment to dry so be careful not to smudge, though I find these smudge less than other pens. The larger sizes do put out a higher volume of ink and therefore take longer to dry. I like to use these with alcohol-based markers for a tidy, graphic look, but they also work quite well with watercolor. I'd advise against trying to use them *over* colored pencil or wax pastels or crayons as the wax in these tools can make it difficult for the ink to stick and it ends up smearing or just not coming out properly. The wax can also clog the tips, so just generally I do not recommend that combination. They don't work super well for going *under* wax tools, either, as the wax-based color tends to obscure the lines. It depends on what look you want though. They are, however, especially with the varied sizes in this pack, great for ink work on its own, provided you take care not to rub your hand over the area you just drew on immediately afterward, and give them a few minutes before running an eraser over them (erasers tend to smear long after your hand does not) if you have a pencil sketch underneath. You can achieve interesting effects by smearing larger areas of ink with your finger intentionally, though your fingers will get quite dirty... one of the only downsides of these, that they tend to leave you with a lot of black on your hands even if you don't smear them at all. The danger of any art is, of course, getting dirty.. or maybe it's a benefit.These are my favorite pens to ink with, and I've never had any package arrive with the pens dried out (unlike other pen brands I could name). You can get them in any decent art store but they are, of course, much cheaper on Amazon, and if you have Prime can be obtained nearly as quickly as a drive to your local Michael's. I will always recommend these to any artist regardless of their level of experience.
