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

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.

I like Microns and used them a lot, but I decided to try these ones and have now replaced my Microns for writing and drawing. My most used ones are the 005, and the Pigment Liners definitely feel less scratchy at that size. The tips might also be more durable, but maybe I just wasn't gentle enough with the Microns before I knew better. Drying time seems about the same, but what I really appreciate is that they smear less than Microns when highlighted. Under my specific conditions anyway (Kokuyo Campus Loose Leaf paper; Zig Clean Color Dot pens to highlight). The Microns would smear and get their ink on my dot pens even if I highlighted them days after writing.

Alright, now these were literally just delivered about 20 minutes ago. However, I've been waiting so long to get a chance to try them out, I had to go ahead and test them.First thing I noticed immediately is the outside of the pens have an amazing texture to them and I love it. Very nice. After I swatched every pen, I have to admit that I am so very impressed!! I literally cannot believe how incredibly smooth they feel when you use them!!! I have never experienced any kind of pen that delivers that level of smooth writing ever! No skipping, no dragging - nothing but exceptional performance.The cardboard thing they come in says on the back that they are able to stay out without the cap on for around 12 hours, and that is amazing. Obviously, I seriously doubt that I will ever try that out to see, but still thought I would mention it.I do a lot of zentangle and abstract fineliner art and, believe it or not, I actually tend to use the bolder pens most. So I'm always looking for a great set that includes some of the bolder nibs on them. This set has 4 of those, one of which is the biggest I've seen on these kind of pens - a 1.2mm. Never thought I would say something like this, but I am 100% in love with this set of pens!! Now, obviously since I just got them, I can't speak as to just how long they will last, but I will try to remember to update this a month from now and let you know how they are doing.All in all, I'm so very impressed with these, it's crazy. I've purchased about 7 different brands of fineliner pens on here and while the majority of them perform practically the same, I've only used one brand that has really stood out and I've purchased more than once (Ohuhu). But after these, I have to say, I do believe that these are a lot better than those. Especially when it comes to just how smooth they perform. Definitely recommend them!

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

I recently bought these fine-point pens to use for creating graphs, and I've found them to be exceptionally handy, especially when working with rulers to draw straight lines. The precision they offer is truly impressive, allowing for meticulous detail in my work. However, I have observed that the ink tends to wear off rather quickly during prolonged use. To ensure the ink continues to flow smoothly, I've discovered that capping the pens and letting them sit for a short while can help restore their boldness. While this is a slight inconvenience, it doesn't significantly detract from the overall quality. Overall, these pens provide an excellent writing experience, and their fine point is perfect for anyone seeking accuracy and clarity in their drawings and notes.

These are super high-quality pigment liner pens. They have a great feel and have the backing of German quality control. I always keep a few handy. But... they are not quite as smooth as a Micron 05 .45mm pen. Close. Very close.Still, a five star product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I feel that the .1 mm are similar to the Pigma Micron 005 but still feel a bit heavier. I won't be using them in my Bible margins, but they are working just great for Scripture writing, which was their intended purpose.
