Excellent so far
These pens arrived quickly, tightly packaged together (I did have to use a craft knife to remove them from the shrink wrap). I've only used one of the pens so far, but it works very well. The ink is the brightest white I've ever seen come from a pen, even on black paper, it's almost as white as white heat embossing. As the "broad" word implies, it writes with a medium to bold line, so I prefer to use it for drawing lines, shapes, tracing, or anything that requires a bolder stroke. For handwriting, I prefer the Sakura Gelly Roll White, which is not as bright white, but has a finer tip. A suggestion: gel pens in general can be tricky, over the years I've had so many that just stop writing with plenty of ink left. What seems to be working for me is to wipe the tips before and after using them, and storing them HORIZONTALLY. I have a dedicated pencil case just for gel pens. It seems to be working. This pen looks like it's high quality so far. I'll update this review if anything changes.
