Customer Reviews

I just got it about a week ago, and I'm a comic artist, and this pen is the best pen for outlining. I recommend this pen in any size (what ever fits you) if your a artist.

I would recommend buying refills for the nib and the ink, just in case :D

One of my favorite pens. I defiantly recommend this pen for anyone one who is a cartoonist, manga artist, or designer! This width is rather large so you might want to do some research on pen sizes but the built quality on this pen is amazing!
Buy one!

These pens are some of the few that you can actually see the difference in the sizes. The nib is hard and durable and the ink is very black. To refill them is a snap with no messy ink all over your hands. Just pop out the old and pop in the new. You can even change nibs when you think yours is getting mushy. Be prepared, it takes awhile to wear one down. All around they're great for writing, filling in space, zentangles, drawing and your occasional doodle. N from Baltimore

Not loving this pen and unsure if I would buy again. Cap on both my Copic Multiliners posts very loosely and I'm afraid I will lose it. Brush is too flexible for my tastes and has started to fray much sooner that I would have liked. On the good side, I like the ink color and how well it flows.

These are great pens. I like the modular design, which lets you replace the ink cartridge and tip as needed. Of course, they are not very cost effective. You can buy a similar pigment ink pen for the cost of buying a refill for one of these. I doubt, however, it will be of the same quality or write at well.

Great pen. But if you draw manga, you should have the dip pens (g pen, school pen, maru pen and etc), because this pen isnt going to substitute them. But this pen is really good. It deserves 5 stars.

Good solid brush pen. The ink is a little lighter that the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen - Twin Tip - Gray & Black Ink, but it is plenty dark if you don't compare them. I haven't refilled this pen yet but so far it is holding up quite nicely. It has good line variance and the tip is still sharp after several drawings.

GREAT BRUSH PEN

I love this brush tip pen. I have used mine for a couple months now with NO FRAYING. It delivers clean lines, works great with my Copic Markers and reacts appropriately to light and medium pressure (lighter thinner lines and then a bit thicker and heavier lines). I do not know what kind of pressure previous reviewers were putting on this product... I can only think that they had very heavy hands. I like this so much that I would like one in every color.

Great pen! It writes really thin and does have a bit lighter shade than your typical black ink. A word of advise: be very careful when replacing the tip or the ink cartridge because you might bend the inner part of tip and cause the ink flow to become scratchy, also do not apply to much pressure to the tip as it cause it to go inside the shaft. Overall this pen is great. I was able to draw a handful of drawings in my 2.5 x 4 in sketchbook with this pen.

Top quality black-archival-ink pen with a top notch tip and aluminum body. Once you have tried it, you will never go back to other pens.

I loved this pen...until the nib fanned out. I hadn't used it for more than 2 days. Do NOT put a lot of pressure on it. I was so angry since it was working so smoothly until I used the slightest pit of pressure and the nib just died on me. Ugh there went my 9 dollars.

I'm really surprised that a review hasn't been written for this pen. This has become my default all-purpose writing instrument which, if you knew me, is saying a lot. There are very few writing instruments that exist today that I don't own, haven't tested or couldn't evaluate just on the specifications alone. I typically carry on my person or in my bag: (2-3) 0.7 mm Pencils, (1) 0.5 mm pencil, (1) 2mm pencil, (2) Rollerballs, (2) Fountain pens, (1) Ballpoint and (1) Fiber tipped pen - and this is when I am carrying light. I use everything from my Pelikan M805 to Pentel Mechanical pencils. I find the Copic 0.5 mm Multiliner to be smooth writing, writes on anything (even a credit card signature line), non fade, quick drying and so far extremely resilient given it's fiber tip. I've used it for 6+ months and either carry this or my Pelikan M805 for regular carry.

It's a nice pen... IF you don't mind having to replace the brush nib after 1 or 2 drawings.

When I'd first found this pen, I was so excited. It feels substantial and weighty, and the fact that I could refill it and not just throw it away & replace it when it dried up drew me in. But the brush tip frays worse than almost ANY other brush pen I've tried before. Plus, it's extremely soft and was hard for me to control (though some may like that).

Honestly, if you're looking at the multiliners I'd go with the set sized ones before going with the brush. And if you REALLY want a good brush, I prefer Uniball's pocket brush pens. They blow this one out of the water. Now if only THOSE were refillable...

I bought this brush pen after I saw my friend hype it up after she got it on facebook. She showed illustrations of what she drew with it and she thought that the pen was a great deal. After using the brushpen the "brush" ( a nib ) frayed rather quickly. It was very disappointing. They sell new nibs, but my advice is to spend your money on a higher quality brushpen. The next time I saw my friend she was also bummed by the short life-span this brushpen delivers. This isn't a winner... You deserve better!

This is my first Copic pen I ever bought. It's ultra fine, durable and most important it has replaceable nib and cartridge which makes the price reasonable. I'm using it for design sketches and it works marvelous. One important thing about it is that you have to use good quality paper. Great quality pen

Maybe I got a faulty pen, but this does not work at all! It's really scratchy and does not give me a consistent ink flow. I was really excited about this pen and finally decided to spend the 6.75, which is pretty steep for one pen in my opinion, and was really dissatisfied... I wish I would have just stuck with my Microns.

Like the thinness of this pencil, and it is very consistant. Elagant design. The reason it did not receive a 5 is because I feel as though the 0.03mm version somehow has lighter, and less visible ink. If it was a little bit darker, I would have given it a 5, but, I encourage whoever reads this to get this pen.

I am in love! This is a perfect pen, in my opinion. I love the consistency. I do agree that the ink could be a little more black black, though.

Positive points:
-good brush that produces semi brush like strokes if used correctly
-nice metal finish (scratches look utterly ugly on it, though)
-seperately replacable nib and cardridge. If the cardridge is empty, you do not need to replace a working nib. Nice idea!
-copic resistant. You can go over the ink several times without bleeding them out.

Negative points:
-the ink is rather dark brown-ish than black, but it could also be a general problem of fine liners

This pen is great for inking bigger areas since the fine tip of the brush is precise enough to draw near outlines and when hold in a small angle to the paper, this pen can cover huge areas quickly.

I have bought this pen a long time ago from another site and I am quite happy with it. The nib produces a very thin line as advertised by copic and I love to use it for fine details.

Positive points:
-extra fine nib
-nice metal finish (scratches look utterly ugly on it, though)
-seperately replacable nib and cardridge. If the cardridge is empty, you do not need to replace a working nib. Nice idea!
-copic resistant. You can go over the ink several times without bleeding them out.

Negative points:
-the ink is rather dark brown-ish than black, but it could also be a general problem of fine liners
-sometimes, problems occur when you replace the nib or cardridge. The fine fiber extension of the nib that reaches into the foamy substance of the cardridge tends to bend so that ink flow is not always optimal and sometimes you even have to replace a completely defective nib because of that

All in all, the multiliner is a good inking pen that also suits technical requirements like template work due to the long tubular tip. I would have given it 5/5 if the ink was a little bit darker.
