Uni Live Pigment Sign Pen - Fine - Black

This pen is excellent! I'm a designer and was looking for a bolder pen for rapid sketching and writing neatly on stickies. I wouldn't call it a "fine" line though; it makes a line that's just a bit thinner than a Sharpie's. But unlike a Sharpie, it doesn't bleed through paper and it doesn't smell like you're going to get high from using it!

I use it on the Mnemosyne notebooks, which are in-between matte and glossy, and I don't have any of the issues described by the other reviewer.

I'm looking forward to trying their "very fine" version of the pen and seeing if it's equally useful.

For the most part, I like the appearance of this pen. Shiny gold and charcoal black always make a great pair. What I don't This pen makes a rich, dark line, but it's not what I would consider a "fine" line. It's more of a medium width to my eyes. Also, it doesn't mark on glossy or even semi-glossy surfaces without smearing all over the place. I assumed that this pen would work well on many surfaces because its called the "pigment sign pen," but really, it probably shouldn't be used to sign yearbooks and stuff.

This may be my new favorite. For years, I used the PMOP 860 (AKA original Flair), and was quite unhappy when they were discontinued in the US - I even went as far as ordering them from Europe. I have tried every "similar" felt tip I can find to replace my old favorite, and this pen is the closest I've found as far as the nib and the feel of it, plus the barrel design is actually a bit better. I've already asked my office manager to order these in bulk for us.
