  Very pretty emerald green..., July 19, 2010

Very pretty emerald green ink just like the barrel. Writes very smooth with no leaks or skips. Erases perfectly and the top of the cap is the eraser so you don't have to move it to erase once you're writing. Love these pens.

Pros - the colour is so pretty! The ink is smooth, easy to write with and does not stain the page. The pen is comfotable enough and quite attractive.

Cons - while the ink is ersable the way the 'eraser' is designed is not as good as it could be. The cap is the eraser and it does not do as good of a job as the frixion erasers, it is quite hard and will ruin thinner paper. However, if you use a frixion eraser on the fanthom ink it works a treat! The ink itself is a little thin and gives the impression that it is running out, similar to the early frixion pens.

Overall - I like this pen. It is the only one of this brand I have tried so I cannot compare the brand overall, however, this pen has made it into my regulars with the frixions. I do prefer the frixion series because the eraser works better and I love side-knock (no caps to loose) and the ink has become more pigmented. If the next generation fanthom had a better eraser, no cap and more pigment (without leaving a stain) I would def be buying more colours.
