I love these pens, I just don't like the gold very much. It's not as bright of a gold as I was hoping for.

Great pens but would like to have these in more colors, especially brown.

PLEASE RESTOCK
these are soooooooo smooth!!

Honestly this is a really, really fabulous pen for whiting out areas in need of correction. I've tested at least three other gel pens against it and in order of similarity, some either held up well or just did not match the opacity and flow of this pen.

http://www.jetpens.com/Sakura-Gelly-Roll-Regular-Gel-Ink-Pen-0.4-mm-White/pd /531 Held up marvelously in terms of opacity and flow and to be so cheap I was really surprised by how well it worked in compare to the Uni-ball. The Uni-ball is fantastic if you have to spot correct a semi largish area but the broadness of the pen tip makes it harder if you do very fine spots so the 0.4mm of the Sakura is a good twin to the 0.8mm of the Uni-ball.

http://www.jetpens.com/Pentel-Hybrid-Gel-Grip-Gel-Ink-Pen-0.8-mm-White/pd/50 0 this one was just not as great as I had imagined it would be. For the cost which is close to the Uni-ball Signo Broad, I really did expect for this pen to be just as opaque but the ink was actually rather thin over the pens and I tested this against a variety of inks. It just did not do as well as the Uni-ball and Sakura.

http://www.jetpens.com/Pentel-Sunburst-Metallic-Gel-Ink-Pen-0.7-mm-Silver/pd /1309 Using the silver as a kind of aid for anyone considering on buying the Pentel Sunburst Gel Ink Pen in White should JetPens ever bring it in stock. Still medium tip and much like the Hybrid, it was just not as thick as it could have been. Repeated layering doesn't seem to be a huge problem but I like being able to put down a coat of white from the onset.

In summation, if you draw, stick with the Sakura or the Uni-ball. Pentel is a great pen company but they just need to thick up their white or make it more opaque.

This link shows my test and the pens I tested these four against.

I am a cancer screening lab tech who uses these pens to mark abnormal cells on glass microscope slides. My profession has been looking for a white pen that writes well on glass and fits under the objective lens of the microscope for thirty years. Finally! A pen that does the job. These are great! They mark precisely where we want and flow well. The lines show up nicely on the background of the black microscope stage. Don't ever stop making these or I'll have to retire...

I loved this pen! it didn't skip and its great for touch up on drawings and manga!
*recomend this to any manga drawers*

I'm kind of disappointed with these because I can't use them for what I really wanted them for, and I bought 2 :\

The white that comes out is a thick white, but the width of the line that the pen makes is too thick for the kind of detailing I wanted to do.
Also, there is a peak/ball wherever you lift up the pen. For the most part it settles down. It's not a huge deal, especially if you're just using them for writing, but you see the little dot at the end of a line... I'm a little picky because I'm using them for artwork.

It just depends how picky you are if this would matter to you or not ^_^;

If I had bought these in a retail store, I probably would end up returning at least one of them to get something else, since I think it will take awhile to use up just one for what else I can find to use them for on artwork.
I wanted them for a fast and more convenient way of making line details, but they can at least be used for a quicker way of doing dot detailing ( quicker than my dip pen and white ink )

So, that is just my opinion based on what I was looking to use them for.
It's not a very expensive item, so if you're looking for a nice thick white ink, I'd recommend trying one ( but only if you're already buying over $25.00 worth of items to get the free shipping :)

I just received mine. Best white gel pen yet that I have tried! Super white, non transparent, writes well on all paper surfaces I've tried. I ordered 5 of them and very happy!!!

For some reason white is a hard color for most gel pens to get right, but Uniball is the best I've tried (and I've tried a LOT). It's smooth and bold, and doesn't have have the "I'm acting like I'm dry even though it's clear I'm full of ink" issue a lot of gel pens seem to have. If you're looking for an excellent white pen, this is it!!

Nice and bold! Sort of a burnt orange color, yet still bright (not dark burnt). Smudges a bit until dry (just takes moments, but smudges immediately after writing). Very nice and thick nib. Flows smooth like butter!

I LOVE this pen. I got the blue/black, the orange, and the white,and like them so much I'm coming back for the rest of the colors. Nice thick inky line, but not smeary. Beautifully opaque. NO skipping. Recommended :-)

I love this pen!! It writes smoothly and is archivally safe. If you write slowly, the ink can leave a raised/embossed look. It covers great for small fixes when scrapbooking and crafting. They used to sell it by the box and I should have bought that since everyone who tries my pen takes it! I'm now without one and need to order a bunch more. I would consider this a medium point; if you need something smaller try the UM 151.

I picked one of these up the other day and it is FANTASTIC. One of the smoothest pens I've ever used. Highly recommend.

Really like this pen. Ink color distinctive. If I write slowly looks great (if I go at scribble speed, handwriting falls apart )
So pen functions as zen device to keep me slow. Also looks better than American versions available at Amazon.

If not THE absolute best, certainly one of the very best in my book! I have tried many of the white gel pens in a search for the best one that I like the most. This one is superbly brighter white... with practically zero transparency. Uni-ball has certainly gotten this one right... a sure winner! The pen glides effortlessly and very smoothly across the page as if it was on glass. Leaves a nice wet and definitely broad/bold line. Drys quickly. If I absolutely had to choose some sort of negative about this pen, it would be that they don't last quite as long as I would prefer. They tend to run out of gel a little earlier than your normal, everyday gel pen. I am guessing, but it is probably due to the gel itself being a little thicker in order to exhibit the smoothness & and boldness it has... well worth the trade-off.

I am simply enamored with this model pen! In fact I was so thrilled with the performance of this white version, I ordered several of each of the other colors of the UM-153 and now use them for everything! The gold and silver are incredible on a black background also! I even use them at work now, also. I use the Blue/Black one as my favorite signature pen. At just $2.50 a piece, one can afford to pick up a stockpile of them. Thanks Uni-ball and JetPens!

The best white ink gel pen I have ever used! I never thought I would find another white gel pen ever again. You certainly can't buy these things from your local office supply store. Thank god for Jet Pens! I thought I was going to have to start using another medium for my crafting. The ink is smooth and totally opaque. You can mix it with other colors to get the desired effect. Jet Pens has me as a customer for life!

Great for adding highlights and details to your drawings! The white ink is pretty opaque and even comes out on top of black surfaces or ink. It's not really meant for filling large spaces since the ink doesnt always smooth out and look uniform. The best use for this pen is to add small details to your finished drawings to make them pop.

Absolutely love this pen and the color. In fact I'm ordering backups now. Very smooth flow, beautiful almost burnt orange color which is fabulous! Thanks for the great pen and the even better price.

This has quickly become my go-to pen for writing in my art journal because it will write over any surface without clogging and getting ruined. I use a lot of paint, magazine images, gel mediums, and it writes over everything with no problems. I loved this pen some much in white that I had to try other colors... black is now my go-to, but definitely check out the white, too! LOVE these pens. I quickly used up my first one and have since ordered 3 more.

It's one of the best silver pens I own. I really like this pen. It's bold and writes very well on black as you can see in the picture above. It works well for my projects and art assignments and it's not a pen you see often when you go to school.(: soo struttt your pens!

This is the best test-marking pen ever made. Even when my students write their test in red, this pen is bold enough to stand out. I'd buy these in boxes of 10! There is one minor concern though: A 1mm line means you'll run out of ink FAST. Marking 90 tests uses just under half the ink, which is equivalent to writing about 30 pages.

Epic!

Received my first order of Signo white ink gel pens from JetPens a week ago.
They are excellent! They are comfortable to use, and the ink flow is smooth and
bright white. I am back for more!

Very nice silver pen. Flow is wonderful, the ink is truely silver! I want gold too! do you guys know if they make this in a finer point?? i bet they could if they want to

Best gel epn out there! Writes very smooth without skipping. White ink is opaque. Works great when I need to highlight certain features in my fashion illustrations.....especially the effect of glitter and sequins. Love it!
