The Uni Eye UB-185S is a liquid ink rollerball from one of the key players in the market. available with black, red, blue or green ink, I am using a green one & although the needle tip is finer than I would normally use I have been pleased with its performance whilst catching up with some overdue correspondence.
Pen Reviews
Sharpie Professional Marker – Review
Since turning their focus to markers 50 years ago Sharpie have produced markers for a range of uses. The Sharpie Professional is a permanent marker that apparently lasts 50% longer than standard Sharpies.
I have a Sharpie Professional Marker in black. The grey plastic barrel has yellow rubberised inserts which make for a non slip grip & the oval shaped design of the cap & barrel mean they won’t roll of working surfaces. There are 3 small raised squares positioned either side of the cap. These are in line with the yellow rubber section & make it easy to remove the cap if wearing gloves.
Pilot Fineliner Pen SW-PPF – Review
Fineliners are generally used for drawing & sketching, some people prefer them for writing & they are also ideal when working with rulers & templates.
Uni POSCA PC-5M Marker Medium Bullet Tip Review
Uni-ball have been creating a wide range of products for over a century. The POSCA range offer something for everyone when it comes to Arts & Crafts, from the full blown artist to the occasional hobbyist. The POSCA PC-5M Marker has a medium bullet tip that will produce a 2.5mm line.
Zebra Z Grip Max Gel Pen – Review
Although gel pens are fairly recent as a product of the ’80s, they have become very popular. I usually expect them to make a bold & vibrant statement due to the viscosity of the ink.
The Zebra Z-Grip Max Gel Pen is retractable with a 0.7mm tip. They are available in 5 colours, for this review I’m using violet. The plastic barrel matches the ink, it is joined to a nice chunky rubberised grip with a shiny chrome coloured ring. The pocket clip & nib housing has the same metal finish.
