Triplus Fineliner 0.3mm - Pack of Six (3 Red & 3 Blue)

I used to be obsessed with these pens. They write well, and because they are triangular, they don't roll. At the time I was obsessed, they were kind of pricey, though. I have since become obsessed with Frixxion and how they erase easily but still work for a lefty and InkJoy--and of course, always Flair. But I loved these when I was using them.

Very fine point. It writes so smooth. Very quick delivery.

Smooth perfection. I use them for Zentangle

Just found these recently. I typically write with a Monteverde fountain pen, but when I'm not, I'm using one of these.OVERALL: Deep well, even flow, make very very fine marks on paper (larger than a well made drafting pencil and very close to 0.1mm, but without the bleeding issues). Does well upside down for quick jotting. No real frills, though I have found the clip being nearly flush with the top of the cap keeps it stay put when clipped to bag/shirt/pad/etc.GRIP: Lightweight and the rounded triangle grip was a bit concerning at first but I've become fond of it - to my experience it keeps my hand high enough up on the pen that my writing can be very precise, but not so much that my fingers wind up on the page smearing everything or obscuring my view of the page. Moreover, if I need to scramble for one in a bag or satchel, the grip makes it instantly recognizable.INK: vibrant blue (as some blues resemble black...I hate that) and red. Easy to read.VERSUS COMPARABLE PENS/MARKERS: Won't bleed like an ultra-fine Sharpie on more porous papers; will write most places that other markers (Royal Langnickel 0.1mm / 0.5mm) or felt-tips won't. Idyllic mix of an ultra-fine Sharpie's write all/most places with high quality felt's accuracy. Though it lacks erasability, I'm chunking my Pilot Frixxions for these as well as (and to the same point) using the fountain pen less.CRITICISM: Nothing of real substance to put here, though it won't write on high gloss surfaces like a ultra-fine Sharpie (or prismacolor), but will certainly write in places that ball, ink/gel, felt-tip pens will go.VERDICT: Best practical day-to-day writing instrument where a pencil is inappropriate and precision is a must. If your penmanship is more like an architect than a doctor, $9 for a six pack would be a steal of a deal at twice the price (NOTE: these come in a polypropylene sleeve - NOT the hard plastic snap packs the retail 4 packs come in). Highest marks, highest recommendation.

For anyone that likes a very fine tip marker, this is the pin for you. I use it as an ink pen because it writes that well. It’s smoothly glides across paper. The octagon barrel is slightly smaller than the size of a round barrel pen and makes grasping it a unique feel. I use it at work to record medical record numbers and often forget to put the cap back on. I have noticed that it does not dry up as quickly as a marker nor does it bleed through the paper. With a light touch to the paper the ink goes on like silk and makes writing very pleasurable.

I bought these pens for note-taking and journaling. They are awesome! They do not bleed through paper, and the ink flows evenly when writing. The pen does not smudge and dries fairly quickly. However, a highlighter WILL smudge the ink if you try and highlight within a couple of minutes of writing. I tried it twice, first time was right after writing and the second time was about 5min later (See photo that says "highlighter friendly"). The good news, if you WAIT A DAY and highlight your notes, there is little to no smudging (See photo of chemistry notes). I also tested a pink Zebra Midliner marker over the same notes, and was happy to not see any smudging as well (See photo of chemistry notes). The yellow highlighter used in the photos was BIC bright liner, and the pink was the Zebra marker.

I use these a lot for classes. I like the defined lines of felt tip but always hated how long some take to dry on the paper, these dry on the paper very quickly and don't smear. It has a triangle shape and is very nice to hold. It is about the size and thickness (maybe slightly thinner) of a #2 pencil. It comes in both blue and black.I love using these to draw diagrams or write notes as the text and shapes are very clearly defined and easy for me to see where as pencil looks grayish and is harder to see.

Order was perfect, just what I needed. Came with 5 pens sealed in original packaging, and 1extra. I tried them all, and were the same Staedtler quality I love. The only brand I will buy. I have used these for years every day in my planner and scrapbooking. They write extra fine. I was very pleased to find the black to replenish my multicolor pack.
