uni-ball89920000 Posca Ultra Fine Bullet Tip Marker - Silver

I'm going to compare this Posca marker to their Uni Posca marker fine liner (with a bullet tip) to this product (the "pin type", as the barrel states), simply because I want a point of reference.First of all, both markers are 0.7mm tips. Both products also weigh the same; which makes it likely that both have the same amount of ink in them, although I cannot state that for sure - neither product state how many milliliter of ink there is in each pen.Now, at this point you might ask, quite justifiably, "why bother buying both, if one can suffice?". And you'd be partially right with your assumption; however, why bother selling two different products if they're so seemingly the same?The answer lies in the two key differences between the pens: the type of tip, and the form of their barrel.Now, despite the aforementioned similarity in millimeters regarding the tip, the type of tip does have an impact on line width, and by comparison the "pin tip" is much better at creating thin lines. Although the bullet tip is not bad for small work by any means, this product does make it noticeably easier to manage. However, bigger areas are a little harder to manage, or at least a little more frustrating, whereas the bullet tip makes it a bit less so. Manageability is really the key difference; if you have a smaller sketch book (like in an A5 or A6 size), or just simply like finer details in white, I would say go with this product.The other difference, the size of the barrel, is the one people might be more interested in.The bullet tip marker has a noticeably chunkier barrel; the size of a Letraset/Winsor&Newton promarker, maybe a little thinner, whereas this product has a longer, thinner barrel about the circumference of a pencil (maybe a little bigger). People who have limited space in their pencil case, or just prefer thinner barrels, will appreciate this marker a bit more than the bullet tip one.Overall, this pen is solid. It is good for fine work, it has a nice barrel, and it is a good value for money. Also, as a quick tip, the ink will most likely not immediately flow out when it arrives - you need to press the tip down on a surface a few times to pump the ink out. In case it appears to have dried out, try pumping a few times; if that still doesn't do the trick, try leaving it on it's head (the tip pointing towards the ground) overnight, so that you get more longevity out of it.Bye!

I used this in n gauge model railways for drawing tiny thin lines along the sides of coaches and locos instead of the waterslide transfers which would have cost me about 5 times the price of this pen. It was even easier to use (with a steel or plastic ruler) than the transfers would have bee. No runs, no splurts, just a consistent a very fine drawing line with a vibrant colour. Highly recommended especially to railway modellers.

I got it to label some small metal hand tools where Sharpie ink just rubs off. So far, its perfect: no smudging or rubbing off. Seems to be unaffected by the odd bit of oil or grease. Also works well on shiny/slippery polyethylene film where Sharpies and other permanent markers don't always write well.Plus, it is really easy to write with. Somehow, the ink flow is just right. It doesn't gloop or blob, nor does the line get dry or patchy.I know these pens have a cult following. I'm starting to see why.

Review for the Ultra Fine white tip. Ordered 20th October 2020, arrived a couple of days later and worked perfectly that day to mark some anodised plates I was working with. Now the 10th December 2020, stored with cap on all this time, and the tip is blocked solid. No amount of shaking or compressing of the tip can dislodge it. I ended up breaking the pen open and using the liquid like you would a quill and ink pot. And then it went in the bin. Back to bottles of liquid paper for me.

I accidentally bought the wrong size previous but loved the quality so much I wanted to get this thinner one, works very well but make note to keep the pen lid down so that the flow will remain easy, never had a problem with these pens with that knowledge.

I'm absolutely delighted with this pen (and I bought the 3M size too) I have been using it to draw on stones, rocks and pieces of slate and wow I've produced some lovely art. I wasn't sure if it was waterproof so I have left some of my artwork outdoors for a few days in the rain and sun and they look great still.The ink goes on and on and on ... I bought some more because I didn't want them to run out but I'm still using the same pen, it hasn't run out yet.This brand of paint pen is definitelt the BEST I've used. It dries quite quickly and although I wish there was a finer version, I'm not complaining because I feel I have found what is close to the perfect painting pen. A real bargain considering how much paint is loaded into it.You do have to shake it and stamp it a lot before it starts flowing.Great seller too, dispatched very quickly.

Wanted to use this pen for permanently writing some tech info on articles. Worked for the first use, but not after that. The gold "ink" stopped flowing after the first use, even after upending overnight, & pumping the tip only caused big blotches on the paper. I have a white one & it is fine but the gold one is useless. A very expensive item in view of it only writing a dozen words.

I absolutely love these pens but, I don't like how quickly they 1) dry out and 2) just do not last. I'm an artist and I use them for highlighting on my canvases. I opened two yesterday and today they've had to go in the bin. In less than a month I've used TEN of these. As much as I love working with them, I'm sad to say that I need to look for a much better quality that will last longer than a day. 😔
