We've tested A LOT of black pens, so we're confident that these are the BEST ones. Did any of your favorites make our list? Let us know in the comments!
I saw a blog only stabilo 88 and another one among 8 pens, can resist oil maker pens. People use micron for drawing but it said it can't resist for oil makers. So, what is the best pen which can resist for watercolors and oil makers? is always my question. I love stabilo 88 so much, but they don't have another line which can be affected by a hand pressure....
I love the Uni Jetstream and Pentel Energel! I think the Energel should have been on here, it’s super smooth and quick drying! Uni signo is also good. I’m looking to try the Sarasa Mark On with Zebra Mildliner highlighters.
I second Minna's comment... the Mark On works wonderfully with Mildliners. The only other ink that I personally recommend to use with Mildliners for a smudge-free experience is ballpoint ink; any will do.
I'm a Pentel Energel user and it's truly a life saver as left handed. Due to the quick dry ink, I don't leave my classes with the side of my hand of all colors but white lol
*I remember i used to write with friction ink pens, and one day woke UP to find all my notes gone, was shocked but found out it was the Sun that deleted all my notes*
@@dcpoweredI’m pretty sure I did over a decade ago, but it’s just a matter of fact in how the ink works, not really sure why you’d need to test it to believe it.
Was just talking to a colleague today about how much I love the zebra sarasa vintage clip collection, but alas the black isn't as deep as a true black if that is what you are looking for. Everything else about that line is amazing
As funny as it may be to say . . . I feel that it might be too smooth! I mean, is that a thing? I prefer my pens to have a little drag, and my pencils, they should be as smooth as the Uni-Ball Air. If anyone enjoys writing with smooth pens then the Uni-Ball Air is definitely for you.
Yea, I prefer my pens to have a drag, with gel pens I write faster but messier. I’m trying to write nicer in cursive so the Uni-Ball air might be a good choice!
Ever since I got that black pen sampler, I've kind of expanded past frixion pens, at least for normal black text, cause I still use frixion for color coding But I also needed a ballpoint for work, cause I use gel pens for everything else and they're not the best option in an environment with many types of papers. So I just had to start using uni jetstreams xD and since I have pretty bad RA+my weird grip, the gel grips are pretty nice For normal writing in my personal life tho, I love using the energel. Not just for the ink, but I just love their specific clicking sound. It's so thock
I would love to see a comparison of black fountain pen inks. I copied and pasted onto an Excel spreadsheet your ink sheets from each line, but it's hard to compare. I'm looking for the blackest black.
The Pilot Juice Up 0.4-tip wasn’t in the video but I found these to be my favorite pens! They have a perfectly fine tip without feeling scratchy, the ink is smooth, the colors are rich, and there’s no “railroading” when you write with it! A big pack has 10 colors if I’m not mistaken. I got pink, red, orange, green, light blue, royal blue, navy blue, purple, brown, and black in the pack.
The Pilot Multiball pen is AMAZING, I discovered two years ago and I can't stop recommending it to everybody, it's cheap and you can use it on everything.
I loved the theme of the video, thank you for putting the effort to make it! :) I only have a bit of feedback regarding the music. For me, stationery videos are the most enjoyable with softer, relaxing music. You have a few videos like that which I've watched a few times already because they're just so satisfying. However, with this louder, rock music, I didn't get that soothing feeling. It's just a personal preference. Thank you for reading this, have a blessed day!
I had both the Staedtler Triplus and Stabilo Point 88. I really like the Stabilo. One gel pen that didn't make the cut was Pentel Energel. Love all of their colors and love the fact that I can buy refills. I also like the Sharpie S Gel. So grateful to JetPens!!
Don't get me wrong, I adore a black .7 Jetstream, *but*...the Pilot Acroball has been my ride or die for over a decade. Is their ink sometimes inconsistent? Sure. But the smoothness beats out any Jetstream I've tried. Also, blue pens are 😍
The Uni-Ball Signo is my go-to pen for writing. I use all three sizes: 0.38 for text, 0.28 for details, and 0.5 for headings. But I also like the Pilot Juice in .38, the heavier Pilot Juice Up in 0.4 and 0.3, the Sarasa that you reviewed, and the Pentel Slicci in 0.25 (all of which I buy regularly from JetPens. I think you can tell that I am a big fan!) ✍🏼❤
I'm a broad tips writer ! Below O,5 I can't write, I have pain in my fingers, my hand, my arm...So when I don't write with one of my fountain pens, I really love Energel with O.7 and even more (but with less colors) 1.0. When I need a fine tips, I like needle-points like Pilot Hi-Tec-C.
Lol, good thing I already have half of these, or my wallets Spidey senses would be tingling with spending anticipation and for the record, the Zebra Sarasa clip reigns supreme...in my collection anyway.
You guys can make like the best stationary for each pen case. Like the lihit lab pencilcases, in their different sizes, with highliters, pens, markers, rulers, eraesars and stuff. Also, another idea, can be like pencases with different stationary for different majors, school, or just like based in personality. If not so, the same pencase with different stationary, again, depending in personality, majors, school, favorite class or anything. Ps: I LOVE your content guys, your videos are so high quality. Keep it up ❤️❤️❤️
I think my dad has a couple 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm uni ball signos. For some reason they all seem to skip, especially the 0.7 pens. Not sure if he got a bad batch or smth lolll
The Pilot Hi-Tec-C is great, but it goes grey over correction tape. The Pilot Juice Up is almost the same pen, except it stays black over correction tape.
i’m a lefty and literally none of the gels don’t smudge the only one for some reason that works reasonably well for me is the pilot juice in 0.38 idk i write SUPER small (a capital letter is about 1.5mm) as well so i also need one small enough for my writing
I love the handwriting used in these videos, so cute! As for my favorite black pen I've tried in modern times (since gel became mainstream), so far the Pentel Energel in 0.7 is coming out on top.
I would like to see this same video with faster writing (more realistic when taking notes), on different paper type (ie. Hobonichi and others) and under highlighter on the same papers.
Help, what pen will reliably work whether it's 2 months or 2 years old? Must be 1 handed-retractable VS 2 handed, loose, can't find the cap type pen. I'm fed up with dried up pens.>
Hi there! You might like a Uni Jetstream Ballpoint pen: www.jetpens.com/Uni-Jetstream-Ballpoint-Pens/ct/354 We also recommend checking out our video on how to get dry pens to write again: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jXLN0InPdr0.html
Could you guys do a video comparing black (and other colours) fountain pen inks? Like which brand is more water resistant, which is more pigmented or such Loved the video!
Well.. there’s me! Idk, I like the colour blue and it’s sometimes easier to read my writing when using that colour. Black feels a bit too formal at times
My everyday carry is a Uni-Ball eye ultra micro (UB-150-38). A no compromise pen. When it was available (in portugal) the Uni-Ball air micro (UBA-188M) was my preferred pen. Great gliding and writing. Another favourite of mine is the Schneider One Hybrid C 0.5mm. Really interested in trying the Pilot Multi Ball Roller Pen.
my favorite pen may not be as cool as these other ones, but i really loved using Dong-A AnyBall, it doesn't smudge with my highlighters and it makes my note taking more fun, with a cheap price! im sad that my pens ran out of ink tho, i haven't experienced any other pen with the same quality that I love (maybe because I dont have the ones in the video yet HAHA)
Hi! Same! I collected all available tips and like 0.5 the most! I couldn't find any refills tho. But switched to pilot because my work requires to use pencils and i need a multi pen just because I find it a hassle to switch pens from time to time
Frixion has made a splash in the craft world...especially Quilting! The ink reacts beautifully to be pressed away with an iron. BIG caveat: Lines return in the cold. Quilts transported by plane or through the mail/delievery during the winter stand a better chance of ALL the marks returning, essentially marring the work for a show. We have found that a good spritz of water and light scrub will dissolve the residual chemical....but its always best to not mark where the line will show. I have used Uni's for years, but have have come to love Zebra's line!!❤️
Pilot G2 0,7 gel rollerball pen for me. Parker ISO G2 refill on classic ballpoint. Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen (on F and bullet tip, with India/Chinese Ink) is the best felt tip roller-marker for me. And they are very easy to refill and reuse. Check out on RU-vid. Any Edding are good to (and refillable), but they are more chunky.
The only thing that makes the Stabilo fineliner a good choice is it's price. In every other regard there are much better pens. It smudges, it doesn't last long, sometimes it's dry, sometimes it flows a river of ink...in middle school it was good, but either you are an engineer or you'd like to draw, or just write there are much better ones.
STAEDTLER!!! I have the whole big set of triplus fineliners and they served me well in high school when I first used them to now in adulthood for various journaling, writing, and even art things. My ultimate favorite for sure ♡
I went to a school in the 1980s where we had to use an "ink pen" as we called it back then, so basically a fountain pen. Ever since then I have disliked ballpoint pen. Rollerball, gel pens, fineliners and Sharpies are all fine by me but oily spindly ballpoint, I can't stand it! Back in the day when most business correspondence was on paper you would receive gorgeous letters on watermarked laid paper with embossed letterheads and it just seemed so wrong when it was signed with a smear of oily ballpen ink!
