all of the bad reviews say stuff about the pens leaking, even though there are like 30x better reviews, I'm now worried if I order them they wont work

We've bought about 20 of these in the last couple years and have had about half start leaking ink from the barrel. We live at 5,000' above sea level and we're pretty sure this is the reason. They appear to leak faster when taken up and down from our altitude. Looking for another pen of the same quality that can handle the slight change in pressure. We do love these pens but they don't seem to be well made enough to deal with the pressure.

can i paint over my pigma micron black illustration, to fill in some areas. They already seemed to smear a bit .

Hi, I have this set and I just did a bleed test for mine. I work mainly with watercolors. I tested on Strathmore Cold Press 140 lb paper with a wait time of 5 minutes between inking the sample and painting. I had no bleeding at all even with two heavy wet coats of paint. I hope this this helps :)

Can these pens write on plastic? I want to mark pips on minature dice.

Microns are designed to write on paper only, although some crafters do use them on other surfaces, based on their personal testing and use. A better choice for the dice might bethe Sakura Identipen or Microperm pens, which have ink that is designed to work on non-porous surfaces.

Do they come in different sizes?

I don't want assorted sizes. Need only .10 size. Available?
