Sakura 38369 10-Piece Blister Card Glaze 3-Dimensional Glossy Ink Pen Set, Assorted Color

Always have been happy with Sakura Products..😁

Great pens, deep colours used them for colouring, really meant for mall details not large scale pictures. Do not last for long unlike the jelly roll pens. Not sure if I would purchase them again due to them not having a long life span.

Ich schreibe sehr viel und nutze diese Stifte v.a. um Fotoalben oder Karten (Handlettering) zu gestalten. Sie haben einen 3-D-Effekt und das Ergebnis sieht toll aus. Habe mir weitere Stifte von Sakura gekauft, da ich so begeistert davon bin.

These are really meant to be "craft" pens. They're not meant to write checks or fill out forms with ...BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I USE THEM FOR! LOL Okay this is pretty much a petty thing.....but I'm really really particular about pens. It's lame, I know, but I can't help it. If they don't "feel" right when you run them across paper, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.....I just can't write with it anymore... I love these pens so much I literally have a SHOE BOX FULL. It's like writing with butter! The pen just glides along the paper leaving a beautifully stained mark of its presence behind. The gel ink flows out onto your paper evenly, and it saturates whatever your using it for with vibrant color. They are really striking on dark paper, (black, brown, blue, etc.) but they are striking on white paper as well. As far as "tip" goes...I'm not a "fine tip" kind of gal. I want to feel the words coming onto the paper...not etch them on....so I go with the medium, but even "fine" is not too fine ;) They don't dry out easily either.You can leave the cap off for hours and still won't come back to a dried out tip. And they don't have those periods where all of the sudden the ink just stops flowing. I wish the ink lasted longer. I run mine down to empty faster than I'd like to. Speaking of colors, there are quite a lot, but my favorite "set" is the Moonlight set. The glittery pens are sparkly....they just naw at that psycho irritation thing I have for pens that scratch the surface of whatever you're writing...so the glitter ones aren't for me even though they go on just as smoothly and my aversion to them is completely in my head ;) They do have a "wet"/"smudge" factor to consider. It doesn't go on like a tattoo for example....so it takes a few seconds/minutes for your writing to become "literature". hee hee Kids love them! They are far better than crayons to color with ..... and the ink is washable as far as I have seen. I'd imagine an entire pen full of purple gel ink on your favorite mini skirt is going to probably not come out, but the occasional mark here and there hasn't posed a problem for me thus far. Some ideas for use they are good for that you may not have considered: 1. Color on ceramics instead of painting them! Your ceramics come out shinier than they would with acrylic paints. 2. Wooden this and thats. You know, those wooden bird houses, etc. that you buy (pretty cheap) at like Michael's and you paint them and use them for silly artsy decoration in your house, or as a gift for your kid's teacher, or a last minute white elephant gift..... 3. Coloring fabric with them is pretty fabulous too. 4. Basically anything you apply color to with the exception of things that have already been glazed....the ink will not stick..period! So signing the back of your credit card with one (as I have foolishly tried..hee hee) ends up rubbing off immediately. That's just to name a few things. Like i said, they are craft pens by nature...but versatile in use. They're no Montblanc....but they're worth the $$$ you pay for them. Cheers

Sakura Jelly Roll pens are top tier gel pens. This is the gold standard for colorful gel pens. These Glaze variety pens are very unique, bold, and really just a joy to use. I love these for adult coloring books and drawing. The effect is very similar to stained glass. It's a shiny, somewhat translucent 3d effect that is hard to describe until you can see and feel it. You are able to write on glass with these and other smooth surfaces, but I haven't yet tried it out. I'm sure they would look fantastic, though. It takes a little longer to dry than other gel pens because of how thick it comes out and the consistency. These are not writing pens. These are functionally art supplies. And to me, for what I use them for, they are worth the price.

Amazing drawing pens. Provides a smooth un-scratchy colour that can be mixed or spread. They run out very quickly but this is because of their high ink flow capacity, but I prefer It this way. They give a plastic shine to the image and can be blended and layered well as peeled of of non-porous surfaces.
