Zebra Pen Sarasa Clip Standard Colors

I love these pens! There’s no smudge or runs. They write smoothly and the colors are very vibrant. I am very picky with my pens, but these are amazing!

For reference, the photos were taken on 1x apple Iphone quality and 0.5x, one in direct sunlight the other not. Also, I am not left handed or ambidextrous. Lastly, written on Mead paper. These pens were so amazing at first glance. They advertise their clips- which work so well, and the pens look amazing. I was so impressed by the colors and the elegant 0.5 tip when writing. But, I was slightly disappointed when doing the smudge test. Some were better than others but I was surprised to see red did the worst, seeing as it’s a favorite of mine. These pens are such high quality though, you wouldn’t even suspect they had a smudging problem. The click is satisfying and the pens weigh a bit in your hand giving it that richer feel. The pens on the outside are thicker and have a rubber grip which makes writing feel effortless, and the color match is remarkable. Also it’s not the kind of pen to feel heavy after a while* -for my earlier remark. I am happy to own these pens but disappointed this comes with a side of caution because of the poor drying aspect. Oh, and I used the S • Gel Sharpie pen as reference to an actual non smudge pen. I give these a 9.5/10 rating (unlike the pens)

I will start by saying that my all time favorite clickable gel pens are the Pilot G2 0.7 and 1.0 mm pens. But I can't find a very wide variety of colors in the G2 0.5mm (10-pack is the most I've found so far). So when I saw this selection of 20 colors of Zebra Sarasa Clip Retractable Gel 0.5mm gel pens and saw that they got good reviews, I thought I'd give them a try. Well, I'm VERY happy I did. [[SMOOTHNESS]] - The Zebra Sarasa doesn't have QUITE as smooth a writing touch as the .7mm G2's, but with a .5mm tip, I don't expect the pointier contact surface to feel exactly the same. And I don't find the difference in smoothness at all objectionable. My only remaining questions were a) the hues and saturation levels of the Zebra Sarasa Clip Retractable Gel color selection, b) how well the click/clips work, c) how they feel in the fingers when used and d) the ink quality (water-fastness, archival, etc.). I can speak to the first three, and the claims of Zebra say this is archival ink and water resistant, but I haven't had a chance to test that yet. [[HUES & SATURATION]] - I've been spoiled (in a good way) by the 36 gorgeous colors of the Pilot G2 .7mm, so my first task with the Zebra Sarasa Clip Retractable Gel .5mm's was a writing and coloring test on some of my favorite papers. The .5mm Sarasas came through VERY well. Totally satisfied. See attached photo. I provided written and color-swatch samples to show both aspects of the ink's visual appearance on paper. [[CLICK / CLIP]] - highly reliable clickers and clips are important to folks who use their pens frequently, and I'm finding the Sarasa clicker and clip work just as desired with no complaints. While the clicker design is different from the G2, they work very well on all the shirts and other surfaces I like to clip pens to (notebook spirals, etc.) and the click is both gratifying and stays in place (doesn't un-click like some flakier pens). [[FINGER FEEL]] - there's nothing more annoying than a pen that lays down a great line or color-swatch but feels awful in your fingers. The Sarasa .5mm feels just fine as I use it, with no complaints of any kind, plenty firm, no slipping, and very comfortable. I look forward to taking these pens out of their case every time the occasion arises.

omg i love these pens so much, i left them on campus so no photos but trust, the colors are pretty, the ink is so nice and feels fun to write with, dries quickly too. i'd say its decently durable but just be careful with the clip ends, 0.5 so it's a nice thickness for me personally but i think for some the pen might be small to hold. i found a sarasa pen outside in the dirt and i love it so much i actually bought it on amazon 😭😭😭😭

Nice subtle unusual colors, writes fairly smoothly, but I have managed to bend the tip of my most used color (after months of use). I'm an artist & am harder on my pens than most. The clip retractable tip is convenient and not often an option on colored gel pens.

The Zebra Sarasa Clip 20ct Vibrant Gel Ink Pen set is amazing for journaling, note-taking, and color coding! The .5 fine point writes super smooth with clean, neat lines, and the color variety is perfect since it includes every rainbow shade plus neutrals. The ink flows consistently without skipping. Just make sure to fully remove the tiny rubber tip seals before use, or some pens may not write at first. Overall, a beautiful and reliable gel pen set!

These pens are great; archival quality and they have beautiful opaque pastel colors that show up well on white or black paper and have a really nice sensation of feedback. Keep in mind, though, that they don’t work well on all papers. If you find that these seem overly scratchy or seem to be skipping and writing dryly, switch to a higher quality paper and it’s almost guaranteed that they will work again like a dream. I was writing in a cheap notebook and they skipped horribly and felt like they were going to rip right through the paper but then I switched over to a Peter Pauper Press journal and they wrote beautifully again. ALL of the Zebra Sarasa Clip gel pens (regardless of which product line they are: Vibrant/standard, Vintage, Milk, Decoshine) are like this - they can be quite finicky about paper quality.

Colors are nice. Writes smoothly. Will buy again.

Always the best pen out there. Always writes, never dries out, very long lasting. Sarasa has always signified quality to me.

Sehr zu empfehlen

My fav pens. I have bought several times now. Ink is smooth, colors are different which is great for note taking. Highly recommend!

Son plumas de muy buena calidad, el clip es de plástico así que me preocupa usarlo ya que da la sensación de que se romperá fácilmente, la sensación al escribir es muy suave y en el papel que las he estado usando no parece traspasar o embarrar la hoja, los colores están muy bonitos aunque algunos son muy parecidos. El único inconveniente que tuve es que me llego con una etiqueta pegada en el frente muy grande tapando lo mas importante del producto cuando la intente quitar fue imposible y dejo muy maltratado el empaque y yo pensaba guardar las plumas así como venían.
