STAEDTLERPigment Liner 0.05 mm Black [Pack of 5 ]

I don’t use these for drawing/drafting. I use them for writing. I have small writing with light pressure, so having a very fine pen is important to be able to READ my writing. This is one of the best pens I’ve ever had. It’s super fine, and writes so smoothly, not scratchy at all. I’ve been using it to write pages and pages for a couple of weeks now, and it hasn’t dried out, nor has the tip been damaged. The tip seems very sturdy and durable, not like the micron pens I’ve used in the past. The Unipin .03 is finer, and it makes me feel like I can write much more quickly, though the Staedtler is a smoother writer, and is better when you need to underline things. The big pack of the Unipin is a better price than the Staedtler pens, but I feel like most people will like these better for writing. They seem like they’ll last a long time, too.In my photo, it’s just a regular crappy gel pen for the first bit, the Staedtler for the second, and the Unipin for the last section.(Don’t judge my fast lap writing!)

I’ve been using these pens in my journals for five or six years now. They are waterproof and produce a fine line. The tip provides cushioned feeling when writing compared to roller ball and ball point pens.

I love these .05 liners for doodling in my sketch book.

I love these things for writing notes at work. My sloppy handwriting looks so much cleaner and legible when writing with these and I can write really really small when necessary.Only con I can think of is that the pen has to be treated well or it will write faded lines and be useless.Ex: You can't ever leave it out in the cold or leave the tip exposed when not using it (just like any pen really but these are more susceptible because of how narrow the ink feed is)

These pens were dried out. They barely made a mark. Not worth spending time returning them; they went directly to the trash can.

These last so much longer than the Micron pens and the ink is nice and black. Not washy like some of the others I've tried. I really like these for reliable, consistent line work. For more sketch work and very long lasting, super-black water-based ink I prefer the Copic Multiliner since it has replaceable nibs and ink. I trust the Staedtler Pigment Liner though for anything.

As others mentioned this doesn't look like black ink. But that could be because it's a light, fine line. No matter, I read the reviews and expected that. I love Staedtler and these pens are so cool!

Oh, I dislike that the ink fades after using the product for more than five minutes. It takes a bit of a minute for the ink to go back to the pen tip. I bought the product because I like finer penmanship.

These pens produce a very fine hairline and are perfect for the detailed pen and ink drawing that I do. Very reasonably priced and they last very well.
