Pilot roller-ball V Sign Pen Liquid Ink 2.0 mm Tip - Black, Box of 12

This pen stole my heart. It’s on the short side but gosh the way it moves across paper like butter makes up for that. I want it in other colors and tip sizes.

The media could not be loaded. Awesome pen!Pros: I would say this is more like a felt tip marker but I still use it to journal when I am craving a really “juicy” writing pen. I saw someone on TikTok reviewing this and purple/indigo is one of my favorite colors to write with in my journal since it is so bold. The color is true to its name, and writes flawlessly. It is 100% smear proof on paper, and doesn’t bleed. No odor. And it doesn’t skip or require you to shake the pen for ink. It also shows you the ink level on the side of the barrel which I like. And, its such a pretty deep violet color.Cons: If you are looking for more precise fine-line writing this marker/pen is not for you. I also wish the pen was a little bit longer, as it is not the standard size of a normal pen and is a little awkward to hold in your hand. This pen was also abnormally expensive. I paid $7 for it when I don’t think it’s worth THAT much- but hey, I’m not that tight for cash. I love pens and markers! I wish it came in more colors, but beggars can’t be choosers.

This is the pen! I love this pen and it took me a long time to find it but finally a perfect pen for my Zentangles when I want bigger lines. I love it!

Writing is great with this, however it is leaky so be prepared for that. If they can figure out a way to have it not leak with the precision of its boldness you have a winner!

Great! Thicker than a pen, but less than a marker. Writes very smoothly.

Better than an ordinary highlighter

The pen is pretty small and squat. It’s only 5 inches long capped, 5 7/8 open with the cap on its other end. It feels a little inelegant to hold.The ink payout when drawing, however is very satisfying. It’s immediately thick and soaking ink from the nib. However it’s extremely smudgey. I’m left handed and there is no way I could use this for writing. I tried to use it to make a grid for something and it made the edges of my ruler very sticky with ink which got all over my fingers. If you let it set for a few hours it will be *slightly* less prone to running or smudging but this is not a pen to use when you need to keep a clean page. I might use it on a gouache painting when it’s fully dried if I need to mark a line. It is very smooth but for every day writing or doodling this is a no from me.

I have a low vision problem and need a pen that has a wide point and dark ink, so i can easily see and see what I’ve written. This pen does both things and I can recommend this pen to anyone who needs a wide point pen.
