SAKURACOLOR Pen-Touch White Paint Markers (SAK42300)

This was perfect for decorating Christmas packages! I was being crafty last year and wrapped all of my gifts in black paper and used this pen to decorate them. They were a huge hit! This pen still works for me today and I have had it for quite a while! It did not run or fade compared to other paint pens I have used in the past. I purchased a set of colored paint pens when I purchased this pen and they have all stopped working while this one is going strong.

Writes clean

Worked ONCE. I put lid back on immediately and good and tight, went to use a second time in about 3 weeks and it was dried out

Says fine point, but is not. Want fine point!!!!!!!!

This pen was recommended to me for writing on dark fabric. Didn't work. Couldn't see it. Stick with the Decor Fabric pen!!

doesn't work all the time

I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER TO MAKING THIS PEN LAST LONGER! These paint pens are great for writing on dark surfaces like plastic (and I have owned several now) but they always seem to clog up and stop working a month or two after using them the first time. I assumed it had something to do with the drying out of the paint, and that there was nothing I could do. WRONG! The answer works like this: the pen has a porous nib which draws paint down from the barrel above. The nib rests ever so lightly in the barrel, and when you press down on it, air can flow up into the pen to compensate for the drawn paint. The barrier between the paint and the outside world is nothing more than a ring of tiny fibers (polyester? Nylon) that hold the nib in place and hold the paint back: as soon as paint begins to dry on the porous nib and on these fibers, it stops flowing and you would normally have to discard the pen (and that is what the manufacturer would like you to do, of course: discard and buy a new one). And you know it is still full of paint.Never again! If you take a paper towel and gently pull on the nib, it can easily be drawn out of the barrel. Once it is out, you will be able to see that it is (probably) caked with white paint. Paint thinner didn't seem to dissolve this caked layer, but a brief squirt of carburetor cleaning fluid (which is a potent solvent) totally did the trick: I put a shot on a paper towel and placed the nib in it and rolled it around for maybe 10 seconds or so. The paint started coming out of the nib and soaked into the paper towel, and the nib went from pure white to a shade of slightly off-white-yellow, which is the color of the fibers that are used to conduct the paint. Note that I didn't just pull the nib out of the barrel, I also pulled the cylindrical "soaker" sponge OUT from the BACK SIDE of the NIB (it too comes out quite easily— it's about a quarter of an inch long and maybe 1/16 of an inch in diameter). Once I was done, I VERY gently slid the soaker sponge thing back into the back of the nib and then slid the nib back into the barrel. Then I tipped the pen up up to let the paint re-soak the nib. Then I tried writing with it: at first the lines I drew were faint, but at least they were clear (as opposed to the messy, globbed lines I get with an old paint pen. And then moments later the ink started to FLOW once again! It was like a brand new pen! No need to throw another one away: just remove the nib and soak it briefly in a suitable solvent like carburetor cleaner and then put it back in: the freshly cleaned fibers will allow the paint to flow once again, and you will feel like you just bought a new pen. Man, this problem has been frustrating me for years. It's nice to finally have a solution because these are actually very handy pens to have around from time to time and it sucks to throw them away after using them twice! Not anymore. Carburetor cleaner— it cleans so much more than carburetors!

Good pen.

I have known Sakura for having great quality products and this pen does not disappoint.The ink shows clearly on black card, although on occasion I did go over twice to get a really opaque look. You d have to ensure you 'load' the pen properly though by pushing the nib a few times, otherwise you do not get much out.I will definitely be buying again once mine runs out

It hasn't made my signature any easier to decipher, but it looks nice now.

loved these, used them to write on plexiglass worked perfectly

It works exactly as expected. Remember to store horizontally.
