STAEDTLER Pigment Liner Bonus Sketch Set of 6 Liners for the Regular Price of 4(2 free), 308 SB6P

Absolutely beautiful, deep black ink. The nibs flow smoothly with no drag. I must have 20 cheap liner pens at least that are either leaky, the ink skips, etc. Time to clean them all out. I have in the past bought Micron when I could afford them, but I think these are my new favorite.

I have used Staedtler pigment liners for a couple of years. They are by far my favorite art-liner. When I want to do a small drawing, zentangle or write in my bullet journal, this is what I reach for. I think these are far and away superior to Sakura Micron pens in both tip quality, ink flow, and pen material quality for smaller millimeter black pen sizes. The tips are very durable, and work snag-free on a variety of papers. The ink runs out long before the tips wear down. I do get a lot of miles from these pens. There is no scratchy sensation, no snagging, on my journal paper (Pentallic) or on my wide variety of drawing and marker papers. The metal tip casings are perfect for drawing ruled lines, something I often do in my journal. The metal part is long enough to use with most rulers, but not too long to be prone to bending or give an awkward distance from the page. The barrel is what makes the cost of these pens worth it - not too thin or thick, smooth but not slippery. The plastic casing has a slight texture that runs the length of the pen, minimizing slipping and making a more secure grip possible. The caps post very nicely, have never had one get in the way or fall off. The clips wear out over time, but that's not a really important consideration for me. The case that this set comes in is pretty handy. My only wish is that they would make a brush tip and a 0.03 tip for my very-fine, usually small line drawings. If they made them in different colors I'd have the whole stash.

This was a gift

Great pens! Nice to have the different widths. I got these for a project that involves hand lettering. I'm left handed and that usually means a mess of smears and smudges, but not with these. My only small concern is that when I opened the pack, three of the caps weren't fully clicked down. They seem fine, despite that.

I've used these pens for a while now. Bad news: The ink isn't very black, which is unfortunate considering how much these pens usually cost. Good news: this set is very cheap compared to other sets of the same pens. They also last much longer than Sakura Pigma Microns, which are a more popular option. I tend to use pigment liners when I'm not making a larger piece or a comic book page, so blackness isn't a huge problem for me. It's also very waterproof and Copic proof. Stands up to those mediums about as well as the Microns. It's a great option if you want something that'll last a long time and that will work with water and Copic markers.

These are amazing! I did a lot of research before buying the Staedtler Pigment liners. I already own a .05 mm Copic multiliner, which I HATE. It's the nicer version, which is refillable. It skips, and I can't write or draw with it unless I keep it moving slow, otherwise it skips, like it's running out of ink, even though it's not (has done this since new). Maybe I got a bum Copic multiliner, but so far, I just hate it. But the Staedtler? Smooth as silk, never skips, even when writing as fast as I can. Doesn't feel scratchy on the paper, even in the smallest size (.05). Very happy with these pens. I also love the stand. I wish it was easier to slide the pens back into the stand when using it in the easel position, but it's good enough--they don't need to be perfectly seated in the stand until I'm ready to close it. The size of the nib is imprinted on the end of the cap, so all the sizes are readily seen when resting in the stand. I wish they were refillable. (I know the Faber Castell pitt pens can be refilled--you're not supposed to, but you can--and I wish I knew if I could try it with this pen. I might take a chance, when they run dry). I've already bought a second set to have as a back up. I disagree with other reviewers that the ink is a charcoal color. It's not the blackest of black, but it's black enough for me. I wish it was Copic-marker-friendly (this must be alcohol-based pigment, like Copics, because other reviewers have said the ink will run when mixed with Copics). For now, I'll have to stick with the Copic multiliner when needing to outline around alcohol marker designs. So far that's the only drawback I see. If a blacker ink is really important to you, try the Faber Castell Pitt pigment pens. The black is very dark, but I don't think they run as small as the nibs on this set, and FC doesn't label them the same as other marker companies do (.05mm, .1mm, etc.), which is a pain. They draw very well (not as impressed with the brush nibs, they skip a bit more than the fine nibs), but there are YouTube videos on how to refill them. Getting six markers in the nifty case, I feel like this is a great deal. I'm impressed enough with these Staedtlers that I'm ready to pull the trigger on trying out the Staedtler Ergosoft Watercolor pencils and the Triplus fineliners as soon as I can.

Pens work great, even on rough watercolor paper. They are not waterproof, so have to plan ahead! Would purchase again.

My go to pigment liner. Love that it does not smudge when dry or when you add water after it dries. Think the package is a good value. I am a watercolor and mixed media artist and use this in my work.
