Signing Pens

[mysterio]

Has anyone used these Pilot pens? I saw them at Hobby Lobby yesterday, and they are allegedly both archival and permanent. If nobody has tried them I may have to do a test.

 

In other pen news, you guys have convinced me to try some bronze Sharpies at my next opportunity. I picked up a 2-pack yesterday.

 

I got these pens today since they were on sale for $3.

They are more like paint pens than markers.

I tested the silver one and a silver Sharpie on a comic. (a free promo one)

Pros: Very vibrant metallic colors, they actually shine in the light. "Archival Safe"

Cons: You have to shake the pen to get it to work and then start it on a scrap piece of paper. It takes 30-60 seconds to dry whereas a Sharpie takes a couple seconds.

 

 

 

Cool, thanks for the test! The Pen Touch also take a little while to dry but I love the results. Do the Pilots smear even when dry? The last archival pens I tested smeared even several minutes later.
