Pens swatch

many of you asked to see how they write under my previous posts on smoothest pens recommendations, and here they are!

you can see from the swatches, Pentel Energel writes thicker for 0.5 mm, but it’s the fastest-drying one out of the rest. The Pilot Juice Up, Ilmily Nuance black, and Uni UMN-155 doesn’t advertise as fast-drying but their inks are formulated to glide smoothly on the paper.

The Uni jetstream lite touch is the only oil-based pen that made it to the list, the 0.7 mm is super smooth compared to many other ballpoint pens out there.

Zebra Sarasa comes in a variety of tip sizes but I always recommend 0.5 mm not because it’s easiest to find but it’s the right size and smoothness
