different Zebra Sarasa comparisons

I do not have the complete set of Zebra Sarasa clip gel pens, but I do have a decent amount of different lines of Zebra Sarasa 😅

Starting off with the classic Sarasa Clip, I have the 0.5 mm ones in 4 colors only. Initially got them just to complete my gel pen collection that consists of the Muji knock types LOL. the colors are Red, Cobalt Blue, Pale Blue, and Viridian. they are really smooth, relatively quick drying, not highlighter safe though.

I also don’t have a complete set of the Sarasa Vintage, as I only got one complete set of 5 then bought the other colors separately so I’m missing a green. These colors have a mature look to them, which I like for my journal. idk if it’s just me but I found the Vintage series to be smoother than the regular Sarasa clip. I don’t intend to use highlighter with these but I’m pretty sure they’re not highlighter proof.

For the black inks, I also have them in different bodies and tip sizes, they’re essentially the same. The 0.7 is the smoothest because it’s the thickest, but with how I hold my pens, I always smear the ink with this one. So I’m only using this occasionally in my notes. The other ones are solely for collection purpose xD

Lastly for the miscellaneous ones, I have the MarkOn, Sarasa R, and the ones in white body & colored rubber that matches the ink color! My favorite for note taking is the MarkOn because it actually dries fast, and you can highlight over after writing, which the Sarasa Dry can’t do!

The Sarasa R on the other hand is sorta like a direct competitor to Uni-ball One, but a smoother version of the Uni-ball One LOL. The thing is, Uni-ball One dries significantly faster than the R, so I was genuinely confused about its setting at first, but I grew to love it. I had this pen clipped to my pocket binder notebook for teaching notes!

The last one is the latest Biotube, which is made of recycled plastic and sugar cane biomass plastic, it’s just an environmentally friendly version of the other Sarasa line.

... Read moreHi stationery lovers! After sharing my initial thoughts on various Zebra Sarasa gel pens, I wanted to dive a bit deeper into some common questions and comparisons. Choosing the right pulpen sarasa can really make a difference, whether you're a student, a journaler, or just someone who appreciates a good sarasa pen for your diverse collection. Let’s tackle some popular comparisons, starting with the Sarasa R vs Sarasa Clip. While the Zebra Sarasa Clip is a classic for its reliable smooth gel ink, the Sarasa R offers an interesting twist. I've found the Sarasa R 0.4 mm to be incredibly smooth, perhaps even a tad smoother than the regular Clip, providing an extra gliding feeling. Its vibrant ink colors are fantastic. However, if quick-drying properties are your absolute top priority, especially for fast note-taking or left-handed writers, the Sarasa R might not be the fastest. It’s a great choice if you prioritize an exceptionally fluid writing experience and can allow the ink a moment to set. For everyday use, the Sarasa Clip pen in 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm tip sizes remains a solid, dependable option. Next up is the Sarasa Dry vs Mark On debate, crucial if you use highlighters. My original post mentioned my love for the Zebra Sarasa Mark On for notes, and I stand by that! It truly excels in quick-drying properties, allowing you to highlight over your writing almost immediately without smudging. This is a game-changer for study sessions where speed and neatness are crucial. While the Sarasa Dry also aims for fast drying, in my experience, the Mark On 0.4 mm is superior if you frequently use highlighters. If you're curious about a zebra sarasa writing sample for both, imagine the Mark On staying crisp and clear under a highlighter, whereas some Sarasa Dry colors might still show a slight smear. The Sarasa Clip vs Sarasa Vintage comparison is more about aesthetics and feel. The Sarasa Vintage series, with its beautiful muted colors and often mature aesthetic, is perfect for journaling or more formal writing. I find them to be incredibly smooth as well, sometimes even more so than the classic Sarasa Clip. If you're looking for pens that feel a bit more refined and offer unique color palettes, the Vintage line, sometimes featuring Peanuts designs, is a fantastic choice. For a broader spectrum of bright, everyday vibrant ink colors, the standard Sarasa Clip is unbeatable. When it comes to zebra sarasa tip sizes, I've noticed that while the 0.7 mm delivers the smoothest, boldest line, it's also the most prone to smudging for some, depending on how you hold your bolpoin sarasa. For precision, 0.5 mm is a reliable choice, and the 0.4 mm (seen in Mark On and Sarasa R) offers even finer detail, great for small handwriting or intricate drawings. Each sarasa pens size offers a distinct writing experience that caters to different needs. And let's not forget about the special editions! I love seeing the limited edition designs like those with Hello Kitty or other unique aesthetics. They add a fun, collectible element to your stationery stash. Also, it’s wonderful to see innovations like the Biotube 0.5 mm, which offers environmentally friendly features using recycled plastic and sugar cane biomass. It's a great example of how you can enjoy your favorite pulpen merk sarasa while also making a conscious choice. Ultimately, the best Zebra Sarasa for you depends on your specific needs. Do you need highlighter-proof ink? Go for the Mark On. Do you want super-smooth writing with unique colors? Try the Sarasa R or Vintage. For an all-rounder, the Zebra Sarasa Clip is always reliable. While I can't give you exact harga pulpen sarasa or harga sarasa, I always recommend checking both online retailers and local stationery shops to compare and find the best value for these incredible zebra sarasa pens. Happy writing!
