And let’s not forget the amazing array of vivid colors. But if you like things a bit fatter, you’ve got the. 25mm option if you want to go even smaller. If you’re someone (like me) who loves a super fine tip on a pen, this one is for you. Maybe because it fits nicely in my elastic pen loop better than a retractable pen with a finger grip does? So many tip sizes (and colors) for the Signo! Normally I’m annoyed with finger grips but for some reason, I’m not bothered by this one. Plus, it’s a pen with a cap – which is my personal preference. The writing is SMOOTH and the ink saturation is nice and dark – exactly what I want in a pen. But if you’re an art journaler and need to add watercolor or other mixed media on top of your written word… you’re outta luck. Which is fine if you want your writing preserved and safe for future generations (or for your notebooks to survive floods). Oops! Smearing like crazy! So I guess the lesson here is that the ink is waterproof but you have to wait a couple of days. I waited 30 seconds for the ink to dry and then ran a wet paintbrush over the words. Whoa! I hadn’t expected that.īut as I’m writing this I started to grow skeptical (of course!) so I did another water test. The water test happened on a different day (I think it was 3 days later) and there was absolutely no smudging or smearing when I ran a wet paintbrush across the written word. The highlighter test didn’t fair well and all the highlighters I used resulted in smudging. However, I was shocked when I did the smudge test – the results were quite interesting. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s now a huge problem because I don’t normally drag my hand through the ink I just laid down, but if you’re a lefty, this would definitely be a problem. But there’s one major drawback that bugs me… the smudging. In fact, I’ve been using it lately and really do love it. There are so many things to love about the Uni-ball Signo UM-151 gel pen.
