Uni-ball UM 153 Signo Broad Point Gel Pen – White – Pack of 3

Great gel pen for opaque and consistent white detailing and lettering. This review is made in comparison to the Sakura White Gelly Roll, which is what I’ve been using exclusively up until now.PROS:• Even and consistent ink flow.• Very opaque.• Rubber grip and thicker barrel makes it much more comfortable and ergonomic.• Can go over lines and do multiple layers to make sections thicker.CONS:• Pen tip is much larger (1.0 mm) compared to what most people are used to on a Gelly Roll• Distributes a lot of ink (takes some getting used to).• Slightly longer drying time.I was skeptical of the Signo making that much of a difference compared to the Gelly Roll but it surprised me. With both pens, I always do a little “warm-up” scribble before I go into an art piece — but with the Signo, I can rely on the ink flow to stay consistent and even until I’m done with it. If not, I can easily go back to areas that need touching up without ruining the ink I already laid down. With the Gelly Roll it would skip frequently and when I went over another area again, it would always scratch the ink already in the process of drying — this often turned a small touch up into a larger problem.The Signo is also a lot more comfortable. Often times, my hand would cramp up with a Gelly Roll because of its skinny barrel. Especially since I would have to spend more time with it going over areas to make the lines more opaque or filling in areas the ink skipped. With a Signo, I usually only have to make one pass.Yes, the Signo produces a much bolder line than a Gelly Roll — because of that it does release a lot of ink and needs a little longer drying time. It’ll also take a bit to get used to and familiar with so you can control it and know what to expect when you detail/write.Overall the Signo is a great alternative to the Gelly Roll. It’s now my go-to pen, although I still plan to always keep at least one Gelly Roll pen nearby for times I need to do very small details.

super pigmented. LOVEEEE

I loved this product. These pens are great. Its exactly what I wanted for my art .

The best. These work really well, and are a must have for traditional artists. I’ve used them to add highlights for the most part, but I’ve even used them to cover up mistakes. Of course when you go over it multiple times the gel on the paper will move around.

kind of like paint. I got these pens not for art but to mark dots on a dark background habit tracker. These are pretty good as they do show up quite vibrantly against the dark background. However, I have noticed that I need to go over the strokes one or two times because it does not usually go on as a completely solid line. Certainly the ink seems to be quite watery, but it doesn’t run as long as I don’t accidentally brush it before it dries. The casing for the pens seems pretty sturdy.

It’s what I hoped for. Very white, covers great goes where you put it

Stupendous. New to writing “white-on-dark”; these pens are great; makes writing seem almost magical! Love ‘em! Will definitely purchase again!

Love this brand. Great for putting on top of alcohol markers. Great in flow! Love these and the gold ones. Trying the silver next!
