4.0 out of 5 stars Good product for scrapbooking March 2, 2010

By Jamie M. Ahrens

I purchased this product after closely examining all the scrapbook pens Amazon had to offer. I was a little wary because of the 1.0mm point size as I tend to like narrower points for scrapbooking. However, these pens do work very well for scrapbooking. The ink is very smooth and does not skip while writing, and the color assortment cannot be beat. The one thing to be aware of is that these pens do require a little drying time before they are smear proof; before they are completely dry on the paper, they will smear and care must be taken with the project. Overall, I think these pens are a great value for the price and have met my scrapbooking needs just as well as pricey pens from a specialty store.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price for the pens that work well December 17, 2010

By Sarah Robbins

I'm a little conflicted with this review. About half of them work wonderfully, a quarter work okay, and the rest are hardly worth keeping. I would add half a star and give this product 3 ˝ stars if I could.

I'll start with the positive. The variety of colors is fantastic. I have been able to find the right color to match just about every color scheme I was look for. There are multiple shades of common colors, as well as some unexpected colors, such as white and silver. I love the glittery inks, which add sparkle to my projects. The box is clear and sturdy, so I am able to choose my pen before opening the it.

On the negative side, some the the pens skip badly, and sometimes the ink hardly comes out at all. Three of the pens have a cap that is a completely different color than the ink inside. One of the pens changed from blue to pink while I was using it, ruining the project. I threw that pen out.

The white pen is interesting, as I didn't even know there was such a thing as a white pen. It skips a lot and the ink is watery. This makes it bad for writing, but I found that it works pretty well for coloring in reflections in my die-cuts, giving the objects a 3-D appearance.

All the pens dry rather quickly, but I would give it a few minutes before running an eraser over the work to get rid of pencil marks.

Overall, this package is worth the price just for the half of the pens that work well. You just need to expect some frustrations with the others. If you are a professional artist, or otherwise need the work to come out perfectly, you should invest in the professional-grade pens. For leisure artists and scrapbookers on a budget like myself, this is a good buy.
