Sharpie Permanent Paint Marker, Fine Point [Set of 3]

This review is for: Fine Point Paint Marker [Set of 3] Color: White If you are an artist, a visual journalist, someone who likes to write on photos or sign artworks, then you probably need these. I bought them based on Jane Davenport's wonderful book "Beautiful Faces", because she revealed it as a secret trick to open the eyes of your subject, regardless of medium. I'd also add they are perfectly wonderful for adding small stars to any dark barkground as well. Unlike regular Sharpies, these are paint-based, which means you have to shake them a bit, and the pen does write in a liquid medium. It is beautifully opaque, and mostly easy to control - mostly. You do want to test it on a scratch pad first and get the feel of the pen - it's easy to accidentally drip a huge blob on your work, and this is not as easy to clean up. Thus the removal of one star, because while I shall never live without these, it did cause me to ruin a calendar due to the overenthusiastic speed with which it tends to flow. They don't have the typical sharpie smell, and there isn't any bleedthrough that I've detected (which is also different from sharpies). It dries to a glossy and not a matte finish. It is the definitive tool for highlights of the smallish kind, and it also works wonderfully with watercolor and pastel. PROS Excellent highlighting No bleedthrough Fine, sharp point give you intricate precision Shiny, beautiful opaque finish CONS They will run all over your project if you aren't careful

The pens are great. The color is a true black and they are perfect for the small details on my crafts. I recommend them.

We used these for guest to sign a wooden signature board at our son’s wedding. These paint pens work fine once you follow the directions included on the side of the pens. Some of the points may need to be pressed down more than what the directions call for. Shake them really well and they should work well.

Packing was very good product is just what I needed for marking my cuts on black board in my bathroom remodel.

Apparently not meant for windows. They don't write on a vertical surface like you would expect a Sharpie to do. More or less paint on a stick instead of a brush. I bought these to make vertical lines on our windows to keep birds from crashing into them. Guess I'll try something else. UPDATE: I tried again to use these pens to write on our windows. The first pen dried up after three vertical lines. The other two would not make a single mark. I expected much more from a Sharpie.

I had bought previous sharpie oil-based markers to fix some dents on a steel traveling mug. And when my daughter's steel water bottle started to fade away. I ordered this pack due to the previously purchased package did not come with white. And it works great!!! I managed to color in hello kitty again. ***** TIP, when doing a project like this, you would want to press on the tip onto the surface for a short sequence. Because if you press down for more ink to come out, you will get a big glob, and it dries a little bit quicker. Resulting in bumpiness. If this happens, it’s better just to let it dry and do it again with a little bit of a big glob and spread it around with the tip of the marker.

I have used this brand and style of paint markers for many years, with great success and consistent experience and quality of ink/paint, as well as robustness of the applicator tip. I see many reviews here that claim the ink was dried up, or did not flow consistently, or various other purported defects. Those criticisms are unmistakeably from naive/new users who are unfamiliar with the conventional limitations of this product. Larger markers (with a larger applicator tip) of this brand and type are less susceptible to a fundamental characteristic of these paint markers: the flow can be interrupted from periods of disuse, any (perhaps unseen) contaminant/film on the surface to be painted, as well as the pressure of the user’s technique and the angle of attack. The finer/thinner the applicator tip, the greater the degree of these KNOWN limitations. Probably, anyone with experience in traditional India ink “dip-pens” or fountain pens is accustomed to the need to test-stroke a “nibbed” pen across a scrap piece of paper/surface in order to prime it. Also, the directions to initiate ink flow need to be repeated during the lifetime of the pen (that is, the directions may be misinterpreted to mean that the “setup” operation of pumping the tip is required only for the first use, but the fact is that I often repeat this exercise when starting each session). It’s a good product, but if you want the fine-line application that these provide, there are accommodations to be made to prime the product for each use.

First, a quick tip that I've found with these: leaving them stored in a pen cup CAP DOWN seems to keep them 'primed' and ready to write...most of the time...which leads me to my review... These markers are great and just what I need to write on dark surfaces. But many times when I go to use them, they will not write. I will shake the crap out of them for a couple minutes and press the tip repeatedly and leave it depressed for several seconds. Sometimes it will get going again, sometimes just for a few lines before it stops again. Sometimes it will just work. Sometimes I can not get it started after minutes of trying. The inconsistency and frustration has led me to look for more reliable alternatives. Going to try the Sharpie fine point silver. It's a classic marker that doesn't need shaking.

I use these to draw thin white lines 4 in apart onto my picture window in the living room to prevent birds colliding with my window. The pen needs a little shaking and priming before it works, then it works well using a 2x4 plank as a ruler. The lines stay put through rain and weather but need to be redrawn after window washing. However, this has been an effective and cost effective way to protect birds from window collisions for me.

Great for rock painting!!!

0 star. They were all dry. Can’t use them and can’t return them.

Nice
