Pen Rev[i]ews
Posted by Jules - September 14, 2007 at 03:09:45 pmI’ve been switching back and forth between two pens while writing in my notebooks at class and in lab to see which I liked better. In the end, the Itoya won out. While neither of these pictures are the exact size that I have, you get the idea:
The Itoya Finepoint 0.2mm writes crisply on notebook paper, with no bleeding. I like the textured grip around the, well, gripping area. I also liked the feel of the non glossy pen body. The labelling rubbed off within the first week of use, so that all I can make out is “STEM” and “0.2″.
I had high expectations for this Primacolor pen, but it failed miserably. Okay, perhaps not miserably- but there was noticeably more bleeding, which interfered when I tried to write numbers and letters in the mm range. How can I write in small letters when there is bleeding?? I might as well have bought a sharpie. I admit I’m a little obssessive.
