STAEDTLER334 C60 Triplus Fineliner Superfine Pen, 0.3mm Line Width - Assorted Colours (Pack of 60)

I am a stickler about my pens. I use them primarily for creating Zentangle art on small-sized "tiles" so smaller-sized nibs are essential. I used to mainly use Sakura Micron pens in various nib sizes however their color selection is extremely limited and I always prefer working in color. A Zentangling friend recommended these to me, and I am so happy she did!The 0.3mm line width is perfect for my Zentangling needs...although I wish they made these same pens in various widths as I could also use narrower and wider widths. The pens write nice and smoothly and dry quickly (which is important as I am a lefty and prone to smearing my work). I haven't yet accidentally left the top off of any of my pens for more than a few minutes, but it's good to know that the manufacturer states that they won't dry out if I do.I didn't even notice the slightly triangular or conical shape of the pens when I ordered them, but that is a nice feature as the shape makes them more comfortable to hold and they don't roll off the table like most of my other pens and markers.One of my favorite things about this set of 60 pens is the color selection. The nuanced shades of many of these pens are hard to find in other brands. In fact, I own a package of 160 fine liner marker pens and I am much more likely to find the exact color I want in my box of 60 Staedtler marker pens than in my super-sized box that supposedly has more than twice as many colors (unfortunately, many are repeats.)I could do without the neons in this set plus some of the pastels are barely legible when used to write or draw on white paper. And with an 0.3mm nib size, they really aren't suitable for coloring except for tiny spaces. So I feel like Staedtler could have done a somewhat better job of selecting 60 fantastic colors for this set, and I really hope that they will eventually offer a larger-sized set or an add-on set with additional colors. I would buy additional colors in a heartbeat!My other complaint about this set of marker pens (and all sets of Staedtler pens/markers that I own) is that they don't include color names or numbers on the barrels of the pens/markers. Plus the caps on the pens don't always closely match the colors of the ink. So it often feels like a crap shoot when I grab an unnamed color from the box while relying on its cap for identification. I think I have talked myself into taping numbers onto each pen barrel and making my own swatch chart for future reference.Aside from my noted complaints which are minor, I am very pleased with these fine line marker pens and would highly recommend them.

A great gift unless purchased through Amazon because the package will likely be ruined by Amazon shipping/packaging. This is something that should ship in a box, not a padded mailer.The pens are great, the finest felt tip you'll find of any brand besides Sakura micron, and a broad range of colors with a mix of bold, pastels, and muted tones. More colors than Stabilo 88 (the closest other product to these) and the tip and longevity are at least as good. This set includes 6 neons of three primary colors and three secondary colors. I find the ergonomic shape reduces hand fatigue and they last long enough for what I'm using them for, which is writing and filling in 1/4 inch graph paper squares. You will run them out quick if you're using for full size coloring pages, but they're not really designed for that.These are water based ink so they're not going to blend well, your paper will fall apart if you try. This is the case for all water-based inks. You can use dithering when you color to achieve something like a blended effect, but it's not like using alcohol markers. Each marker in this set has at least one other that coordinates so you can easily do lighter/darker combos, and the majority if not all have a pastel/bold pair and cool/warm pairs.Staedtler doesn't publish a color wheel anywhere that I can find, but I've decoded a little of their color system. For first digits, 1: yellows, 2: reds, 3: blues, 4: oranges, 5: greens, 6: purples, 7: browns, 8: grays, and 9 for black. Primary colors each have a cool/warm version with two digits ending in 0. Double digits ending in 1 appear to be tints (hue mixed with white). I know that higher second digits indicate deeper shades (hue + black) but they're not progressively deeper.

My wife loves these fine tip pens. She uses them in her grade books, daily note taking or documenting and uses them with the kids while coloring! We haven’t experienced any bleed through, but we don’t use them on very thin paper or coloring pages. The color variety is great and they don’t bleed. The ink is very bright and clear to read.

I buy myself a new set every year, I can't get enough of these markers. My only complaint is that I need more colors, even though there are 60!I've used them 5+ years, they're absolutely wonderful for the Johanna Basford books.When you first get them, the markers a little tough but the more you break them in, the easier they get to produce the ink, then you're set til they run out.I use them on a weekly basis and they usually last me a year and a half or so.I even order them my own way that makes sense in my head, haha!Can't suggest them enough.

I've been doing adult coloring books for about 6 years now, and these are my absolute favorite. I have collected a lot of pens, but I always have these within reach.Pros:- So. Many. Colors. And the shades/hues are very distinct and easy to differentiate.- Long lasting. I've had these for a few years now and only some of them are starting to dry out.- Easy to hold- Can fill in the smaller spaces, largely without bleeding through- Pretty good at layering, on that note! They don't seem to leak into each other very badly if you don't wait for the first layer to dry.- Good at "regular" paper too, but I don't use them that way oftenCons:- I just wish I had a sturdy case for them, my set is currently being held together by duct tape!- Colors are numbered on the back of the box, but are quite different from actual ink colors IMO.TL;DR: BEST fineliners I've bought, without a doubt.

The pens are great colours all working well, the box was kinda neat up though, looked old.
