I use Pigma Micron pens, and I've found them to be good value. Be sure that whatever brand you choose uses waterproof ink, though...

In my experience, Rapidograph pens clog far too easily and provide nothing but frustration...

Thanks! Good to know.
I bought black and brown moron pens yesterday.
I already forgot the brand.

Ill have to test them out first.

Oh aggro, I'm afraid you might find using those to be quite frustrating.

Work gave me an Ipad recently.

Of course, I take it home and goof off with it on the weekends.

I'm not used to the way it replaces words sometimes.

Interesting, this. I've read that about 50% of users swear by them, and the other 50% swear AT them! I've got on very well, and my experience has been that problems arise from the ink, not the pens.

No pics to show, but I gave the micro pens a go last night.

So far they worked fantastic!

All those wasted years.

Thanks again for everyone's help.

Glad it worked for you! If you're anything like me you'll find things to do with them you hadn't thought about!

I snapped a quick pic of my first effort.
I used Pigma Brand brown and black.

Again, I was really impressed with how easy they worked.

Guys,

I've tried my Rotring Isographs with Rowney FW acrylic ink. Well, OK, I've tried my 0.25mm tip one with the sepia ink...

And it works really nicely on paper and minis. Based on this I'm willing to give other colours a go and if it flows in a 0.25, there should be no problem with the bigger tips. I'm hoping to get quite a lot more use out of my Rotrings now I've found these inks work in them. I've found a 0.25 is just about the upper limit for line work on faces. I'm tempted to look for a 0.18 or a 0.15 to add to my set.

Hope this helps,

Mitch

I've yet to run into any bleeding issues with my pigma brand pens.

I have not sprayed them with an enamel yet though.

Hey guys,

Thanks for sharing. I'm intrigued! I went out and picked one up today and shall give them a try tonight :-)

Cheers,

Tenz
