SAKURA 3D Soufflé Pen - 3-D Pen for Lettering, Drawing, Line Borders, Ornaments, & More - Opaque White and Pastel Ink Colors - 10 Pack

Sakura is the best gel pen brand you can buy. These souffle pens are so cute and nice. I've wanted some pastel colored markers or pens for a while, but it's really hard to find true pastel colors, but these gel pens manage to do it. The ink is very opaque, even the white, which is nice because you don't have to waste a ton of ink to get a solid line. The souffle pens also bubble up into a 3D image, which is something different and fun compared to most gel pens.They write super smoothly, no skipping or blotches of ink coming out at once. I'd really love to get some more Gelly Roll pens, but unfortunately, they are quite expensive as far as gel pens go, but it is definitely true that you get what you pay for. Cheap gel pens don't write well, have bad colors, skip or cause ink splotches, the ink runs out really fast, etc., and that never happens with these, so they are actually worth the money. I like to use them for doodling in my art journal, making cards, writing in my planner, and once in a while, coloring adult coloring books. I am conscious of coserving the ink, and I don't know if I have to be that careful or not, but I tend to not use them in adult coloring books as much as I do cheaper gel pens, even though I like them way more, haha.Highly recommended!

Adore these!! But you have to know they're called "soufflé" for a reason!! When you write, the ink is pretty much invisible on black paper. The color then "rises" very slowly, like a soufflé puffing up, and within a minute (maybe a little longer....) it is fully visible!The colors are very pastel, even paler than the colors of the pen caps in this picture of the product, and oh so sweet and delicate. I wouldn't imagine using these on anything other than colored paper because I can't imagine they'll show up on white paper. I write in my black paper journal a lot, so I haven't wanted waste ink on an experiment I am pretty darn positive will fail.I hope any bad review is mitigated by this review since you need to know what you're getting into before you purchase these! The description provided by Sakura really fails on this product, unfortunately.The only down side I would note is that there's a flip side to the "cuteness" of the soufflé-like ink drying: when I write in my journal, when I reach the bottom of the page, I blow in the ink to encourage it to dry quicker. It's a little annoying to sit there and hold my thoughts, BUT, it also gives me a chance to really select the right words. So it's kind of a benefit and a detriment....But I love love love these overall!! It looks really terrific on black paper, and I can also imagine them on colors like amethyst, fuchsia, ocean blue..... Any bold, jewel tone, or dark paper I assume it will look terrific on.They're supposed to be FUN!! Remember that and channel your inner tween ;)

The soufflé pens are very nice to write with and DO write on multiple surfaces. However, I would suggest having a piece of scrap paper with you if you intend to write on something smooth like glass or plastic. The ball can't really get traction on smooth surfaces, so you sometimes need to scribble a bit to get the ink flowing. The colors come out as roughly the same color as the cap but turn paler as they dry. The result is matte, milky, and opaque. Because of the way the colors turn out, I would recommend using these pens on black or dark colored paper, since they don't have nearly as much of a punch on paler colors.The results depends very heavily on the material you are using. The ink doesn't actually puff up--it just doesn't absorb into the paper as much as other thinks and dries like a glaze. Thus, you will see a more pronounced effect when writing on non-porous surfaces but these surfaces will also take longer to dry. When writing on paper, I find that it takes about 30 seconds for the ink to dry for standard notebook paper, and up to 3 minutes for dense, smoother papers. I have not yet tried it on photo paper, but I would imagine that the ink would take even longer to dry. It has a noticeably raised texture and tends to be rather durable for everyday use---if you actually let it dry, and if you clean the writing surface off of any oils or residues.The pens say that they have not been tested for writing on skin--and I wouldn't suggest using them for that purpose. Not only do they simply not WRITE, but the oils on your skin could very well ruin the pen. Furthermore, the ink seems like it would be rather difficult to wash off.You CAN layer this pen over itself, just be very careful. When the top layer is wet, rubbing it will take off the bottom layers as well. The higher you build it up, the easier it is to rub off, and the longer it takes to try. I would suggest giving any project a 2 hour "curing" time, just to be sure. While the doubt the ink dries any more than it does initially on thinner layers, on thicker layers, it really helps, since sometimes the surface dries faster than the rest of the ink.Overall, it does what it says. Whether you want to spend this amount on a decorational pen is up to you, but I'd imagine it would be more useful for the creatively-minded.

I'm fine being honest with this product from a large company-- jelly roll makes delicious products, very fun to work with. I was just surprised by how clear the inks are before drying. If you're working on dark paper, you won't see the end result for a few minutes, which makes it frustrating if you're trying to doodle in a precise manner. On the other hand, what beautiful end results! The soft pastel colors show up vividly on any color surface, eventually, with a shiny embossed finish that is yummy and satisfying.

The colours dry completely opaque and I have been using them to label all my electronics, tripods and jars. They write better on textured surfaces and take about 3mins to fully dry. Had some issues if it peeling off but for the most part they’re just so fun to use! Brings back childhood memories

Llegó en tiempo estipulado y bien empacado. Respecto al producto, Gelly Roll siempre es garantía de calidad. Súper contenta con esta gama, solo la he utilizado en hojas negras ya que para eso la compré y es simplemente increíble como se desliza en el papel y el color que queda con dimensión. Una vez seco no despinta ni pierde dimensión, la uso hojas de 90 gr y no traspasa. El punto es grueso, tomarlo en cuenta si lo que buscan es trazos finos. Sin duda la volvería a comprar.

Amazing colors !!!! Thanks so much

Los colores son hermosos. No son plumas normales, van dejando una capa de tinta que hay que dejar secar con cuidado y el resultado es un relieve precioso. Son un poco caras, pero son ideales para decorar

The media could not be loaded.  I love these soufflé gel pens! The colors are vibrant on black paper as the Gelly Roll Moonlight gel pens, which is exactly what I was looking for. I found I had to do three so I could get soufflé look. One, was to float the pen on the surface instead of applying pressure like you do when writing with a regular pen. The more you can float the pen more ink will come out. Second, Was to go slowly.Third,allow it time to dry. I’ve attached a video which I hope helps. Also, try not to drop a gel pen, it.can make a bubble form which will then prevent the gel from coming out. Shipping was fact as well. I would highly recommend these gel pens - they are fun, and provide your art work a different texture which is really cool! I hope this review helps!
