Just pauper's rant, last year I got accustomed to cheapo chinesium long-nib marker pens, form factor by any means superb, but prob is: there're many producers making almost identical similar long-nib pens, but the INKING quality is very much inconsistent... Only later found out, some brands like Leto using good ink, almost identical to Sharpie; but later I bought another brand amok's cheaper and with big reservoir, but ink from amok heck sucks... Could literally swipe off spotless with my bare hand, and not smooth at all slows down the fel-tip...
Since language barrier I couldn't find any Sharpie ink reserve nearby, and for other brands I never heard of, am really scared if ink sucking like that amok pens... At last I bought some Artline brand ink reserve, seems one respected stamping brand?
And to my surprises, the Artline ink performs fantastic! When writing on smooth polished aluminum or stainless surfaces, it literally set in seconds, and super sticky erase-safe, AND one thing it felt even smoother than Sharpie, which I think is already very reliable. Smoother not only easier to use but won't die off when writing on dusty/dirty surface, it conquers. Cheers!
One small bottle cost me 69 baht but could revive tens of times of old reservoir, still good deal for pauper. Heck nowadays I just acetone rinse off old amok pens' PE reservoir clean, and fill with this Artline ink. Lucky although some brands used bad inking, but hardware-wise chinesium quality are consistently good, those sucking amok pens now became my workhorse. Now can't live without, lol
