Uni-ball UM 153 Signo Broad Point Gel Pen - White - Pack of 3

The white pens work nicely on dark envelopes for mailing. They wrote smoothly and have nice weight to them. The pens have a decent amount of ink making them well priced for the 3 pack. Nice grip and durable design. I'm a repeat customer and would highly recommend others to purchase.

Excellent pens. Not as fine as I thought they would be ,but still work wonderfully. Will definitely buy again.

I haven't found another white gel pen that compares to these. They are literally perfect. Lots of ink in them, gorgeous opaque white tone - wonderful for blending and highlighting with other gel pens and even with felt tips or markers in the right circumstances, and great by itself on colored or dark paper/cardboard. ALSO they have a bold enough point and the ink runs so very smoothly, that you can use them on so many other surfaces besides paper. I use them on leather shoes and accessories, soft or medium-soft rubber-type plastics (like the outsides of phone cases and bluetooth speakers, parts of shoes, toys, ETC), and they even work wonderfully on fabrics. Of course they are not permanent ink so anything that you wash or that is exposed to much friction won't be a long-term thing, unless of course you cover with something like clear tape or nail polish. I'm so in love with these pens, and I am not the type of person who pays $2 per pen unless they are really, really, really worth it. Even the white Gelly Rolls (which are overall the best brand of gel pens with all factors considered - price, color selection, versatility, and co-usability of different varieties are the important ones) pale in comparison to these.

Love these pens. Have ordered several times.

I've tried other white pens and find that I keep coming back to these. At times it's sketchy in the flow but it works well. It gives a good white color on top of other colors. I use it a lot so it runs out. They don't fill the ink to the top of pen. The barrel is clear so you can see where the ink is before use. I don't like it for that reason.

These are excellent white ink pens, and I use them often in my pen and ink art. They surprised me at how well they work, especially considering some of the negative reviews talk about how their ink isn't consistent, is too thin, or dries up. I've had my pens for several months now, and they haven't dried out or clogged up (though I could see how they could clog up if you don't cap them or don't do anything for the little ball tip when ink starts to build up, but that's not different from other technical pens I use).I was quite surprised when using this pen at first to describe snow falling on top of a dead, crumpled flower in a quick single panel comic I did—over india ink, it works extremely well. One might need to use another layer if one needs a thicker white, but other than that, I was very pleased.The work with the moon and the flower was a more thorough test of what could be done with the pen. Again, over an india ink background. The moon took two passes but the ability to build up texture was excellent in giving the moon a cratery grain. It was easy enough to write as well, and the finer white lines on the branch was done via going over the white lines in black again to partially obscure them. Pretty excellent.The rather intensely colored work did show off a bit of their weakness with regards to covering up color—I didn't want a completely opaque series of dots to represent the sparse cherry blossom, but they did require a second pass to get the right level of opacity. A third or fourth dot would have purely white, I think.All in all, I greatly enjoy these pens, and have incorporated them into my regular art workflow.

Thankfully a product a product that does the job. White out or white ink pens do not always do the job advertised. The ink flows freely out of this pen, this is very important and covers up fine lines and smaller areas effectively.

This review is made in comparison to the Sakura White Gelly Roll, which is what I’ve been using exclusively up until now.PROS:• Even and consistent ink flow.• Very opaque.• Rubber grip and thicker barrel makes it much more comfortable and ergonomic.• Can go over lines and do multiple layers to make sections thicker.CONS:• Pen tip is much larger (1.0 mm) compared to what most people are used to on a Gelly Roll• Distributes a lot of ink (takes some getting used to).• Slightly longer drying time.I was skeptical of the Signo making that much of a difference compared to the Gelly Roll but it surprised me. With both pens, I always do a little “warm-up” scribble before I go into an art piece — but with the Signo, I can rely on the ink flow to stay consistent and even until I’m done with it. If not, I can easily go back to areas that need touching up without ruining the ink I already laid down. With the Gelly Roll it would skip frequently and when I went over another area again, it would always scratch the ink already in the process of drying — this often turned a small touch up into a larger problem.The Signo is also a lot more comfortable. Often times, my hand would cramp up with a Gelly Roll because of its skinny barrel. Especially since I would have to spend more time with it going over areas to make the lines more opaque or filling in areas the ink skipped. With a Signo, I usually only have to make one pass.Yes, the Signo produces a much bolder line than a Gelly Roll — because of that it does release a lot of ink and needs a little longer drying time. It’ll also take a bit to get used to and familiar with so you can control it and know what to expect when you detail/write.Overall the Signo is a great alternative to the Gelly Roll. It’s now my go-to pen, although I still plan to always keep at least one Gelly Roll pen nearby for times I need to do very small details.
