The pentel energel is also good, it doesn’t smear with the zebra mild liner on cheap paper, also jetpens I have a question why does the ergonomic uni jet steam pen only come in 0.5
Definitely Zebra Sarasa Mark On is my favorite one! it has smooth ink as the sarasa clip but also doesn't smear under hightliter! I mean, I really can highlighting immediately after writing. Perfect for note taking and color coding ^^
When mentioning the dry time for fountain pens, it’s always good to mention blotting paper. I’m always surprised by how many fountain pen users aren’t aware of it. A sheet of blotting paper stuck into each notebook is a must for fountain pen fans.
@@dizzylbnt It is reusable. I’m sure there is a point at which you’ll want to replace it, but I’ve filled at least a couple of notebooks with a single sheet. Though I suppose your pen, ink, & paper could have a big impact on that. We bought a single pack when we got into fountain pens a few years back, and we haven’t used it up yet.
@@RobertFisher1969 thanks so much for teaching me! Appreciate it! I recently started using a fountain pen that I received as a gift so I'm still learning a lot, but I'll definitely be getting my hands on some blotting paper soon :D
@@dizzylbnt Glad to help. Other things to look into to mitigate drying time are different inks (many ink reviewers will do a dry-time test), different pens, & finer nibs. Although using a non-fountain pen when you need fast drying & saving the fountain pens for when you don’t is also an option. In any case, you’ll have a fun journey finding out what works for you.
Pilot Precise V5 has been one of my favorites for so many years. Wish refills would be available for all the colors. Really like Sarasa also but of course looking forward to trying the others you mentioned.
I actually prefer the pilot frixion range over any of these guys, the finer sizes might be scratchier than preferred, but the range of colors is great for color coding and the erasability is essential for me. Although now I take notes digitally to save my back....😅
Great video! I personally favor the Kaweko Perkeo fountain pen with Forest Green Noodler's Ink. It takes a little longer to dry, but so far it's been a source of anti-skipping salvation as I speed-cursive along at mach 9.
My biggest gripe about a lot of pens is how low capacity some of the refills are. As much as I love zebra pens, their refills have about 1/3 the ink of some other pen refills. Pilot and pentel seem to have decent sized refills.
Hello! I was wondering if you guys were able to make a video about the best pens/highlighter combos that work with the Kokuyo Campus Loose Paper? I am currently using the uni-ball AIR micro and mark+ two tone color marker (per your guy's recommendation) and I love it! Was just curious if there were more combos out there. Thanks for the video :D
The v5 hold a special place in my heart. When u was growing up my dad worked at a factory and used them the wright with because it could Wright on things that might have got oil on it. He always had then on him and laying around the house.
Thank you! I have been taking notes more neatly! I also use the “ballpoint uni pen”! But my uni ballpoint pen was very old, so it came scratchy. But I do recommend uni ballpoint pen! Thank you so much every second!
Great video! Though I was expecting the Pentel Energel to come up! >< To me, it has been one of the best pens for note taking! It wont smear with highlighters, very vibrant colors and super comfortable in the hand!
I was very interested in the Pilot Acroball Spotliter 3 Color Ballpoint Multi Pen + Highlighter but when I checked the store page I found that they weren't there. I guess I'll buy it somewhere else
Preppy Pens: Pros- Cheap, pretty ink color choices, sturdy, nice ink flow on toothy paper. Cons- the ink likes to skip on some nicer paper notebooks like Maruman Mnemosyne notebooks (my favorite).
Virtually any well tuned fountain pen with a well behaved ink like Noodlers Black or J. Herbin Lie de The. A good roller ball requires little force to get it to write, but a well tuned fountain pen barely touches the paper. Does wonders for repetitive motion issues related to hand writing.
For me I the best I use for note taking is Pilot Precise V5 Pens, I found it very smooth and helpful. Can you make a video about the best pens, tools and pencil we can use for architecture and interior hand sketching.
It wouldn’t be jetpens if there wasn’t a mention for Jetstream. But recently I found some of the Jetstream Pens ink fades and becomes lighter and lighter long before the ink runs out. Did I buy a defective pack or is this a common problem? And how could I fix this?
I just got a few Uniball One F and Uniball One P Gel Pens from Jet Pens and I am having some trouble with skipping and scratchy writing. I have tried them in my Hobonichi Cousin (tomoe river paper) and Kokuyo Campus notebook. I was really looking forward to these pens being my go to writing implements. Could anyone offer any pointers on what paper works best for them or tricks to get them to write more consistently? Or is this brand just not as good as originally reported by Jet Pens? Thanks for your help!
What about black fountain pen ink that can be highlighted after it dries? I have tried a ton and they all smeared. I’m beginning to wonder if there is even such a thing.
We recommend checking out waterproof fountain pen inks or using gel/dry highlighters! We have a guide to them: www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Best-Waterproof-Fountain-Pen-Inks/pt/829
woww nice video..many various bolpoints showing in this video that i’m never seen before..😳 thanks,,your video is my inspiration to grow up my channel that have many pencil life hack videos..🙏😊 keep up spirit 👍
sorry if I sound dumb but what's the difference between Sarasa Dry and Sarasa Markon? I know that Dry is for fast drying and Markon is for highlighting, but if the Dry is fast drying, would it not gonna smear when highlight too? they are both gel-pens, water-based, so dry means no smear... right?
I think the ink types are specific to highlighting with the mark on pen as they dry instantaneously whereas the sarasa dry still has slightly wetter ink when u first put it on the paper however most people won't really notice the difference so they are technically the same. hope that helps! :)
I would really like to hear from any left-handers who use fountain pens. They don't work well for me and not just because of the smearing; I think it's because I'm pushing the nib around more than dragging, since I'm left handed. Is that a normal issue for us, or is it me?
Hi there! You might find our blog (written by one of our left-handed staff members!) helpful: www.jetpens.com/blog/Can-Left-Handed-Writers-Use-Fountain-Pens/pt/224
I've found the Uni Jetstream is the best for Tomoe River. The Sarasa MarkON is also good. Both dry quickly, don't smear, and stand up to highlighting on the TR paper.
Ngl, that sarasa leftie-friendly pen is lookin real good right now…. I don’t know if I could give up the V5 though. I got one by chance from a local store a few years ago and it became an instant favorite for the super thick and juicy, almost marker like ink.
What pens do you use for note-taking? Let us know in the comments! See more of our recs here: to.jetpens.com/3jMu020
i use gel pens 😁
I enjoyed the fountain pens with the number of colour and size options, but I know they were all beautiful as I’m a sucker for any stationery items.
I use Pentel Energel 0.7 they are the best
Flair ball point pens
I use the Papermate Inkjoy Gel 0.7
The pentel energel is also good, it doesn’t smear with the zebra mild liner on cheap paper, also jetpens I have a question why does the ergonomic uni jet steam pen only come in 0.5
They come in 0.3, 0.5,& 0.7 and you can always just add the refill in the tip size you prefer.
I use the pentel energel too, it's flow is so nice to write with.
Seriously love my Energel pens! They are such a delight to write with.
@@gabrielluciano6429 no i mean the ones with the squishy grip those only come in 0.7 while the others come in more
I love that pen! But everytime some of them break.
Definitely Zebra Sarasa Mark On is my favorite one! it has smooth ink as the sarasa clip but also doesn't smear under hightliter! I mean, I really can highlighting immediately after writing. Perfect for note taking and color coding ^^
ah yes, more pens I definitely wouldn't use that much
Relatable
Hehe....
As a leftie, I adore the Pentel Energel because it dries super fast and it doesn't smear with a lot of highlighters. No blue or black side!
When mentioning the dry time for fountain pens, it’s always good to mention blotting paper. I’m always surprised by how many fountain pen users aren’t aware of it. A sheet of blotting paper stuck into each notebook is a must for fountain pen fans.
Thanks! I'd never heard of it :) Is blotting paper reusable or do I need a new sheet for each page?

I have to write down notes really fast sometimes when a professor is speaking quickly. How do you use the blotting paper in a time efficient way?
The preppy is the perfect gateway fountain pen, very smooth and easy to use.
As a lefty, I love my Sarasa Dry and Sarasa Vintage! I also think Energels and Kaweco Sports are LIFE.
Pilot Precise V5 has been one of my favorites for so many years. Wish refills would be available for all the colors. Really like Sarasa also but of course looking forward to trying the others you mentioned.

after watching this video:

my pencil case: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
Buy some more cases too
Love this channel so much !
You’re right about the pilot precise pen. Ever since I’ve got my first it’s been in my everyday carry
I really like the pentel energel x, especially the 0.4. It's really smooth and works well with cursive.
I actually prefer the pilot frixion range over any of these guys, the finer sizes might be scratchier than preferred, but the range of colors is great for color coding and the erasability is essential for me. Although now I take notes digitally to save my back....😅
Really want these pens :(
The Uni-ball One is one of my favourite non-FP pens! And the "my brain!" doodle is a MOOD.
Great video! I personally favor the Kaweko Perkeo fountain pen with Forest Green Noodler's Ink. It takes a little longer to dry, but so far it's been a source of anti-skipping salvation as I speed-cursive along at mach 9.
Thanks for sharing!
wasn't mentioned in this video, but I love using pilot's frixion gel pens (particularly the slims!) for annotating
I own every single one of the pens and highlighters mentioned and I still can choose a favorite lol.
damn, which is your fav pen?
My biggest gripe about a lot of pens is how low capacity some of the refills are. As much as I love zebra pens, their refills have about 1/3 the ink of some other pen refills. Pilot and pentel seem to have decent sized refills.
Here’s a suggestion,
Why not just use a Pilot or Pentel Energel refill in the Zebra Sarasa pen.
Hey! Morning glory is a flower's name. Great!👍🏻 That pen literally deserves this name.

I like that they acknowledged the reality of doodling on notes lol
You've gotta try Direct-Fill Ball Pen for Note-Taking ! 😅
That little doodle on 4:28 looks like an anime character 👀

I like the v5
Pilot Acroball and Uni Jet stream are some really great 🖊 🖊.
Really all very nice >>>>>> Thank you .
I want them all!

Platinum preppy all different ink colours n tip sizes ❤️
oh my god that first smear broke my heart
Love Uniball
Idk why I even watch these videos
Most of these products aren't even available in my city
ig the videos are just satisfying to watch
What notebook is that? It looks really nice
I love all the pens and there color
can you make a video about pilot acroball with highlighters??? I am very confused if should buy it.
OH MY GOD PLEASE DO RECC STATIONARIES FOR LEFT HANDERS!! 😭👌
Should I write smaller or bigger
Depends on what your comfortable with
The Platinum Preppy [so impressed with it I bought the Plaisir] & the cartridge version of the Pilot Precise.
What is the red pencilcase in the background?? I'm in love with it
That's a Raymay Gloire Leather Pen Case! www.jetpens.com/Raymay-Gloire-Leather-Pen-Cases/ct/2322

I think they will go to millions of subscribes one day 😘
Were we have to buy
I have question, again. Does the Zebra Sarasa Mark on gel pen last a good amount of time?
The many supplies you guys have would be a absolute haven to my greedy hoarding self.
Me casually looking at all the preppy fountain pens:
“Oh, I have those!”
Please tell me a pen which is retractable + long lasting
What about black fountain pen ink that can be highlighted after it dries? I have tried a ton and they all smeared. I’m beginning to wonder if there is even such a thing.

*You have sm pretty things!*

woww nice video..many various bolpoints showing in this video that i’m never seen before..😳
thanks,,your video is my inspiration to grow up my channel that have many pencil life hack videos..🙏😊

I like the gel ink pens and rollerball pens better
I like to write in small and bold writing. Depends on mood...lol
sorry if I sound dumb but what's the difference between Sarasa Dry and Sarasa Markon? I know that Dry is for fast drying and Markon is for highlighting, but if the Dry is fast drying, would it not gonna smear when highlight too? they are both gel-pens, water-based, so dry means no smear... right?

The Sarasa Dry dries quickly, but isn't necessarily resistant to highlighters. The Mark On is built specifically for use with highlighters.
Can I get these pens in store?
We sell all the products on our site! You can find them here: to.jetpens.com/2XWPemg
@@JetPens Alright, thank you
Do you guys sell the acrylic drawer that's at the beginning of the video?
Hi there! We do not, we buy our supplies from IKEA or The Container Store.
Hi! I was wondering which among these bleeds the least? Especially among thinner papers. Is Sarasa or Energel better?
Hi there! Both pens tend not to bleed, but you might like the Zebra Sarasa more. If you use a finer tip size as well, the ink should not bleed at all.
I think style fit multi pens look cute and 2 way marker pens but I use gel pens I also have some 2 way marker pens but not they’re not cute
Can anyone suggest a pen that is like the LAMY grip but lower price. Thank you 🙏🏼
Can anyone figure out what those two notebooks in the background are?

Please do a video for ‘best pen for tomoe river paper’
I've found the Uni Jetstream is the best for Tomoe River. The Sarasa MarkON is also good. Both dry quickly, don't smear, and stand up to highlighting on the TR paper.
I will also buy how can I buy please reply
You can buy the pens on our website, which we link in the video description! to.jetpens.com/2XWPemg
Put your finger down if you live in inida and each of these cost over a 1000 and 2000 rupees
I'm a pen enthusiast now
It’s Impossible to pick a Favourite Pen and pen brand!😓
In india platinum preppy is 350
I need a pen with a good grip. I have 2 huge blisters in my fingers from using pens and pencils.
