AE Reviews: Testing White Pens For Scrapbooking
Tags:
Jet Pens was kind enough to recently send me four different white pens to test out from their favorites. Here's a list of the ones I tried both on cardstock and on a photo:
Uni-Ball Signo Angelic Colour
Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip
Uni-Ball Signo
Pilot Latte
The third one, the Uni-Ball Signo, definitely seemed to go on the
best on both the cardstock & the photo (the examples on the photo are in the same order as above).
In my stash I still have a few of the Sharpie Poster Paint Pens (supposedly discontinued) that I have used on a variety of projects in the past. This site still has some of the white ones in stock. Dick Blick also still has some in stock (except white).
I did see on the Sharpie website that they have a new water-based paint pen. I will probably give that one a try too. Anyone tried this one yet? I especially liked how those poster paint pens worked on my photos and will be interested to see if this works in the same way.
Any other white pens you are using and loving these days?

I like the Uniball Signo a lot. Works well on black cardstock.
It helps to store these kind of pens cap down.

Uniball is good. I also like glaze pens: they go onto photos and paper and are a little raised when dry (pretty quickly) and you have color choices too. And then there is a white "chalk" pen I have somewhere. It shows up great on dark paper. But the trick is you can't see it at first and then is fades in!

I find the Ranger Inkssentials best because I like the finer line.

I just went to Michael's yesterday to buy a white pen! I ended up buying one of the Sakura gelly roll ones but I will definitely have to get the Signo pen now!

oh my goodness. this is awesome to see so many pen lovers out there. i just told my husband, this is why i love blogging! i was just commissioned to handwrite some wedding invitation envelopes and the bride requested white ink and thanks to your post, am no longer scared to death. am going to try out the favorites listed here. thank you!
as for a good black pen. for journaling and a smooth fine line, my absolute favorite is the black 0.7 pilot p-700. available at any office supply store. really, i adore this pen to the nth degree. can't wait to hear your picks. xo.

The Uni-ball Signo is my absolute favorite white journal pen! I have used up 3 so far! I did try the sharpies a couple years ago, but I didn't get reliable results. Sometimes it came out in a puddle on my project! Maybe they were old stock from the store where I purchased?

The Uni-ball Signo works well but I mainly use Sharpies water based paint marker. I love them since they come in a few thicknesses but I typically like a thicker line work for my hand writing.
Love the sharpie ones!!!

Thank you so much for the info...I have been in the market for good white pens for months...had tried a few that I didn't like, so I am happily going to try the Uniball Signo & I also ordered one of the white Sharpies (which I had been looking for for forever)!
