Leaky, bubbles ink out of tip, lack luster overall
In my mission to find a decent white highlighter pen, I thought I was onto something with a brand I trust & have bought pens from before, but unfortunately this one didn't live up to the name.
It is good quality white pigment in a good sized cartridge however it falls flat in performance, for when you follow the guidelines on how to use it, lightly squeezing the cartridge (like you're supposed to) causes the ink bubble out two gaps immediately behind the brush head (once dripping onto my work so PO'd about that) and even when attempting to create a brush stroke it fails to apply a decent coat often needing more than one.
The only way I've found around that shortfall is to unscrew the brush tip and essentially dip it into the cartridge to have an even amount, which isn't very practical since this piece is quite short and defeats the point of having the pen at all!!!
I don't understand how they could screw up & over complicate the tip like this and consider it marketable, so that would be the first thing to be changed!
