Staedtler Triplus fineliner pen

Cheap and functional the staedtler triplus fineliner pens are a good addition to a students pencil case. Since its fast assortment of colour availability this review will focus on the black pen primarily.

● superfine long-lasting pen
● water-based ink
● 0.3 mm line
● metal-clad tip and ergonomic triangular barrel
● advertises effortless and fatigue-free usage
● ideal for long time writing and or drawing
● advertises to be dry safe with ISO 554 tests meaning it can be left uncapped for days without drying ip
● advertises to be aeroplane safe thanks to automatic pressure equalisation, preventing in flight leaks.
●washes out of most textiles.
● applying water results in massive ink wash in blues, greys and purple inks.

Although this product is advertised to be dry safe. I can confirm that it took some time to revive the pen after letting it "dry" for two days. The nib was very hard for atleast an hour before easing back into its regular use. As far as being aeroplane safe. Turns out Glasgow is rather serious about not taking your pens on board so I had to bin them... meanwhile I could purchase a Bic biro at the WHSmith newsagents in the terminal.

○ nature of the ink makes it extremely non waterproof.
○ soft fibre nib. Under constant or heavy use can deform an edge or soften it which can change the feel when writing or drawing
○ as a result of nib deformation turning the triangular barrel can give a scratching edge or a very soft edge.
