American crafts precision pen

This was another online purchase that at the time I could only find from the states so shipping was another fun filled expense.

●variety of precision fine tips with popular colours. Black, blue, brown, red, green and purple.
● advertised as being great for journaling or general purpose writing
●non bleeding and waterproof. Fade proof permanent and acid free.
●smooth, good control with a strong tip. Doesn't skip and makes good clean lines but it's best on smooth paper.
●personally I think this pen series is ideal for dot work than linework

○the writing on the barrel does fade away over time so if you want to reorder the same pens it's best to remember the model code.
○I actually find my hand cramps up terribly when I'm using this for linework and I have no idea why. But it's still amazing for dotting.
○one thing I'm not a fan of is how soft the cap clips onto the pen. I often find the cap popped off in my pencil case

■ like the pelikan pens I purchased this from dickblick.com for about $1.99 however 5 packs are available at $9.99
■ shipping from the USA is a hefty expense so try amazon and ebay
■ if you want to try these pens I'd suggest the brown and black as the brown ink is a really nice pigment and not overly dark
■ nib variety comes in 0.1 0.3 0.5 and 0.8
