6 of the pens were dry and scratchy which was very disappointing as I have used these pens for years and these were the worst batch ever.

That may have been the issue with those others, or maybe they got a bad batch.

Makes me wonder if I received a bad batch

I figured this was just a bad batch, no problem

(Sorry to those people that got a bad batch of dry pens, super disappointing.

Pros:- Slightly sturdier feeling than Stabilo (like the shape better)- Don't bleed as much as

They're great for coloring as they don't bleed through the way other markers do (unless you press way too hard or go over one spot way too many times

Be careful if you are drawing over pencil though, as they will smudge if you don't give enough drying time before erasing the pencil underneath

I use them to color as well as to color code my planner

Keep in mind, that the camera won't pick up pigmentation as well as in person

They DO NOT BLEED out as you are coloring.

Not as great as I had hoped.

Some don't work as

and so I know what colour they really work as
