Well, while I had the pens out, I thought I'd do a brief writing sample from each. To me this shows the way the nib handles the ink and the colors that the pens come with as well, so, while it is an ink comparison, I consider it also a review of how well the pen itself can be used as a technique for forming a basis of comparison, ruling out or at least minimizing nib variations in the comparison. Note that several of these are highlighting inks and IMO except for the yellow, can be used to both highlight and to write text in margins. The highlighter inks work well for highlighting smaller print as well and especially for thin paper (Bibles, some medical books like the Merck Manual) reduce bleedthrough since less ink is depositied than with the highlighter tips.

More great pics!

Completely OT, but I have a set of pencil hilighters from Levenger's. NO bleed-though whatever.

I was trying to explain to my wife why I had so many Preppys. I'll just show her the collection in your photo.

I was looking at a Pentel multi highlighter with 8 leads in it, but the closeups on them on paper look like wax crayons. I enjoy writing with a fountai8n more.

Possumhill, tell her I'm going to get some more (to do some ink swaps) That's very funny.

I filled that empty Preppy with Hunter Green (at the bottom).
