Felt tip, hate them or love them.

I can't say I am a fan, but then I can't say I hate felt tip pens either.  They have their uses and I like them for that. 

 

I will say the best thing I did with my Mont Blank rollerball pen was replace the rollerball refill with a felt tip refill.  I almost never used the pen because I didn't like the way the rollerball wrote.  To use an American expression, the felt tip is, 'Mo betta!'

For some artwork I do, the coloring is done with Crayola markers.  But we have to make sure that the coloring is done light to dark, so the darker colors don't, for instance, bleed into the tip of the yellow marker.

I really like writing with the edding 1200, the feeling, the noise...it is slightly too thick to use at every moment, though.

About the only ones I ever use are sharpies,

 

I HATE the feeling of writing on paper with a sharpie, but for metal, glass, or even wood they're fine.

I will confess that in the 1970s when they were new, I used them all the time and loved them. But I am pleased to say that I grew out of the habit.

Never really cared for felt tips. The tips were too easy to mess up and tended to splatter and become unusable.

As my macular degeneration increased, I found it harder to see and read what I wrote with fountain pens and ballpoint pens.  The Cross select tip medium porous point refill in my Select Tip pen became very useful.  I have always liked this pen with this refill despite that the point wears down fairly quickly.
