    I have purchsed 2 gold and 2 bronze. They worked for the first time and then after that the paint wouldnt flow to the nib. Its like after the first use the nib becomes dry and hard and cannot absorb any more paint. These are like 10 bucks Australian, it would be great if the company addressed why this is happening. Followed the intructions to the letter and it still happens.

    Not a great value- expensive pen that won't put down ink, a waste of my time and paper to "revive" it, and I have yet to be able to use a single pen until it is empty. I avoid this product.

  • @purplepaisleypassion

    I have to agree with the complaints of others. Why charge so much for pens that require this "reviving" process on a regular basis? Why not just make a quality product in the first place?????

    Hands down my absolute favorite mechanical pencil! I recommend it (or supply it) to all my students when teaching nature journaling, urban sketching, or botanical and scientific illustration classes. Been using it for years! It does not clog with broken lead or micro particles, and the foam eraser is gentle on even the finest cotton paper! Can’t say enough…and there’s so much more to say too!

    I love the 003 for stippling. And I sometimes swap a 003 nib from a black micron into the grey toned microns because they dont offer the greys in 003......yet? (The greys are amazing for background/depth.) The only problem I have with the 003 is that they do get plugged/damaged easily. Usually before the ink runs out. No matter how gentle I am or how smooth the paper, I'm constantly dipping them in rubbing alcohol, blowing the other end of the nib to push out the clog, (and sometimes accidentally creating a airlock so it won't refill with ink again. Ugh), or trying to unclog with a pin, which inevitably, if badly blocked changes the line width. So I really wish that they would sell extra replacement nibs! Because I still really love my 003 microns!

    I buy one of these every few years. works well for an hour or so...then becomes a frustrating mess that spills globs of paint and does not work at all. Eventually throw it away and vow to never buy another. Why can't the company describe how to use these beyond the first half hour? We would probablly buy a lot more if the performance was even slightloy adequate. another frustrating mess, another few years I will not buy one. Too bad the company refuses to describe how to use it!

    To stop your ink bleeding, use better paper, stop handling the paper as the sweat from your fingers will cause bleeding and gaps in your work, and prepare your writing surface by using pounce powder. Also, put something [blotting paper] under the hand supporting the work to keep the artwork clean.
