Inkssentials White Pigment Pen vs. Signo & Galaxy

Going to take a break from the Ink Blending Tool today and answer a few questions on Ranger's new Inkssentials White Pigment pen.

I've gotten several questions about the pen it's self and how it compairs to the Signo from Uni-Ball & Galaxy Marker from American Crafts. Well, rather than tell you what I think, I'm going to show you instead. I pulled lots of different types of paper from my scrap basket and tried all three pens side by side. You will be able to see for yourself the difference between each pen.

Just a few things to keep in mind. I did not start on a scrap piece then write my words, I simply uncapped the pen and wrote on each piece of paper. I wanted to show how the pen performed immediately, right off the bat. I would suggest that you always start any pen on a scrap piece of paper when you're using it "for real" so you don't mess up a great project with a finishing touch.

So, here you go.....

observations: for some reason inks seem to soak into this paper.

Well, there you have it!

Side by side results.

I'll leave it up to you to decide which pen you'd rather use.

I know that personally once I used the Inkssentials Pen I'm not going to miss my Signo (or the frustrations) of using it!
