A wide choice of really vibrant colours and good flow throughout when using them. They dry fast, they don't blob or run dry. I'd buy them again 👍

Incredible 10/10 x

I was really excited to get these pens because of the nice colour selection available, when compared to similar products. Aside from the fact that there is only one red colour.My initial impressions were that the pens looked great, if a little small. They had clearly been stored vertically as all the white pigment was stuck around the nib of the pen. A good tip is to always store these horizontally, because when the pigment settles at the top or bottom it is hard to remix. The mixing bead isn’t very heavy, so it takes some work. I missed the satisfying clicking of other pens I’ve got.Because of this, I struggled to remix them, and on first use (picture one) they tended to be quite translucent even after multiple layers. I think I didn’t do a perfect job so the outcome was disappointing. Some colours are better than others- I’ve struggled with getting a smooth result with the yellows. I would comment that the colours dry down a bit muted compared to others I’ve tired. Lid colour is not always reflecting the final dried down outcome.On further testing I revised my opinion, I’ve got to like them more and more (picture 2)My tips for getting the best out of them:1. Each time you mix them make sure all pigment is evenly mixed2. Hold the pen at the lid and swing it in a wide arc to get all the pigment stuck in the nib end to flow to the barrel. This helps the colours be more opaque.3. Bash both ends of the pen against your palm, this helps to jerk any settled pigment loose.4. Shake it more than you feel is reasonable.5. Have a sheet of strong paper next to you (picture 3) you will need to write to get the nib flowing. Don’t press down more than necessary or it will leak blobs of paint and the nib gets oversaturated. If this happens dab the nib on some kitchen roll. This aspect does seem to waste quite a lot of ink in general. As does cleaning the nib which is recommend from time to time.6. Make sure that a layer is fully dry before trying to layer the paint. You can build opacity but if the paint isn’t dry the nib will scratch into the base layer. These seem to take a bit of time to dry fully, but also it might be because it’s cold in my flat.Anyway, to sum up these pens are worth the money. They aren’t perfect, but the outcome can be made to work.I’ll make pros and cons listPros:nice colour selection,Fine nibsFlows wellCan be layeredClear barrel so you can see paintMatte/satin finishNice silver and gold, sort of satin and reflectiveClean to useCons:Some colours are better than others. My single red is awful- sticky finish. Yellows are difficult to achieve opaque non streaky results tooSome colours are less opaque and need more layersInk wastage when priming pens or cleaning nibsColours slightly mutedPens are small (although I’ve not noticed them running out fast after various projects)No storage bagColours dry down different to lid colourPens are not numbered

The pens are so good, they stay on and the paint dries quickly.. lovely colours

Bought them to use on wood slices. Good flow and colours

After trying pens which did not do the job, these pens are a joy to use. The colours are vibrant, cover the surface and cover other colours well and flow smoothly.I have only one gripe, which has nothing to do with the quality of the pens, and that is the fact that there is no indication on the barrel of the pens what colour the paint is. If the lids were to get mixed up, it could be a problem identifying the colours.But all in all, a great product.

I got these to do the details on a custom guitar paint job. The yellow background and the red of the headstock were done using an airbrush but the rest of the paint job was done with the artistro pens. Some colours require much more shaking to mix but they give a good even coverage. They also didn't react negatively with some pretty harsh 2k clear coat which I was worried about. Good quality and very good value pens.

Overall good pens but got some on my trousers and its now a permanent mistake...washed them immediately with Vanish and a heavy duty stain remover before hand and its still not budging. Do not forget to put the cap back on! Good testiment to the pens i guess but still ruined a bew pair of trousers. Not the sacrifice i was willing to make for my art
