rOtring Tikky Graphic 0.5mm Technical Drawing Fiber Pen (1904756)

Smooth inking, tip does not dig into paper whatsoever. Works very well on Strathmore bristol board designed for ink work. No cleaning or clogging. These pens have retired my mechanical, refillable pen with clogging issues and has made drawing so much simpler and quicker.

I first got into the Tikky Graphic during a trip to Europe. I bought them in bulk, and would send friends on vacation to bring a box home for me. It wasn't until Amazon that I had a reliable source to order them from.The tip is smooth and easy to write and draw on surfaces, and the pigment ink does not smear like similar pens from Pilot, Zebra, or Uniball. I always use these pens for sketches to my clients because of their consistent line and application.

pretty good but can’t hold a candle to isographs. the ink just isn’t quite black enough and i can’t go back to a felt tip. right brand, wrong product.

Rotring is still a standard I use when sketching or drawing with pen. They are remarkably well engineered and fun to use. I bought this pen to replace my rapidograph sketch pen since I can't find a replacement tip after the ink dried inside rendering unusable. So far this current pen has smooth ink transfer which I've come to know and love from rOtring, making my sketches jump onto paper without having to shake the ink into the point..3 mm is a bit thicker than I'm used to ( I love really thin lines as fine as .2 mm), but it's bold enough to see even a dim room what I'm drawing. I don't doubt this will be my go to pen from now on.

Warning to anyone looking at the description that it is not correct. Even though anyone who buys pens regularly would interpret "12 count (pack of 1)" to mean one box of 12 pens (since nearly all pens come bulk in boxes of 12), that is not true here, you are only going to get one pen. The big A made things right when I contacted them, but still waiting for the description to be updated, haven't seen it done yet.As for the pen itself, the one that I got, it really did not impress me at all. It is nothing more than another fiber tip pen.Hopefully they let this review post to warn others, and I don't get one of those vague emails about how it did not meet the requirements.

There is no pen better than the Rotring Tikki Graphic. The ink is quite dark, dries fast, and is completely waterproof. If you are a pen and ink artist, this is the pen for you. It has never bled, and it feels good in the hand, allowing for better art. I've yet to find a pen that works as well with watercolor. It also lasts a long time. I highly recommend it.

Writes so smoothly!

The rOtring Tikky Fine Liner Fiber Tip Graphic Pen, 0.3 mm, Black Ink is the best drawing pen in my box. I thought my cool fountain pens were cool... not after I've tried this pen.
