The shimmer in this ink is awesome. It writes consistently and smoothly and I love it.

Very pretty pen. Writes really good. Pretty gold color. Just what I wanted for my Christmas cards!!

First, I am a paper freak. Second, I am a pen freak. When the New York Times featured an article about these Uni-Ball Signo pens, I just had to have them, even though I have more than three dozen pens from various doctors' offices, press events, giveaways, etc. Because of the write-up, I never expected Jet Pens to have them in stock...but lo and behold, they did!!! And I do love these pens.They've evenly and smoothly glided over every textured paper I have tested them on, they're comfy in hand, and if you have nice handwriting as I do, they can serve a multitude of handwriting needs. Go for them. They're terrific and so is Jet Pens. ( I ordered many different colors.)

worked great on black paper

Lays down solid, shimmering gold. What else could you want from this pen? It's not watery or milky, it's not randomly imperfect. Every single time I've needed to use it, it fills every bit I've needed gold and shimmery with gold and shimmer. It's taken a long time for me to find a "gold" ink that is CONSISTENT and will cover even cover dark lines. I've only had to go over solid black Sharpie once more to get full coverage (wait until the gold dries).
