Black pen comparison
One of our the newest store additions is Uni-Ball One. The Uni-Ball One is a gel pen with more vivid pigmented gel ink that doesn’t bleed though paper easily. And yesterday we did a test to compare the black color between different pens. Not all of the pens here are gel. Some of the pens are actually oil-based, which you can see a slight metallic reflection in closeup (bottom photo). The Uni-Ball One does have a really dark color, and more vivid color for sure. Most pens have really comparable darkness, with Hi-Tec-C, Sarasa slightly stand out. Many people asked about our favorite pens among these. I really like to write with Juice-Up and Frixion, and Neil likes Hi-Tec-C and Signo. Which pen is your favorite?

Hi christine, the UniBall One does come out a lot darker! It feels very similar to Uni-Ball Signo. Muji pens are very smooth and we like them all as well!

I love pens! Thank you for this ink comparison. The UniBall one is super dark – I might have to try that one… What do you guys think of Muji pens?

Hi Jerry, so glad you like this comparison! We haven’t tried many Stabilo pens but we will definitely give them a try next time!

As a fellow dork about pens, I very much enjoyed your black pen comparison! I highly recommend the Stabilo Worker+. (Medium 0.5mm in black is my fave.). It’s dark, thick ink stands out, much like your Sansara Clip. And the pen is indistructable. Give it a try!
