This is my first experience with the Tru Red brand. The pen size and texture are nice and comfortable. The gel ink IS pretty fast drying as advertised but I found that it feathers quite a bit on cheaper papers. And the 0.5mm is broader than my Pilot G2 0.7mm pens. I keep these pens in a cup on my desk for people to grab if they need a pen. They’re cheap enough that I don’t mind if I don’t get them back. Would really like a true 0.5mm.
I really like this new brand. I have purchased the pens and the perm markers. I love that they are thicker allowing for a more comfortable grip. I love the colors even though I would like them a little bolder. They are cleaner and more precise and smooth. I will be buying this brand in the future.
