Are these Triplus pens water-resistant? If I were writing in a drizzle, would they smear all over or would they hold crisp shape?

If they have not dried completey , yes they are not water proof. When water hits it runs. Hope this helps.

I left some papers on my porch that were written with a Triplus (pink). It did smear and fade. I would definitely NOT call them water-resistant!

No the ink is not waterproof. But overall for the money it's a great pen with lots of extras and writes flawlessly. I love it.

It works just fine with those types of pen just try your best not to get it wet in the rain even though it is water resistant paper it can get messy. I hope this help you.

I have not had great luck using these pens on slick surfaces. I would recommend Slick Writers by American craft. They dry quickly and do not smudge on glossy prints or surfaces.

I have not had any problems with these smearing or getting globs of ink on the paper. They write very smoothly and nicely over the paper I have not encountered any problems whatsoever with these pens. That has been my personal experience.

I love these pens!!! It does thought take about 10-20 seconds to dry.... I love them but if u r planning to write with them and ur left handed I wouldn't suggest unless u want a colorful hand!!

I write comments on student papers. These are heavy inked, so if you have a small script, then these might be too muddled. I have to force myself to write in large script when I use them. Instead of these I'd recommend the Pilot Razor pens. I've used these for years. I have two colors right now for my writing: brown and green. They work very well, but don't fly with them. They don't breathe well in elevation changes. I have several stained shirts that testify to that.

I do not find these pens messy. They do require a little bit of drying time so are probably better suited for 8-12 year olds.

This is a very open-ended question. The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The pens work great, are smooth, bright and fun to work with. I do a lot of organized doodling (some call it tangling) and for my purposes they work wonderfully. The only negative is they can smear just a bit if you don't give them a second or two to dry. I do wish they came in finer point sizes; but still great. As always, this is only my opinion and the only way to be sure they work for you is try them. There may be smaller groupings at a lower price if that is a concern.

Yes, the pen writes reliably, immediately, smoothly, and doesn't skip. However, if you leave the cap off for multiple minutes without writing, the tip will dry slightly and may write lightly until it rewets.

I haven't tried them on transparencies, but I'm pretty certain that they would, in fact, smear. They're great pens, but I don't think they're meant for anything other than paper.

Prashant K., While these are the BEST pens I've ever used (I'm an editor and teacher and use pens ALL the time), unfortunately they can NOT be refilled (just disposed of). I buy them anyway---not because I'm rich, but because of the high quality of the pens. They're the best. Sorry for the bad news, but hope this information helps you in making your decision. Sincerely, David Kopp, St. Louis, MO

They do not smear on paper or porous surfaces , but do on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, painted wood, etc. If you leave the pen in one place, it will bleed through to the other side, but in normal writing, it won't (on regular paper). If you are using very thin paper (tissue paper, onion skin paper, etc.) it will bleed through, just like any other marker.

Not at all, but they do smear if you don't give them time to dry! I love these pens, but you have to keep in mind they are a wet gel!

Yes, they are the best liner pens I have ever owned. Just let it dry for a min or two.

I've found it's kind of like disappearing ink in warmer temps (like leaving papers in the car during the summer) but once the paper cools off - everything comes back. AND in cold temps - things that were erased - lightly appear again. Neither appearing or disappearing has ever affected an entire document - just random spots here and there. Even with that being said they are still my absolute favorite pens and I use them daily. The new colored set is fantastic too!

So far, so good. Do let what you write dry a bit before you touch, fold, close the book! No globs yet. I've used pilot dark blue pens and they can be globby at the end of their life and also smeary with the 1.0. I think the .07 and .05 are better.
