Paint pens shine when used on transparent surfaces like figure windows, as the standard Sharpie is semi-translucent, but good paint pens are opaque, meaning that you cannot see through them. But you also must be careful with them - some words of advice when using paint pens is to carefully read the instructions for first prepping and using that particular pen, as some can be quirky, and the other is to prep and test the pen just before the item is going to be signed, as you want to ensure the best result possible.

They’re definitely a known quantity when it comes to performance, but the issue I encountered is the fact that their red and blue markers weren’t quite true to the color, and were off enough that it was noticeable.

One thing that I found with a few a few of the color paint pens, is that when you did not shake them long enough, they did not completely mix, so you could see the white base paint along with the color pigment in the signature. So be sure to shake the pen long enough and test it out on a similar surface before putting it to use. Edding As I mentioned in the previous review, I only discovered this brand of pen because an artist who chastised a friend who was helping me get a book signed, because the pen wasn't archival and all that jazz. Anyways, this pen is more like an ultra fine Sharpie as far as the nib goes, and produces a similar result - but is an extremely niche product. Overall, it is an archival friendly India Ink pen, which means that it would be a good pen to use on art prints, but I wouldn’t recommend using it for photographs or posters.
