They dont work
Not working-wont wipe and will stain
Some of the pens do not work
Grey not black
However, the colour was very watery and had to be repeatedly gone over, to make it thick enough
Not fit for purpose
Quite small pens
Small too
a slightly sharper nib point on the bullet tip - this is because the tip wears down as you're using it
A thin tip
Was hoping they would be a little thinner as the nib does become wider over time
