Fat 1.0mm rollerball tip writes a 0.6mm line of opaque white pigmented gel ink - waterproof, light-fast and acid-free. This pen writes exceptionally well on dark paper or card and also writes over dark print or writing making it ideal for adding highlights to artwork or even as a convenient corrector pen (it works better than most genuine 'corrector' pens). This pen was highly popular for scrapbooking, craft and art purposes, but then inexplicably discontinued by Uni a couple of years ago. However they've seen sense and reintroduced it from October 2007.
The Signo Broad UM-153 is the perfect pen for adding a personal, decorative touch to greetings cards or invitations, and for use in art and craft activities. Premium quality metallic gel ink ensures consistent, smooth, skip-free writing.
