Which Fineliner is the Best?! | STATIONERY SHOWDOWN

[@studyquill]

This video was so helpful! + incredible editing!!

[@joyouslyme8297]

Vids bomb

[@candycake4051]

I love you study quill

[@itgetsworsetm9856]

I also love ur vids

[@ianfindly3257]

I think that a DRYNESS test would have been in order. For example, I've used that Sharpie pen, and have found that it runs out of ink and goes dry in just a matter of seconds of use.

[@pastelwonder1544]

Yayyy

[@Starlightofvega]

Now I feel so good about buying the Sakura as my first line art pen

[@Kanamekitchii]

I would recommend also testing the faber castell ones. They have qualities that micron doesnt have

[@leaht4505]

Me too! I love Micron pens 💜

[@emremokoko]

the rest of the Sakura Micron pen is OK but the ink is really really great.

[@DeffoZappo]

@@Kanamekitchii I love the ecco pigment Faber Castell. I think the woman in this video is using thin slick paper that I wouldn't like drawing on. I think the paper is most important.

[@Anonymous_user_14]

Same someone in my class used them, and i asked her about it, she took a pic of it and sent it to me. Turns out the sakura micron 03 is actually great

[@MichiContreras]

Mildliners/highlighter comparisons next?!

[@amandarachlee]

Welcome to my new series: STATIONERY SHOWDOWN, where I compare different art supplies and decide which ones are the best. Today's video is the battle of the black fineliners...which do you think is going to win?? PS. All products are linked in the description box!

[@agreatness]

AmandaRachLee was not surprised at all with the result of the Sakura as that's my favorite too but I was surprised that stabilo point 88 performed better than the staedtler triplus since I use both and I like the staedtler much better because the tip lasts way longer and the feel of the pen and deepness of the black is of better quality in my opinion. Would love to see your take on watercolor brushes like the Tombow dual brush pens, Akashiya, Sakura, Kuretake ones :) not sure if the pentel brush pen falls in the same category? Anyway love this new segment and definitely looking forward to more showdowns 😊

[@taylordaydesigns]

Next time can you do something where you test which ones bleed when you put water on it?

[@sandrasofia8120]

AmandaRachLee please do highlighters and gel pens!

[@lillythedarkgirl862]

AmandaRachLee notebooks

[@sirbluntski]

AmandaRachLee Loved this new idea. Next, I'm thinking paper. Something on the lines of GSM levels and how the different types affect your artwork. I can never decide which to buy.

[@valchester2571]

I did a lot of bullet journaling with the stabile 88 pens, and while they might seem like a great value at the beginning, after a few weeks (latest) of using them the tip really quickly becomes much thicker as it bends and you cannot write as small letters as you might want to and the colour also becomes much more grey tinted with that, so for a lasting writing experience with stabilos really I've had to replace them every month or so. just thought I'd let you know!

[@e.w.4677]

I use a lot of stabilo 88 pens for the same purpose and I don't share your experiences. I haven't had the problem with the tip getting bigger at all. Maybe it depends on the writing style and how much pressure you apply to the pen tip. I also haven't observed that the colour becomes grey tinted after time. (However, the pens are definitively able to absorb other colours, used that with ink in high school, that might be the cause) Edit: Also I use them mostly for writing, not drawing.

[@drawingdingus6863]

I wish you would’ve done a test where you let it dry and then erase over it because I’ve noticed that when I erase my sketches my faber castel lines get lighter so then my drawings look a little less sharp

[@fieryy1454]

Drawing Dingus that’s the paper you use, not the pens

[@adelinnaaa5199]

FieryNovaKrK no, sometimes the colour of the pen’s go away when erasing due to the quality

[@jerinetc3407]

I think in another one of Amanda’s videos she said that the Sakura Pigma Microns are the only fine liners that don’t erase when she erases the pencil under 🤗

[@annadominikasipos8664]

@@jerinetc3407 It's strange 'cause i use Sakura Pigma Microns, and sadly it always fades a bit when i erase the pencil under the lines? maybe it's the paper as someone said before

[@debleb166]

Happens to me too with faber castell, unipin and microns. I just end up going over the lines again after i finish the rest of the drawing

[@femkes3928]

Dear Amanda, Thank you for the video! I thought I'd share my experience with one of them. I'm using staedler pigment liners and one thing I noticed is that they hold up extremely well against water xD. I had a sketchbook once that was completely soaked by the rain, and all the drawings I made with the staedler pigment were all preserved, while all the other drawings done by other fineliners became big blobs of blues and purples. I then had an idea for another stationary showdown. I would love to see tests on markers. I'm using promarkers myself, which are markers that try to recreate the effect of watercolor. But I know that they bleed through the page quite easily. However, they are excellent if you want to color an area without seeing the 'stripes' of the marker.

[@rachelnan7425]

Thank you!!! I love the Pigma microns, the only problem I noticed is that the 005 size which I really like- the point tends to break or fray or something. This has happened twice. I may bear down a little too hard, and I will say one time I was drawing along the edge of a really thin straight edge, which may have ruined it.

[@mathildemathilde2341]

Can you do a test on calligraphy pens the next time ? Love from France !

[@awesomelytoxic8912]

Faber Castell and Disposable Copic Multiliner for art, Staedtler triplus for notes. Those have always been my fave pens

[@staceyros]

true black would be a good comparison too..staetler, stabilo, pilot and le pen look the best for these

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

I know this video is old but I just wanna say that is the best video I've seen about Pens comparison. I honestly wanna try the Copic Multiliner next time but for now, I'm gonna keep using the PaperMate InkJoy .05M which are amazing.

[@YourMom-bx8mm]

Roses are red, violets are blue Rachel has helped me a lot and she should help you too

[@MegaEowin]

Your Mom thanks mom !

[@abirah793]

This is amanda Rach lee

[@Elizabeth-gp8xb]

Who's Rachel?

[@Justmyopinionlol]

Really excellent video...love Stabilo as they are perfect for note taking on smooth surface papers found in textbooks. I thought Pilot gel pens were good until I tried fineliners and have never looked back since for all my notetaking endeavors as they write without smudging on nearly all types of papers and dry instantly.

[@leeannfriday1748]

I don’t often leave comments but I had to say I loved this video, please do more. Markers would be my next choice. Thankyou!

[@cosmo5743]

Hey Amanda can you make a stationary showdown video about coloured pencils?

[@nouradarwish5993]

Very nice video thanks for your efforts, but I really wanted to see the uniball unipin fine liner in this comparison

[@Rumi1028]

This is one of the best analysis Amanda, great effort and very useful - thanks

[@AndY-eg9dy]

I am so happy about to take the time watching this.. You definitly compared them in some of the most important questions whenever it´s about to take a choice. Three of them are just right here.. not because of this video.. It´s just because these pencils just will do whatever you have got burrowed in your mind ;)

[@mateusmamani8263]

My favorite one is the Staedtler Triplus Fineliner. :)

[@somberhoney]

I use the Staedtler triplus (black and colors) and haven't really had problems. The showing through or "ghosting" as you put it doesn't bother me and I haven't had any actual bleeding. My biggest problem is the slight smudging from going to erase my pencil marks I put down before I use the pens, but again it doesn't bother me too much.

[@layniedee]

Thank you so much!! This was very helpful as I'm only starting to build my own journal. 😊 I hope you could do a showdown for highlighters, too. Thank you again 💕

[@CenMelin]

The stabilo fineliner is great, except: it really REALLY fades in sunlight. If you want to hang up your drawings I'd recommend choosing another fineliner with archivable ink like the Sakura Micron.

[@danielcampbell5948]

I love the Le Pen! I use it so much!

[@ccofffee_apk]

I'm thinking of getting a sakura sigma micron. I do have one question for some one who has this, does the ink fade if rubbed with an eraser? I get that problem alot with my fineliners. Thanks

[@lucy-zy5wy]

Not as much as some other pens x

[@davinaz6885]

Stationary showdown is my new obsession

[@juleti]

I really loved this! U should do more :)

[@melanielife769]

The stabilo one is more known here in germany, that a basic school pen for most oft the girls who are interested in lettering but also in elementary school (the 15 pack) or in art class it is often wanted by teachers because it‘s a good marker for the price

[@ilobfl]

My fav is Micron!

[@analaurapulzoni1354]

Finally!! someone who makes a rlly good bleeding test !!! THANK YOU!

[@user-ch7tb1xc6c]

I love the Stabilo Pen😍

[@arminarlert6587]

I'm so happy because I found that micron pens in the country I live, it's also very cheap! Thanks for suggestion :)

[@DeffoZappo]

Really good paper is what matters the most. I dig the Faber Castell ecco pigment pens. They're like 1 dollar and work well but I use really good paper.

[@fufufuaru]

I have a feeling the uni pin fine liner performs the same as the sakura micron. I don't have a leuchttrum to test it on but it's served me really well even on normal printing paper. Smooth writing, waterproof, archival, no weird ghosting.

[@arakisrohanfigure8681]

Thank you so much! This was really helpful

[@amongussusybaka]

Catchy name for the video (stationery showdown) and this is very helpful when I start trying calligraphy and hopefully bullet journaling

[@PhyllisMiller2]

Great evaluation and recommendations. I currently use the Sakura Pigma Microns, Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens. Both work extremely well. I have been considering the purchase of the Copic Multiliner SP and their disposable Copic Multiliner.

[@MagnusMiselli]

Was hoping for the Otho graphic liner needle point but got a good answer to a lot of other questions! How about a battle of alcohol markers like the Copic marker, the Spektrum Noir and Faber castell etc! That would be awesome! ✨👊🏻✨

[@alvinjones670]

I LOVED THIS I DUG IT A LOT. THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!!!

[@montybrewster7]

Thank you for that Amanda, I just bought 4 various size Sakura's based on your test results. That saved me a small fortune as I had intended to buy Copic Miltiliners so thanks again.

[@mdyamin09]

I am here seeing it in 2020 when Amanda is obsessed with Sakura fineliners.

[@djanesupernova]

Very nice Video! Try Tombow Fineliner, it’s better then Micron and Faber Castell 👌🏻💗

[@oldtrojanskin]

i just ordered the Copic sp 0.5 and refill. Thank you.

[@suvropbasu9864]

Your review really saved some of my bucks. Great review

[@lsakasl1]

This video showed up in my timeline just at the right time!

[@funny.noskin]

my opinion the best one was pigma microns and faber castell PITT artist pens

[@skellabnella]

Admittedly, I haven’t read all the comments, but the ZIG Millennium pens are worth adding to your collection if you’re a pen-o-phile like me; I have one set that I got ages ago ( around ‘98) and they’re still going strong! Prismacolor premier makes a decent product too, but the Sakura micron will always be my go to pens for sure! Great video btw, now I want to go pen shopping :)

[@aarasyada]

This video was so helpful!

[@megthemermaid7663]

I've been saying the microns are the best for years. So validated rn 🎉

[@avaaul3728]

This helped me decide!

[@angelphantomhive1512]

This actually really helped me in deciding what pens I wanted to get that are currently on sale at my job. It was a tight debate, but now I know what to get >:) Thank you so very much for this informative video from years ago.

[@cunneyes]

Sakura Pigma Micron sets are cheap on Amazon and I recently bought a complete set. Can't wait.

[@apricotmadness4850]

Great test and review! Thanks.

[@clairestener8833]

Just a warning, with the stabilo point 88 the tips split incredibly easily and very quickly become impossible to get a clean line with. We used to use them in school but within a couple of weeks ALL of them were frayed and we had to switch to another type.

[@xaebehx1612]

I have the stabilo one and the artline

[@phionaphoo]

You should have included the unipin fineliner, it's really good!

[@datakatt8523]

It isn't a fair comparison unless you do a watercolour test, and alcohol marker test. The copic and sakura liners have these specific purposes

[@iamcrystalwater2221]

Before i watch this video My favorite are the staedtler fineliners

[@lgrozdanovic769]

I think I'll go for the FC one. (P.S. I cannot find the sakura pen anywhere where I live)

[@PeachesBunnyLove]

I would love to see a redaction pen and tool comparison. Like how dose it work, dose it blead, can you see through it (hold it up to the light) and on. That's the one thing I looked for on youtube and cant find a video.

[@sriiyer89]

@amanda, try using Brustro technical pens. I find them better than micron and sakura.

[@HanaHime29]

Once you go Mitsubishi UniPin, you'll never wanna go back imo. Amazing smooth lines, and doesn't fade when erased.

[@aeriacross770]

This just sold me again on the sakura micron. Good value for money. Although, you used high quality paper. Not everyone can afford those. It would have been good to use average thickness at least 90-100 gsm

[@maisybean47]

I personally use the brand Superior which i think, is better than Micron. OR should i say.. superior to Micron?

[@OfCourseNhut]

i have a stabilo and i really really love it ahahah so i was definitely rooting for it during this showdown heheh

[@blarcosthebasementchild5822]

Thank you very helpful !

[@gatorfan556]

I have the sakura microns and theyre great

[@chaiamima]

Please try the uni pin fineliners 😉😉😉

[@freddukes6315]

I really wanted the copic multiliner sp but they are too expensive for 10.

[@arjunsharma848]

Bruh it's really helpful video 🥺 you earn my likes and subscribe

[@rosavaldes2599]

Awesome those are my favs

[@chenandrew83]

I find the Faber Castell fine line the best so far

[@BenRangel]

What about ink color / depth / pigmentation? Copic seems weak and grayish. The Staedler Triplus, Stabilo and Le Pen stand out as having a darker black color. In some cases (like le pen) maybe that’s just related to it laying down more ink. But still!

[@eveliinaalanen6120]

The stabilo point 88 is really good but if you use it a lot the nib breaks( not kidding for me it breaks in the middle and i dont push hard with it)

[@elizabethbach646]

Can you test black micro pens too? There might be micron pens coming up on it but it looks different from micron pens.

[@Anne0jpg]

Quite funny to me, the firsts three winners, are the only mildliners that I own haha 😂 (They were either gifted to me or bought randomly without giving any thought about the quality)

[@nourh.2185]

Hi there! I just discovered your channel and it looks so cool! How about you compare between white pens and markers? Thanks!

[@Tiina_Talvikki]

I wish you included is it waterproof -test. Since for example stabilos are not waterproof, but the copic is.

[@celesteelysee3615]

Exactly what I needed to know! I can't believe I found this so easily on KZbin, but my guess was good that you must have had a video on this. Buying a new fineliner was actually on my to do list for the entire past month and today I thought to just google: 'AmandaRachLee Fineliner' and here it is! I don't mind spending just a bit more, but at least now I know what it would be for:)

[@BJbear2001]

Excellent test panels!

[@kidshand7306]

I have both the stadeler one's

[@Ghost-dd9qw]

I like how the best one is one of the cheapest

[@neil78b]

*Dang, I thought this was a fine point pen test... this is artist level stuff with marker tip pens. I want a roller ball writing pen that is fine point.*

[@applejuis4516]

The Coptic one is also really good for art because it is alcohol proof so u can use Copics on it and I won’t bleed while the other ones will bleed with copics so I “Recommend” the Coptic sp

[@juanantoniogomez7325]

Where are the edding multiliners? That's a pretty good brand

[@immaculatefrenchbread5523]

You should’ve done the Moncton pen

[@mei2302]

You Should try arteza it’s a really good art company with all mediums

[@sreid5583]

Extremely helpful

[@nadia-vn2vo]

You have the best stationary items

[@aldergreen]

Y'all watching later, just be careful with the point 88. It tends to smudge out after some months on certain kind of paper. I found some of my old drawings ruined for its fault. What a pity. (And the problem is only on the black one, the oher colors ages beautifully).

[@ebd813]

I don’t understand why Sakura micron works so great for everyone else lol. For me they smudge, the tips break, and they run out in a few weeks. I’m not doing anything particularly cruel to them so idk what I’m missing

[@NickelEdge]

Testing for bleed through the paper and ghosting is a poor test, as that's more of a issue of the paper. Except when it falls out of the norm, like you noted with the Le Pen. But what about the consistency of the and bleeding? It look like the Staedtler Pigment fail horribly in this area. Where you wrote the 6 it looks like it had major bleeding making it look more like .7mm line. You showed smearing right after drawing lines. How long do the lines take to dry? How about a test of how many pages can be inked. If a pen is cheaper but inks a lot less pages, it loss a lot of its value as a buyer pen. it's It would also test how well the tips hold up over time. And final test how much pressure can the tip take before busting. You have a nicely presented and edited video, just lacking some important information.

[@solarsynapse]

Would any of these work on plastic and have a more durable tip than a Sharpie marker? The Sharpie pen just wipes off and the LePen does not hold up as well as a Sharpie marker. Thanks!

[@froggers2070]

Im gonna get Le pen!

[@ismelltoast007]

I recon it would be more fair if you could let the pen dry before using colour marker, because I am pretty sure that everyone lets it dry.

[@Kateydid18]

I wish you would've tried to write in cursive with them to see how they flowed from letter to letter because I write in cursive all the time.

[@cristobalnicolaslopezloza3412]

I like microns but alsó have prisma color fineliners

[@23Starcatcher]

You should do white gel pens

[@Sarahfambrose]

As a left handed human being, I really need to do a smudge test and this saves me a lot of money
