Hey @Keishara , just wanted to say thank you for this article. Based on your test findings, I managed to get some UNI prockey pens. It was an upgrade from the black sharpie. I am not an artist by any means and I used It for the E4 signature exchange event. I am very happy with the overall output. The final signature looked vibrant after drying.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers!

Youāre very welcome. Thanks for giving these a go!
Glad to hear they came out well. Was it easy to find these pens? If not, Iāll try to include some pens more readily available.

I am based in the Netherlands, so after checking some local stationary stores, I managed to find a really great pen store online where I could easily order them. I think the UNI Prockey were the most affordable (besides the sharpie) from your recommendations, but your ratings for them were higher, so I went with them.
I had to be patient with the drying times because the sharpie dries faster, and this took a bit more time, but the quality of the sign was so much better than a regular sharpie, specially since these were water based.
Again, thank you. But if you have other recommendations for pens, it might be useful for others. I think I will stick to these pens for my uses going forward
Cheers!

I also bought UNI Prockey and used them for the sig exchange, they were great for it. Given I had to sign ~50 cards it wasnāt too bad doing an assembly line style approach to deal with the drying.

So I tried the fine tip version of the UNI Prockey. It struggles on smoother card surfaces, as you can see thereās spotting in the auto. Whereas the thick one doesnāt.
Iād say stick to one of the oil based pens for such surfaces (such as Pilot Name pen) or the fat version of the Prockey.
