Default White Pen

Uggg I'm having the worst time getting my white gelly roll pen to work properly.
I do store it with the point tip down and I'm still having trouble. Works for about maybe ten stitch marks then stops.
What do you find to be the best white pen?

The Uniball Signo pen thats in the SU catty is the BEST one I have used so far. I love Sakura's as well, but the Uniball one rocks!

www.jetpens.com sells the White Uniball Signo also and if you order several at the same time you get free shipping. Mine arrived in under 48 hours. I go through them rapidly so always order about a dozen at a time and split the order with friends.

Thumbs up signo uniball

I just found a pack of 3 of the signo Uniball gel pens. You get white, silver and gold. They were at Target. Can't remember the price, but I think it was about $3 or $4 dollars. The package says Uniball Rollergel but on the actual pen is also says Signo. They are great, you might want to save the shipping and get these.

I have heard on 2peas that this is not the same as the Unibal Signo pen in the SU! catalogue. (See below.) I have experience with *neither*.

Check out this *excellent* article where they compare 15! different white pens!

White Journaling Pens - 15 Pens Compared on Black Paper <---click!

The only ones I have are #2 The Ultimate Gel Pen � Pastel by American Crafts and #11 Hybrid Gel Grip by Pentel. I definitely prefer the Pentel one. But after reading that article, I'd like to try #8 Opaque Writer by Zig.

And here are 2 quotes from this thread on 2peas:
Quote:

A tip I got from the manufacturer on the Uniball Signos, and Sakura for the Souffles and Glaze pens... store them horizontally and do not shake them. It's usually first instinct to shake them if they don't get going right away but that mixes air into the "ink" and will definitely cause it to skip and to dry the tip. They recommend writing in circles to get the pen going instead of shaking.
Quote:

Just a word of advice, the white pen in the 3 pk from T's IS NOT THE SAME PEN as the Uniball Signo UM-153. Yes, they are both made by Uniball but they do NOT write the same. The Uniball Signo UM-153 is FAR superior, so don't waste $$ on the ones from T's.
I love to read your feedback and experience with white pens!

Cheers!

Yes, hands-down the one from Stampin Up! I bought one from Michaels' to use for Christmas cards last minute and it was AWFUL! Buy from SU and you will be much happier-along with any of the other products you purchase from there (and not just 'cause I'm a demo)! :0)

The ones from www.jetpens.com are identical to the SU ones. I have been buying them for 2 years.

What a great tip. Because if you are doing major faux stitching or whatever, on a batch of cards the ink does go fairly fast. However, these are the only ones I could stand to bother with...Thanks!! :mrgreen:
