Uchida DecoColor Premium Fine Tip Paint Marker, Gold

I followed the advice of other reviewers, shook the pen well, and (once I pried the very tightly sealed cap off), holding pen tip side up, pushed down on tip about 3-5 times to tap into ink reservoir. I was careful not to tap too much or to hold pen down and press against paper because it is more likely to overflow and clump that way. I then turned it tip side down and waited for the ink to flow slowly down into the tip. A few practice strokes on a test paper and I got beautiful, metallic gold that was opaque enough to look perfect against black card stock with no black showing through. I am not a seasoned crafter, but I was so happy with the results as I used the pen to create themed gift cards. Highly recommend for newbies.

This was a very cool easy to use pen.

Good Color

I expected FINE point. Fine point would have been able to write the same size at the text I chose for my card for my phone number however, it still writes well. I still LOVE how metallic it comes out.

I love how smooth the color glides on paper. Definitely recommend.

The 3 center chunky strands of this zentangle inspired artwork was done using this DecoColor Pen and this is exactly what I needed!! There was no bleeding on the other side of the paper tile. The paper was a 300gm tile. Just follow the instruction for usage... after shaking, I pressed it once to release the air; the when I press down on nib- I went slow 1-2 times - was patient assuming that the flow takes time and then very slowly pressed again if the paint didn’t flow through. But it did. If you press down on nib like 4-5-6 times too fast impatiently, for sure, you will have an overflow through the nib. The pen writes beautifully and is opaque. The best gold pen I’ve seen so far!!! It’s a medium point though. It’s not extra fine. But for the quality of the pen, this is 5-star!!

Flows great and it is a very pretty gold. Very happy with it and would recommend.

Ordered this pen for addressing Christmas cards and it is perfect! My cards have gold foil print and this matches the quality.
