The coating must dry out the pens or something. I have also switched to the Sharpie fine tips which I thought were awesome, but then one already exploded and other ran out of ink already. lol Well, hopefully they will invent the perfect pen for us soon. I agree that the sharpie made the text darker than in your previous journal pages but your journal is still absolutely gorgeous, and since you have very artistic printing, I don't think it detracts from the page. :)<br />What kind of paper is your journal made of? I love the way your watercolours are so beautiful in your journals, and not just that you are an amazing artist, but also the way the paint blends and sits on your paper, it is far superior to sketchbook paper I can see.Kendra Smithhttp://www.kendraart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707467046303899499.post-53872702379807722412010-04-02T14:15:25.768-07:002010-04-02T14:15:25.768-07:00Have you tried the new Sharpie pens, not the Ultra...Have you tried the new Sharpie pens, not the Ultra Fine marker but the pen... I agree that the Micron catches in the tooth and the paper and it is hard to write. I thnk the Sharpie Pen will not make such a strong line.Elizabeth B Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424287286591608570noreply@blogger.com
