Grabbed a bunch of markers from AP and elsewhere recently. Krink, magic ink, Mr bill, uni, etc… the Outi5000 is sick. Wish they made one with a bigger nib. I grabbed another, and kinda regret not getting 3 or 4… what can I say, I’m a marker and ink hoarder.
I bought these thinking they were gonna directly fit on Rusto American Accents, only to find out that they DON'T FIT ON THEM, I'm still not sure if they fit on PT (I haven't tried), honestly I'm hesitating whether to get PT or not. I get that there's no such thing as perfection, but honestly, I would overlook this and rather buy more Rusto female fat caps
i have to write on cardboard a lot at work, any pump marker I was trying out would get the ink absorbed too quickly into the cardboard and I'd have to pump it every 2-3 letters. Decided to try one of these out, and this sh*t is perfect. If you write just a little slowly, you don't get any streaks at all. The best part about this marker for me though is the way the nib is shaped. It's a fat chisel line on the normal side but you can turn it sideways and get a smaller chisel line.
It also works just fine on the streets in a bind. They say the ink will fade outside, but writing on metal surfaces like dumpsters, electrical boxes etc, this sh*t gives clean opaque lines and the nib is durable. I see why people say this marker's a classic, it really is great.
It's smash ink so you know it's top notch. Xylene dreams means a tougher job for the buffman.
I have one complaint tho, specifically about the "black" ink. When compared to Uni Black, the Smash ink is more like a dark grey color. It has great opacity and appears black. But it is not nearly as black as the OG Uni. Not a big deal at all, just something to be aware of.
