if you’re curious about my rating system, check out my first tl;dr! 

this review is on the zebra sarasa white pen. as far as i know, it’s only available in the 0.5 tip size. 

overall rating 

15.9/20 for all categories 

4/5 for the average rating 

a more detailed review is under the cut! this time, i took out the categories of highlighting and bleeding because they don’t matter with white pens.

colours

I think there are 28 different colours you can choose from in the 0.5 size, all with the same smooth ink and good grip. (I currently own the Milk White and Milk Blue colours.) The Zebra Sarasa is also available in the 0.38, 0.4, 0.7 and 1.0 with 20 colours each. I’m not sure what colours are available with 1.0 tip. Other types of the Zebra Sarasa that might interest you are the Zebra Sarasa Dry and Zebra Sarasa Mark-on.

opacity

2/5

(Sorry I’m not sure how I took the photo the wrong way!) This pen isn’t as opaque as I’d like it to be. On coloured paper on its own it looks fine, but it doesn’t work well over other markers. It’s smaller tip size might be a reason why it isn’t as opaque as other white pens. If you can, go over twice on coloured paper. As you can see, the pen didn’t stand out as much when I used it to embellish my calligraphy. An unfortunate tendency the pen has is that it takes off ink from the marker. 

grip

5/5

I love the grip so so much! It reaches further down than most pens. I use this grip with the Pentel Energel refill (inspired by @studyquill) and it allows me to write quickly and neatly without killing my hands. 

smoothness

5/5

The ink is really smooth and that’s all that needs to be said :) 

smearing

3.9/5

If you see the image above, the pen did smear but I don’t think it really matters. White pens are used less day to day, so a little bit of smearing here and there won’t make a difference. It wouldn’t matter either if you’re embellishing your designs. 

test

Here are the supplies I used for my testing: 

- Walmart purple cardstock

- Pentel Fude Touch brush pen

- Staples Hype yellow highlighter

- Zebra Sarasa 0.5 Milk White 

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this pen if you were looking for a white pen to embellish your works. On the other hand, I would highly recommend this as a pen body for other refills, but not necessarily this colour. The white grip gets dirty rather quickly, but you have 27 more options to choose from.
