Review: Beloved for 8+ Years - I found this model of pen back in 2018-2019 and fell in love with them — specifically the 0.3mm — after buying one on a whim at an art store. They are so fine and so light to use, it feels like you’re writing or drawing with air. You do have to press a bit harder than you might with a Pilot or something, but it’s worth it for the line. The drying time, due to the light depth penetration of the ink and the thinness of the pen point itself, is nearly instantaneous. There is some smudging sometimes, but that’s more dependent on the medium than the pen itself. There’s no real issue with smudging on drawing paper. I have never had any Pentel pen leak on me. I have medium-sized hands for women, so the thinness of the barrel of the pen is comfortable for me, but I can imagine that the thinness of the pen might be a challenge for those with larger hands. The grip on the pen is great for me. I also like the detached cap and how it clicks into the bottom — I hardly ever lose caps to them. Quality of these models varies so probably half in a dozen are actually fantastic and the rest are just good to great pens. The fantastic ones, though, I put a little bit of tape on so I know which ones those are. The good to great ones just become writing pens. They’re worth the money regardless. The only substantive issue that these pens have is that they get dry on the tip on some part of the rotation, so you’ll draw a line much lighter or darker than you intended because you rotated the pen unconsciously. In the worst case, they just won’t write and you’ll have to coax them or rotate the pen until the writing point is “happy” again. I’d say this is a minor issue to have, a pen being temperamental. As far as value, I think these are great value for the experience writing or sketching that you get. They’re not high end or high maintenance. They write exactly the way that I like, and I always look for an excuse to write when I have one. Review: 5-Star to FIX the INK FLOW!!! - HELPFUL TIPS to make this a 5-STAR pen. This is the best 0.3 pen I have ever used. However, if you read the reviews it is not without its issue. The main one being it loses the flow of ink for no apparent reason. STOP!!! There are reasons, the first one is you MUST RECAP this pen. If you walk away, come back, and left it uncapped it will be clogged. It can also clog because of dust or paper fibers. This is a common problem with art pens. If and when you lose ink flow the EASY FIX, wrap the tip in a rubbing alcohol soaked cotton ball or pad for a minute or two (nail polish remover also works). This will unclog the tip and once done none of my pens clogged a second time. If they do you can repeat and the flow will return. I'm still sure to always RECAP when I'm finished with it. I hope this helps to make this pen your favorite 😉 ## Features - Acid-free, water-resistant, archival Ink protects your sketches, drawings and anime from fading over time - Unique Tungsten carbide roller ball tip guarantees a consistent line from the first to the last drop of ink - Pen will not dry out if left uncapped ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JS8J5ZG | | Additional Features | Waterproof | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,264 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #513 in Gel Ink Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Pentel | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,356 Reviews | | Drill Point | Assorted | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072512254042, 50072512254047 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | No | | Ink Base | Hybrid | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Dimensions | 7.38 x 1 x 3.63 inches | | Item Type Name | Pentel Hybrid Technica Liquid Gel Pens 5/Pkg-Black | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Line Size | 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm | | Manufacturer | Pentel | | Material | Tungsten Carbide | | Material Type | Tungsten Carbide | | Model Name | Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica Gel Pen with Assorted Tip Sizes, Black Ink, Pack of 5 (KN10BP5A) | | Model Number | KN10BP5A | | Recommended Uses For Product | Writing | | Style | Assorted Tip Sizes | | Theme | Anime | | UPC | 739197322021 072512254042 | | Unit Count | 5.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Multifunction Writing Instruments | | Writing Technique | rollerball | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pentel - **Writing Instrument Form:** Multifunction Writing Instruments - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Age Range (Description):** Adult ## Images ![Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica Gel Pen with Assorted Tip Sizes, Black Ink, Pack of 5 (KN10BP5A) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kdJE2hDiL.jpg) ![Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica Gel Pen with Assorted Tip Sizes, Black Ink, Pack of 5 (KN10BP5A) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gcRAVDn2L.jpg) ![Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica Gel Pen with Assorted Tip Sizes, Black Ink, Pack of 5 (KN10BP5A) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71j7sGbcR7L.jpg) ![Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica Gel Pen with Assorted Tip Sizes, Black Ink, Pack of 5 (KN10BP5A) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i3QbBejuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has anyone tested this pen with watercolor?** A: I like this pen for ink sketching - even line and more robust than the Microns. However, the ink is water soluble, so nice shading with a bit of water, but problematic with watercolor. It bleeds less if you let it sit and dry for a long time, but I'm rarely that patient and will use something else for watercolor work. **Q: are these pens refillable...do they have refills available?** A: All these answers are incomplete or inaccurate. Or perhaps the question was unclear. For the 0.6mm black pen size, I have been unable to find a 0.6 mm refill. All the .05 mm refills I have tried from JetPens give a thinner line and are slightly scratchy, even on smooth paper. In short, for 0.6, the answer is no, for all colors **Q: Where is this pen made?** A: A very high quality pen made in Japan **Q: Are these pens erasable** A: Hi, no they are not erasable CONSUMER QUALITY ASSURANCE TEAM.

I hope this helps to make this pen your favorite 😉 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine Pens in All Ways *by S***E on March 3, 2016* These are my favorite pens. I've been buying these in the 12-packs for several years because I've never found any pens that I enjoy using as much. I initially bought the multipack of different pen tip sizes. The expectation was that I would use them for drawing. It turned out they were good for drawing, but I liked them for use in writing. The ink is very black and goes on smoothly. Most ball point pens show the shape of the ball in the ink left on the paper; these do not. There is a rubber grip for comfort and to have a non-slip surface. The pen is fairly light-weight, as might be expected from a plastic pen, but the tip is solid metal and that gives a little stability to the pen. I like the 0.4mm pen for everyday use. It was a toss-up between the 0.4mm and 0.5mm. Both are a good size. The final decision came down to the amount of time it takes the ink to dry. The ink in these pens is a little slow to dry and the 0.4mm dries a little faster. The 0.3mm size leaves a very fine line that isn't quiet as black looking. These are also available in 0.6mm and 0.8mm. All have worked well for me. They don't dry out and they don't glob up on the paper or bleed through. They work well for drawing or writing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3240054-pentel-arts-hybrid-technica-gel-pen-with-assorted-tip-sizes](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3240054-pentel-arts-hybrid-technica-gel-pen-with-assorted-tip-sizes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
