FAQs

What is the ink type in the Uni-ball Signo Broad UM-153?

The pen uses a premium quality metallic gel ink.

What is the tip size of this pen?

This pen features a broad tip, suitable for bolder lines and coverage.

Can I use this pen on black paper?

Yes, the metallic white ink is designed to be opaque and will show up well on black or other dark-colored paper.

How long does the ink take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on the paper and environmental conditions, but gel ink typically requires a few seconds to dry. It's best to let it dry completely before touching.

Is this pen suitable for fine details?

No, the broad tip is intended for bolder lines and decorative purposes, not for very fine or intricate details.

What kind of projects is this pen best suited for?

It is ideal for adding personal, decorative touches to greeting cards, invitations, art journaling, scrapbooking, and other craft activities.

How should I store the pens?

Store the pens horizontally or with the tip facing downwards to ensure optimal ink flow.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing or skipping.

Ensure the cap has been removed and the ink has not dried out. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-prime the ink flow. Store pens properly (horizontally or tip-down) when not in use.

Ink is smudging.

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or layering other media. Drying time can vary depending on the paper surface and humidity. Avoid using on non-porous or overly glossy surfaces.

Tip seems clogged.

Gently try to clean the tip with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals. If clogging persists, try gently scribbling on a rougher surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant, opaque metallic white ink adds a premium look.
  • Broad tip is excellent for bold lettering and quick coverage.
  • Smooth, skip-free writing experience for consistent results.
  • Ideal for decorative art and craft applications.
  • Comes in a cost-effective pack of 12.

Cons

  • The broad tip is not suitable for intricate or fine detail work.
  • Gel ink may require a slightly longer drying time than ballpoint pens.
  • Metallic finish may not be suitable for all projects or aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Uni-ball Signo Broad UM-153 requires no setup. Simply remove the cap and begin writing. Ensure the pen is uncapped before use.

Compatibility: This pen is compatible with most paper types, including cardstock, drawing paper, and colored paper. It performs particularly well on darker surfaces where the metallic white ink will have the most contrast. Avoid using on glossy surfaces where ink may not adhere properly or may smudge easily.

Care:

  • Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  • Store pens horizontally or tip-down to ensure consistent ink flow.
  • If the ink flow seems reduced, gently scribble on a scrap piece of paper to restart the ink flow.
  • Keep away from extreme temperatures.
