Staedtler markers are really good, too — they’re kind of a mix between Pentel and Stylefile. Once dried, you can paint over them. However, they do require a bit more time to dry. The black is, once again, an intense black.

This one features a 12-hour cap-off system, meaning that if you forget to put the cap back on after use, the nib shouldn’t dry out immediately. I’m a bit cautious about that 12-hour “limit” and won’t bother testing it, but it’s there in case that’s a dealbreaker for you. Marker comes in 13 different colors, I’ve used only black. Nib sizes from 0,05 to 1,2mm which also is very good range. And the black ink should be erasable when used on drafting paper.

I picked these up on discount at Penstore, but if I remember correctly, they’re in the average price range anyway. Like most fineliners, this one comfortably lands in the crowded third place.
