A classic fineliner from Japanese Shachihata — and actually quite a good one. What else would you expect from a large brand that’s been around forever? Artline is familiar to me since my early days as a graffiti writer, because they also make really good larger permanent markers. And bunch of other markers and pens as well. Anyways, I’d rate this fineliner either on a “weak” second or very “strong” third place.
These work well, though not quite as long as Molotow. But then again, that’s true for nearly all other markers reviewed. Once dry, the ink is a solid deep black. Artline doesn’t dry as quickly as Molotow, but once it does, it works relatively well with acrylic markers. The flow is good, at least when the marker is new.
