Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sakura Souffle Opaque Puffy Ink Pens, 10-Pack
Customer Review: Fun to play with
Summary: 5 Stars
The soufflé pens are very nice to write with and DO write on multiple surfaces. However, I would suggest having a piece of scrap paper with you if you intend to write on something smooth like glass or plastic. The ball can't really get traction on smooth surfaces, so you sometimes need to scribble a bit to get the ink flowing. The colors come out as roughly the same color as the cap but turn paler as they dry. The result is matte, milky, and opaque. Because of the way the colors turn out, I would recommend using these pens on black or dark colored paper, since they don't have nearly as much of a punch on paler colors.
The results depends very heavily on the material you are using. The ink doesn't actually puff up--it just doesn't absorb into the paper as much as other thinks and dries like a glaze. Thus, you will see a more pronounced effect when writing on non-porous surfaces but these surfaces will also take longer to dry. When writing on paper, I find that it takes about 30 seconds for the ink to dry for standard notebook paper, and up to 3 minutes for dense, smoother papers. I have not yet tried it on photo paper, but I would imagine that the ink would take even longer to dry. It has a noticeably raised texture and tends to be rather durable for everyday use---if you actually let it dry, and if you clean the writing surface off of any oils or residues.
The pens say that they have not been tested for writing on skin--and I wouldn't suggest using them for that purpose. Not only do they simply not WRITE, but the oils on your skin could very well ruin the pen. Furthermore, the ink seems like it would be rather difficult to wash off.
You CAN layer this pen over itself, just be very careful. When the top layer is wet, rubbing it will take off the bottom layers as well. The higher you build it up, the easier it is to rub off, and the longer it takes to try. I would suggest giving any project a 2 hour "curing" time, just to be sure. While the doubt the ink dries any more than it does initially on thinner layers, on thicker layers, it really helps, since sometimes the surface dries faster than the rest of the ink.
Overall, it does what it says. Whether you want to spend this amount on a decorational pen is up to you, but I'd imagine it would be more useful for the creatively-minded.
