I don't own a Hybrid Gel Grip or Hybrid Milky, but I did notice that my Uniball Signo performs a lot better than my Sakura Gelly Roll does. Thanks for the testing!

Bonus test of three black writing surfaces. Ink gave the best contrast with all four pens. Black paper did almost as well. Only one pen gave a really solid line on marker, though another came close. The railroading is a cool effect if contrast for reading isn't a concern.

This explains so much. I have the first two pens and as an artist I’ve really struggled getting the ink to come out consistently when I try adding highlights and such to my marker drawings. Now I see that they did great on your black paper and ink, but not so much on marker. I’ll have to try one of those Hybrid pens now!

You also have to take the tip size into account. A larger tip will write more smoothly and deposit more ink than a fine one.

That was helpful! Now...a questions comes up about lightfastness of the white ink (whites can dull due to brighteners fading from UV light.) A lot of watercolorists use Gelly Pens to add white accents. Can you get some lightfastness info on these pens? It would be great! (PS thanks for the videos, love them.)

Just bought Sakura yesterday, wish I had seen this early 😭
But so helpful, thankyouu

[Juulylie]

I tried both the Signo and the Gelly roll on coloured pencil, and the Gelly roll is much brighter! Idk why but the Signo kinda absorbed the colour and doesn't really look white

[IamNoOne-]

The Uniball Signo broad is the most opaque and brighter, but in my experience doesn't flow well and dries up much quicker, Sakura gelly roll is the best, though not as opaque and bright, is still great flows smoothly, and I have some that are few years old and still runs nice.💟

Guess i need to buy a pentel hybrid gel grip

[spacegirllost]

Gelly Roll may not be the brightest white, but it has yet to dry up on me in between uses. The Signo dried up almost immediately after the first use. Biggest disappointment.

I have the gelly roll I've learned that the 08 is a lot worse compared to the 10

[ariannaymarlene]

I have the sakura gelly roll pens and use them mainly for highlights and sometimes I prefer that it goes on so lightly because it helps me control how marked/bright I want the highlight and that way some stand out more than others. Sometimes I do wish it worked better though so i could use it for other stuff, so thank you for the side by side comparisons!!

[reanozeon]

Amazing testing 😄. I just love it and your channel always!

[samararobertson]

I would love to see them on watercolor!!

[JH-nosy]

Looks like the Pentel Hybrid Gel grip is it!

[streamgrapes]

does anyone know why the ink pools to the side in the first two while used on marker? such a cool effect either way but still wanna know why/how it happens :D

[vangogo]

I have always loved the Unibal Sigmo but it has changed, my pens dry up so quickly now, they never used to, and I use them with the same consistency as ever.

[lisac]

I have a few of those white pens and writing on black paper has been a challenge.

[nanetteatienza]

Can you try this on top of watercolor (after it has dried)? It seems like Pentel hybrid gel Grip DX works better on this testing. Pls try it on watercolor. Thx
