Because pigma pens use pigment based ink and not dye based ink, they do not fade, the colors are consistent and they do not bleed. I get mine from Dick Blick, an art supply store. They aren't the cheapest, but they have the widest variety...15 colors and 6 point sizes (I get way too much stuff there :oops: ). http://www.dickblick.com/products/sa...ma-micron-pen/

Thank you all for your input. I will try and find one next time I go to the big city. :-)

I have a set with 16 colors, so there is a lot of selection. I use them on all my labels and also for tiny details on applique.

look for the gelly roll pens. they average between $1 and $2 here in NYC and come in a jillion colors. I don't advise using their sparkly colors or the ones that change color when erased. They are fabulous and I use them when I work with kids because the kids love the colors.
