The best pen for writing on card is generally an Ultra-Fine Sharpie.
While regular ballpoint pens can work, they often struggle on slick card surfaces, intermittently stopping and requiring you to scribble on regular paper to restart the ink flow. Ultra-Fine Sharpies provide a more reliable and consistent writing experience on cardstock.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Ultra-Fine Sharpies: These are a go-to choice due to their fine point, allowing for precise writing, and their ink which adheres well to most card surfaces.
-
Ballpoint Pens: Can be used, but be aware of potential issues:
- Skipping: The ink might not flow smoothly on glossy or coated cards.
- Remedy: Scribble on paper occasionally to get the ink flowing again.
Therefore, for the most reliable and consistent results when writing on card, choose an Ultra-Fine Sharpie.
