The moment a unit involves black paper, scratchboard, dark card or a night sky, every student wants white at the same time, and there are three pens between them. Twenty solves that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA 1mm nib is broad for a gel pen\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that is deliberate. A fine white line on black looks weak. A 1mm line reads as a highlight - a rim of light on an object, a star, a line of stitching, a moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic pigment ink is what makes it opaque.\u003c\/strong\u003e A dye-based white goes grey on dark paper.

Zart does not give a figure.
