: White Ink Pens for Dark Paper

A white ink pen that actually shows on black paper is harder to find than it sounds. Most fail because the ink is semi-transparent — fine on white, invisible on dark. The pens here use genuinely opaque pigment-based ink, which means a single pass gives you a clean, bright white line whether you are working on black card, toned paper, dark sketchbook pages, or over a watercolour wash.

The Sakura Gelly Roll Classic White is the benchmark gel ink option, available in Fine (0.3mm), Medium (0.5mm), and Bold (0.8mm). The Sakura Pen-Touch gives you the same opacity in an oil-based paint marker format that adheres to glass, ceramic, metal, and most non-porous surfaces as well as paper. The Pigma Micron PN and Pigma Sensi offer a finer archival line for illustration work where precision matters more than coverage.
