Advantages: The ink washes out and the pens do not dry up if the top left of for over 14 days

Disadvantages: none

We use Berol broad tipped fibre tipped pens at the school where I work.
One of my first jobs in the morning is to take out the tray of these pens and put them within easy reach of my students.

These broad tip pens are good for writing or colouring pictures they make bold illustrations. They are good for labeling posters too.
A wet brush or finger can be used to create a colour wash effect after colouring. . My students are happy to use these broad tipped pens and I am happy with the results.

Berol broad fibre tip pens are one of the many stationary items made by Berol. Berol is owned by Sanford which is one of the biggest writing product manufacturers.
These pens come in 12 standard colours, black, blue, red, light blue, brown. Green , light green , yellow, pink , grey, purple , orange and 12 extra colours deep brown , deep red, magenta,, turquoise , terracotta, peach , violet,, bold green , bright blue, ultra blue , bright red, deep yellow.

You can buy these fibre tip pens in packs of 12 standard mixed colours or 12 extra colours or a pack of 24 with all the colours. They are also available in larger classroom packs. It is possible to buy packs of the individual coloured pens.
These pens are available on line at http://www.berol.com/productDetail.asp?sectorID=9& amp;productID=7 and other on line stationary stores too. . These pens are available from the stationary catalogues which schools receive. You could also buy these broad fiber tip pens in off line stationary shops in the high street too.

These pens make a broad line 1.77mm they are a good product the colours bold. The pens seem to last quite a long time. The fibre tips of these pens are rounded. They are not easily pushed in by children pressing too hard.
A big advantage to these pens is that the pens do not dry out quickly if the lids are left of. My students have a great habit of not putting lids on pens. I have not done a test to see how long the pens take to dry out but Berol says they will not dry out if lids left of for at least 14 days.
The ink of these pens is washable; I have washed pen marks from these pens of most of my work clothes successfully.

Yes I would recommend these pens both for school or home use.
