I am the pen addict, but my sister is the true artist in the family, and she does interesting and beautiful work at her bookbinding studio, Shelter Bookworks. If you are interested in bookbinding, letterpress and design, do yourself a favor and checkout Shelter Bookworks and the accompanying Shelter Bookworks Blog.
The Uni-Ball Signo DX line are really some of the best pens going. As I branch out of my normal color spectrum of black and blue, this brown/black Signo looked very interesting, and I had a lot of readers that agreed, mentioning it to me several times. I have to say that I really like this color! It is just the right shade - I was concerned about it being too brown, but it is right in between the two colors, as it should be. The color is a bit hard to pick up in the picture though. I mentioned in the written review that I thought this pen was acting a little more scratchy than normal, and I did test it against two other 0.28mm Signo's that I have. It performs exactly the same as them, and I didn't notice it being overly scratchy. Maybe I was just having a moment and needed to get the ink really going.
If you want to branch out from some of the more basic colors, the Uni-Ball Signo DX Brown/Black is a good place to start.
