Another round of pens refreshed. 5x Jinhao 82. I don't use these often because the highlighter inks are too light. I didn't really clean most of these, just a quick rinse/flush and re-fill with what they had. The green one was extremely clogged. Took multiple soaks (one in pen flush mix) and three rounds in the ultrasonic cleaner to get it flowing.

Inks R-L: Fluorescent Green, Bright Orange, Fluorescein Yellow, Bright Pink, Brilliant Red

Photo collage of two sheets with writing samples. Each line has the color name followed by an "x" and a curlicue. From top to bottom they read: Green, Orange, Yellow, Pink, and Red The left sheet is in natural light, the right sheet is in UV light. The writing on the left is faint, barely legible except for the orange and red lines which are slightly more legible than the others. The writing on the right is glowing brightly, especially the Yellow and Green lines.
