    Pentel EnerGel Deluxe RTX Retractable Liquid Gel Pen, Fine Line, Needle Tip, Blue Ink, Box of 12 (BLN75-C)

    • Such smooth writing and the ink dries quickly
    • I'm not a big fan of fine point pens but it writes well and the ink is nice and dark
    • Decent pens, the ink gets jammed up a lot and causes a lot of skipping
    • I love the fine blue ink
    • The ink is very consistent even at odd angles.
    • I love how the tip is just 0.5, and the ink is dark and smooth without coming out too thick or in clumps
    • These pens are the best if you like extra fine lines and gel ink
    • Dries very very quickly (doodled randomly everyday just to try to smear the ink but just laugh at how fast it dried)3
    • I can't say much about the build quality or how well the ink will protect you from something like check or signature fraud, though, so consider your options more carefully if that's what you're worried about
    • I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves fine ink pens and enjoys the traditional way of hand-writings.

    • No smearing with my left hand writing...smooth ink - love it!
    • The only half-negative thing I can say is that the ink glides so fast that my handwriting seems almost shaky, compared to when I write with "stickier" inks or pencils, which tend to slow my writing down

    • I love the fine tip on these pens, and the ink is very smooth and easy to write with.

    • Good, solid ink colors and a smooth-gliding line--awesome!
    • The ink itself is great, but the pen barrel is made of cheap plastic and breaks easily
    • Ink flows a little more smoothly and I love the needle tip
    • As with all gel pens, the ink gets depleted faster than ballpoint or liquid rollerball ink, and medium point of course uses more ink than fine point.
    • 5 years ago, i liked the energel ink, but i think pentel messed them up.
    • Good ink flow, they look snazzy, and the purple color is awesome
    • Perfect ink flow.
    • The ink is bright instead of dull, like most gel pens.
    • With other brands .5 can feel a little too fine, like I'm not getting enough ink out with each stroke, but these produce a nice even flow no matter if I'm writing with a lot of pressure or scribbling something down quickly
    • Smooth not scratchy, vivid ink.
    • This pen is very high quality, writes smoothly, ink dries fast, doesn't smudge, run or smear, and feels nice in your hand.

    • good flow, smooth, decent quality ink

    • My favorite ink pens
    • As a nurse who doesn’t have the luxery of electric charting I need a good pen and this has fulfilled all my dreams of tiny print and solid ink!
    • I've also tried Ink Joy Gel, but it bleeds thru paper and it fails to write even with more than half of ink left!
    • Fine lines and nice ink flow, and very comfortable to hold.
    • I love the needle tip and the ink is great.
    • PROS:● Excellent overall; writes smoothly; never skips, which is something many competitive gel-ink
    • The ink comes out smooth and consistent
    • The ink dries up quickly therefore no smudges
    • The ink is perfect and doesn’t bleed
    • Love the gel ink and the .5mm tip, but the pen's upper barrel cracks where the lower barrel screws in
    • The ink in this pen is absolutely phenomenal, not to mention 1/30th the price of my Namiki pen
    • The ink doesn't smear all over like so many of the gel pens, mainly because the point is such a fine point
    • It writes very smoothly and the ink is nice and dark
    • Other pens I've tried (liquid/gel types) would smear ink across the side of my hand and on paper, not the case with this pen
    • The ink is so smooth.
    • The barrel is light, the ink is silky smooth, and it dries quickly.
    • Loved the dark ink and smooth flow.
    • The ink was lovely but the pens would not stay together
    • Still the best gel-ink in my mind.
    • Get blue ink though because for some reason the black ink pools at the tip of the pen and smudges when using it
    • Smooth not scratchy, vivid ink.
    • These pens feel good in your hand as you write, and the ink flows smoothly and does not smear.
    • Not only that, but the lines are confidently darker than the uni-ball Vision and on par with the Precise V5 ink, but without the frequent bleeding, pooling, and slow drying that you sometimes get from liquid inks - Pilot is a particularly egregious offender here if you don't spring for expensive stationery
    • The ink is smooth every time and every day I use it
    • It is cool because the ink is gel like, but super thin and drys fast.
    • Don't like purple ink
    • Better than the G2 hands down the ink smears like crazy and preferred over the signo 207 micros as they get a bit scratchy in 0.5mm size
    • The ink dries relatively quickly compared to other gel pens and doesn't bleed through too easy.
