    • I almost hate writing with any other pens, the ink comes out smoothly and even though it's a 0.7 it isn't super thick.
    • The ink doesn't smear all over like so many of the gel pens, mainly because the point is such a fine point
    • so there's no smeared ink when you're writing
    • Quick drying ink and grip makes it easy to to hold and write with.
    • But for some reason, the purple ink really appeals to me
    • 5 years ago, i liked the energel ink, but i think pentel messed them up.
    • Nice ink
    • Still the best gel-ink in my mind.
    • Smooth, even ink application
    • The ink, while rich, can sometimes bleed through the thinnest of papers.
    • Smooth writing, consistent ink flow with no "skips" or "blank spots", flows across the paper with little resistence, nice bold ink colors.
    • These are good quality and the ink flows well
    • The ink is very dark and if the paper is too thin it will go through but for regular school notebook type of papers, these are fine.

    • These are still my favorite pens because the pen itself looks good and sleek, and the ink is great and dries very quickly.
    • So, to have a fine red ink pen that doesn't skip or smudge was essential
    • Diameter (grip) = 10.9 mm; Length = 14.8 cm; Weight = 0.45 oz; ink composition = dye-basedThe same quick drying, smudge resistant ink that's found in the conical tip pens but with a needle-point tip for better precision.

    • I love how the tip is just 0.5, and the ink is dark and smooth without coming out too thick or in clumps
    • This is a great inexpensive blue ink pen.

    • The blue ink is just as good, as I have both.
    • 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
    • These pens feel good in your hand as you write, and the ink flows smoothly and does not smear.
