but it seems to either bleed too much ink and look sloppy or not print any ink at all

Nice smooth stroke, but the ink runs out WAY to fast and they cost to much for that!

Reliable ink delivery and comfortable "fat" grips.

Two of the five did not have rich ink lines while writing, rather they were a bit scratchy

Other pens like to glob ink all over the place and then smear everywhere, but not the G2

I enjoy what the ink looks like once pressed to paper..

However, the lime green pen is kind of useless - i don't know if the one in my package was just defective or what, but it's way too light, and the ink doesn't glide smoothly like other G2 pens

Overall, the breadth of colors and the smooth dispensing ink (which dries relatively quickly) make this a great pen set.

Smooth ink flow, almost friction-less writing

If you need an ink pen for regular work at home or in the office, I cannot recommend the Pilot G2 Retractable Premium Gel Roller Ink Pen - its unreliable ink delivery is a deal-breaker for serious work.- Chipper F. Xavier, Esq.

Good ink amount, nice click, firm and soft rubber grip so it won't fall off after heavy use, writes smoothly and won't bleed through very much

Writes beautifully, ink is vibrant, and doesn't blot when pausing like some pens tend to do.

The pens provide a consistent ink flow that keeps them writing for months, even when used a lot

The ink is nice, durable and dark

The ink gently flows out like a steady stream instead of gushing out and flooding my paper with black pools that reflect my horrified face back to me

This blue pilot pens write very clean and the ink is flawless!

The writing with it is so easy on the hand... and the pen has enough ink to last..... thank you Pilot for this affordable pen and thank you Amazon for providing it at an affordable price.

They write beautifully and without smearing the ink

If you like gel ink, you can't go wrong with these.

I like these--nice rolling ball-points; bright red inks.

I really like that they work until the Ink runs out and don't just die randomly like many pens do.

The ink will smudge with water.

Good ink quality.

The ink in the Pilot G2 glides smoothly across the page and it doesn't smear, which is important because I'm left-handed

My favorite ink pens, smooth writing, comfortable grip.

I think their green is the best looking green ink you can get.--versatility-all levels of fine points work well, from standard bold to ultra fine (historically, fine point gels/rollers have stunk)--write on most anything-these will write on paper products many other pens struggle with, such as Super Sticky PostIts--value--try to find a pen that writes this well for anywhere remotely close to the price

Only teal ink was strong

Amazing colors and very consistent ink.

Great ink pens

Well they have a fat barrel, a rubber grip and lay down some seriously smooth ink that doesn't make my hand cramp like every other pen in the free world

Ink can be just a tiny tad slow to dry, but worth it for how they write.

Smooth ink and so easy to write with these

They write so smoothly and have dark ink

Great product, good quality ink, pens work very well

the ink is nice and rich in color

Ink is clear on the paper

Especially nice ink flow in the fine point, easy to use, no cramping with hands or fingers that are achy/sore from arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc

Writing and travel are pretty consistent and the red ink is the best for editing and grading

The ink flows smoothly with no breaks or runs, and does not bleed thru paper (notebook paper, post-its, etc)

These Pens wright very dark ink on the

I set it down for a while and the ink seemed to come into the tip again, but only worked for about eight words and died out again

Plus, it writes smoothly and doesn't have the dots of missing ink.

Especially nice ink flow in the fine point, easy to use, no cramping with hands or fingers that are achy/sore from arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc

Ultra smooth writing & nice ink.

However 3 of the colors did not work well, the ink appears to be dried out

Really smooth writing pen, with beautiful green ink

these do not bleed like older wet designs have--fast drying-these smear very, very little (red and purple tends to smear more than the other colors, for whatever reason FYI)--durable ink-this ink holds up better over time than older generation gel/rollerballs have and resists fading from UV light super well--colors-blue, black, green, and red all use colors that are easy on the eyes, give good contrast, and aren’t ugly

These multi-color pens have very vivid ink.

These are good pens-- decent ink flow, doesn't get goopy, lasts a good while.

I get the boring blue and black, but they write nice, and the ink flows well

I prefer blue ink and these are a nice shade of blue

I've tried a lot of different types of pens, and these are the best affordable ink pen set I've used

The only pens I write with, smooth writing, nice ink.

The ink doesn't bleed through paper

Well they have a fat barrel, a rubber grip and lay down some seriously smooth ink that doesn't make my hand cramp like every other pen in the free world

The ink is good and the pen writes nice.

I love the smooth ink flow, no gaps or skips

BUT the ink drawn like hella fast.

Beautiful, smooth ink, last a good long time, and feel great in the hand.

Smooth flowing ink.

My only gripe is that the ink doesn't set very well and you need to let it dry a bit or you will get it all over your hand

The ink is smooth and doesn't bleed through.

Good feel in hand, smooth action on paper, dark ink

I need to correct (in red) important documents and these pens are superb at providing a fluid and crisp thin line of bright red ink through the original type that needs correcting.

If they crapped as the ink well ran dry, fine, but they don't

The colors are bright and the ink is super smooth

nice ink and very smooth

Ink is very slow to dry

The ink also flows but doesn't smudge

The ink dries quickly and doesn't smear.

Love the purple ink

and she doesn't smudge ink with these.

The black ink is a little too tacky and tends to glob up on the tip

Anyway, the ink they put in came out like a champ and the colors were indeed colorful.

It's high quality manufacturing ensures that I never end up with an ink stain and the comfort

And I needed a good pen for school and gel pens don't always work for me because my hand runs across the paper and smears my ink

The ink is dark and flows wells.

Delicious red ink flows from this marvel of human engineering

Enjoy using purple ink and like the way the Pilot G2 puts out the ink - no leakage!

Ink runs smoothly and I love the light blue color

These are my favorite ink pens and I love this color pack for my desk calendar.

The ink doesn't smear.

They are comfortable to write with for long periods of time due to the comfort grip, and the ink flows very well and dries quickly

The ink is smooth and colors are beautiful

first, they have a generous ink supply and second, they're not much more expensive than the older type pens

Damp wet hands, rain, sweat, condensation from a drink... any amount of liquid moisture smudges the ink.

Smooth ink flow

The ink is very smooth but does smear when you highlight them even when the ink is left to dry for a few minutes

the is the bleed, but the ink is really vivid and strong, the point is fine so is really accurate on your handwriting

The ink is replaceable and never stops writing until it's out

I bought these years ago and the ink is still good

The ink comes thru the page, not smooth when writing.

Good pens, good ink, nice fine

Best retractable pens ever, the ink last longer and is very thick when writing

These don't write well, the ink is not very dark and they LEAK

Very fluent ink flow from barrel.

The G2 is a great pen - soft flowing ink

Skip free fine point gel ink.

Great ink pen

On slicker paper, such as cards, I did have some smearing of my hand brushed the ink while writing, not as fast drying as I would like, but not a big deal if you are careful

The ink doesn't leak and is very vibrant

The only thing that could be improved is the ink being more consistent with a ball point instead, other than that, it's very good for the price.

The ink dries fast and never smears

The ink is very smooth but does smear when you highlight them even when the ink is left to dry for a few minutes

The ink is nice and dark and they there is minimal to no skips in

I love these, but not all of the colors in the pack have that smooth "G2" gel ink feel.

The ink will smudge when wet but, once dry, it is quite stable.

writes smooth ink is GREEN

My favorite non permanent ink pen

Ink seems spotty at times.

I'm left handed, and found that I didn't have those annoying ink stains/smudges after using these pens

Super smooth ink flow and the color is dark enough to work as well as blue or black

Enjoy using purple ink and like the way the Pilot G2 puts out the ink - no leakage!

ink lasts pretty good when you're using one, mainly for everything.

The only reason I give 4 and not 5 stars is that the ink in the pink and purple colors is sometimes a bit "choppy" when coming out

Good，I really like it
