Easy to write with, no problems.

Since then I have had problems every day with it leaking

I contacted Pilot concerning the problem I was having with these pens.

so I don't have the smearing problem!

First, the rolling ball style ink can smear a bit with a heavy hand; a problem particularly for left-handed writers

The only real problem that I frequently have is my clients take a fancy to my pen and want to keep it - they are THAT good.

They feel like better quality than my other pens but i wish the ink issue wasn't a problem

I haven't had any smearing problems.
