Love ball point pens, they write so smooth. Colors are vibrant except green. Soft grip, doesn’t make my fingers hurt. Helps keep my work notes organized by day.

Love these pens, they glide on the paper and don’t smear hardly at all. I need blue ink for originals and these are bright and legible. Someone always steals it before I come to the end of one, but the ones I do manage to keep ahold of tend to last! Affordable and feels good in my hand!

I absolutely love these pens. The colors are great, can be blotchy sometimes if you choose the bold ink. But they are sturdy, smooth and easy to grip. I also loved that as a fast writer, the ink doesn't smear as it dries very quickly!

I love the pretty colors! Ink flows nicely after it gets started!

Let me preface by saying I’m a professional writer, which is almost always accompanied by an obsession with pens. I have hundreds of pens in my desk, but they will sit there as sentimental tokens probably for the rest of my life as this pen has been my go-to and absolute favorite for over a decade.Forget gel pens—those aren’t smooth, they’re slippery, and the ink is inconsistent—it pools and sputters.This pen (specifically the 1.4mm mind you, the 1.0mm is not even close, so be careful if you decide to purchase these elsewhere) gives you the boldness of a gel pen with a wonderfully consistent ink flow and incredibly comfortable grip. Plus, despite its boldness, it does not bleed or even show through the opposite side of the page (crucial for planners and journals).The *only* drawback is that if you use it for extended periods on cheap paper (like dollar legal pads), the tip will accumulate the fibers from the paper, and this will affect the ink flow. It’s never permanent, though, you can get it flowing again. This does NOT happen on quality paper.
