   I used these pens in an office before, and since I really enjoyed the writing quality and the easy to hold without any writing fatigue. I bought these for my personal usage. The ink flows freely as the pen makes contact with the paper without any pressure. It is fast drying as you can see when writing from slick shiny color it starts to dry (very satisfying to watch). Just careful as you write before letting it dry as you might experience some smearing. Also personal experience, don’t hold the pen in contact with the paper too long as the ink starts to spread, when done, close pen with the cap before putting it a pocket or in storage. Each pen will last a long time before using another one.

   I am a senior in college and take notes a lot! I have been using these pens since junior high and have tried many other pens (from Bic disposables to Cross fountain pens) and these are my personal favorite. The ballpoint is very fine, and the ink will outlast the paper you write it on. As evidence to this, in 6th grade I accidently poked my hand with this pen and it left a black dot underneath the skin in my palm still visible to this day!(my first tattoo…) Since then this pen has LITERALLY become a part of me; this pen really is amazing. I love the look, feel, weight, style, and everything about it.

   Some other reviewers mentioned they run out of ink quickly. True the uni-ball vision may seem to run out of ink faster than a cheapo disposable, but this is because the output of ink in this pen is much thicker and consistent than those throwaway barrel pens. For example with a Bic roundstic you can draw a line, then go over that line again and it will get darker. You could even do this a third and maybe fourth time and the line will become increasingly darker (as well as carve a dent into your paper.) Not with this pen. It is as dark as it gets the first time, with a non-forceful contact on the page. Because of its copious flow of ink, there is some occasional smudging, but this does not happen very often and the ink dries very fast.

   The pen is well under the $5 range on a per pen basis, but performs comparably to many pens which cost in the $20 and up range, so the price makes a lot of sense in relation to its quality. Plus, if you are doing large amounts of writing or administration work during the day, the small perfections of the uni-ball vision really start to make a HUGE difference. I don’t want to keep rambling on about a PEN, but this is a great pen and I highly recommend you try it for yourself; they are delightful to write with.

   My favorite pen for fine line doodling over watercolor! Well made, ink lasts and the lines are crisp and smooth. Great value buying in bulk. I keep these pens in every room where I write notes and make art work.

   I love these. They are uniball pens but super thin so they are less likely to leak through thin paper. They last a long time. They are worth the slightly higher cost. Much cheaper if you buy in bulk. My go-to pen. I buy a lot of them in case they ever stop making them because I don’t want to use any other pens. A++++
