Great pens for servers!

I’m a server for a popular chain restaurant so I write a lot. These pens hold their own every day. Most gel pens that advertise their quick drying features don’t live up to the hype.. except these. Super comfortable to write with for long periods a of time too. I can’t recommend them enough.

Like the pens--but--

The ink drys quickly but the line thickness seems the same as the gel pens with a .7mm I have used for years--this is rated .5 so was a little disappointed. Will be interested to see how well and long they last.

Good but not outstanding.

This is my first experience with the Tru Red brand. The pen size and texture are nice and comfortable. The gel ink IS pretty fast drying as advertised but I found that it feathers quite a bit on cheaper papers. And the 0.5mm is broader than my Pilot G2 0.7mm pens. I keep these pens in a cup on my desk for people to grab if they need a pen. They’re cheap enough that I don’t mind if I don’t get them back. Would really like a true 0.5mm.

On some paper types it doesn't flow too well - you can barely see the writing.
