I got the 1.0 nib. Nice and bold as I had hoped. It does take quite a while to dry so smudges are a problem.

Easy to use comfortable in my hand and no skipping as in regular ball point pens. I recommend them.

I had never heard of Tru Red retractable gel pens until someone recommended them. Wow! They write smoothly and dry quickly.

Quick Dry Black Gel Pen Medium Point 1.0mm unsatisfactory performance.

I love the feel of this pen and it performed well for about the first hour of use. But then it started skipping. I tried shaking it in hopes gravity would advance the ink to the ballpoint. I was writing on “Georgia Pacific brand Advantage Premium Bright” copier/printer paper. I changed pens multiple times trying (medium point fine point and extra fine point) to see if it might be the paper surface that was causing the problem of skipping however all of the different pens I tested wrote perfectly fine on that same copier paper surface. I should also mention that I unscrewed the pen to check the ink level through the see-through cartridge/reservoir and the ink level was at way more than half probably 3/5 full. I hope this review helps your QC department to improve it’s performance and longevity. Please send me more of these pens or email me coupons so I buy more. Thank you

I like gel tips However.The set that I bought turned out to be a thicker point than I wanted even tho I thought I checked but I will be using this for artistic purposes and writing and it will be fine for both in different cases.The tip size might be more easily seen eg bolder and larger font on the package for those of us whose eyesight is getting blurry.

I bought the pens with a lot of excitement. After using them I’m disappointed. The pens tend to skip when writing. I like the boldness but don’t use the pens as much as I like.
