I even included two in a pirthday gift. I got a perfunctory thank you for the gift and a rave and excitement for the pens. (I included two hoping the reciever would share w his partner....but not likely.)

The ink flows easily without any smearing. Lines are thicker than I prefer depending on the paper written on. Would not work for signing checks but for sketching or crossword puzzles they are fine. Comfortable to hold easy to click open and closed.

Pen initially is great - got a good feel. The flow of the ink is great! The only thing I'm not been able to do is put the pin in a car through a winter and really test it out in the long run. I imagine it'll work out okay.

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