As a medical professional and student I spend more time than I care with a pen in my hand. I had hoped this true red would be a solid replacement. Unfortunately the ink shows intermittent loss of writing. While I will not be making these my primary pen I’m ok with making them my patient pens.(pens I loan out for patients to sign but I don’t use personally)
The pens dry quickly and the colors are pretty. The pen is thick for a better grip. I love these pens. I plan on getting more packs in the mere future!
I’ve generally shied away from gel pens because they’ve always leaked smeared or bled through paper. I tried these at the store and liked the way they felt so I bought a pack of blue ink .7 mm tip pens and I love them. I’ve been using them for the last week and they don’t smear or leak and they barely bleed through thinner notebook paper. While the writing is a little visible through notebook paper and my check register paper it’s not very bad and it’s not blotchy. I think I’m going to get a pack of .5 mm tip pens as well.
I write a lot and as the hands age the comfort factor for pens changes as well. I tried these out in the store and that comfort level surprised me. They are substantial but not heavy balanced perfectly so the hand/wrist doesn't have to constantly compensate and the ink flow is just right with no drag or extra effort needed to maintain an even flow of words. If you are like me and have difficulty finding a pen that can be used for long documents with no pain or strain I highly recommend that you try these. And they come in pretty colors too!
