I bought these on a whim and ended up loving them so much I used them to address wedding invitations!

This pen writes nicely and does not smear. It is a comfortable pen to use.

My TRU RED black ink pens write well with little skipping and only slight tendency to soak through the paper. But I noticed on a paper that had a cold drink on it the condensation from the glass had pretty much made the writing disappear. Tested a TRU RED a Jetstream and a Sharpie let dry 20 minutes after writing and then dribbled a few drops of city tap water on it. The TRU RED immediately started running and blurring the other two pen lines did not run noticeably even after several minutes. TRU RED appears good for writing notes for short-term use but I would not recommend for checks legal documents or anything important that you need to keep for a long time - other pens are much more resistant to water spills.

I have been using Pilot G2 for years and finally a great alternative and so many colors to choose from that I have been looking for.

These pens seemed to be good pens but when i got home and started using them in my office it was a whole diffrent story. They cut in and out alot. I tried EVERY pen in the box and they all did the same thing. I live super far from the nearest staples or i would have returned them. You have to write super slow to get them to work right. I cant even write my name without a missing spot.

Love the pens and tip size. Plus they are acid free. I use them to sign my canvas artwork and think they are the best option I have ever used

I bought a box to check out the new product and have been very pleased so far.The ink is quick drying I am a lefty so smudging is an issue for me with other pens. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the product line.
