I love the way these pen write but there is never enough ink in them. It's like is a 2 week trial size in it. After 2 weeks I have to buy new ones cause where I buy these they NEVER have the refills for them. These pens are not cheap just to use for two weeks and add to the junk drawer. I give it a 2 star rating but would be a 5 star if they lasted longer. I'd recommend this to a friend if it lasted longer
the barrel is the perfect feel...however the ink is not smooth at all very scratchy, combine the z mulsion ink technology with the f402 and that would be the perfect pen....in my opinion. so why did you guys stop making the z mulsion ink anyway?
I love the way your blue f 402 writes however, I have had nothing but frustration with the last two I purchased. They write fine for a while and then begin skipping and don't write at all. There looks like there is plenty of ink in them but they only work awhile and then quit. Very frustrated and disappointed with your product. And these are not the first set of your pens that have done this. Your blue f301 has done this same thing to me over and over.
Love the pen, very much miss the metal refills. Any chance the metal refills are still available? For us pilots they work better in pressurized and especially unpressurized environments. Thank you
Here lately everytime I buy the Zebra F 402. They are not working like they used to. I bought a pack of 2 and they both quit working after a week if use. They used to be the best pens on the market. Especially for someone like me who writes small.
I love the pen...but not the plastic insert which has stripped out and made the pen, pretty much, useless. It makes me want to shy away from Zebra. I also have a Zebra Mini that I LOVE, but I like having a steel full-sized all of the time
I too have found that I am unable to use this pen for more than about a week before the ink starts skipping. This problem happens also with the refills. Sounds like this is a common problem and I am not sure if there is a way to address this problem, if so I would be interested in hearing from the Zebra, if not then they should really discontinue this pen altogether.
