uniball™ 207 Pink Ribbon Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm), Black, 12 Pack | Supports City of Hope, fraud-resistant uni Super Ink, water & fade-resistant, textured rubber grip

Nice pens. They arrived quickly. The most of the time I write with these pens for notes, texts, greeting carts, recipes etc. I love the way they write. They are smooth and almost smudged free (quick air dry time for greeting cards). I have them in many colors and also in different sizes, such as 05 and 07. I also purchased fillers for them. The majority of the time I use the blue color. It makes it nice to take notes in different colors, especially for printed texts. I am so glad they put the color code on the top part of the pen for differentiation. But if I have two blue pens or two black pens in a drawer or desk in size 05 and 07, I have no way knowing which pen to pick, since they are identical to each other from the outside. It would be nice to have the size written on the pen.

Love these pens, but I almost threw them away. There is nothing on the package to let you know the ball point tip is dipped is some greenish blue plastic. You have to use your fingernails to remove that plastic and then it writes just fine. The main reason for these pens is the special ink in them. This ink cannot be erased chemically by crooks trying wash checks. This is a huge safety factor and for less than $2 per pen. It writes smoothly, glides quickly, looks really classy, and the line is not too thick or thin. Great pen, but remember to remove that tip cover.

I found one of these pens in one of those random boxes of craft supplies that tends to pile up when you have kids. It had to be at least a couple years old by the time I found it, but it wrote so smoothly and boldly that it instantly became my favorite pen. (That one pen you keep in your pocket or hidden under your keyboard; the one you refuse to loan out for fear of it getting stolen... If you're reading reviews for pens, you probably know what I mean.) I used it over the especially-rough 2020 holiday season for all my greeting cards, lesson plans, shopping lists, and even for inking and lettering a few illustrations and comic book pages. My hand glided across the papers with a confidence I didn't even know I had. When the findling pen began to wane, I realized I had to have more! My most recent favorites (a compromise between quality and quantity for the sake of economy) just didn't feel the same anymore... I realized I just couldn't go back. As a writer, calligrapher, and artist, I have used some very nice pens 'in my time' but these are by far the best for their price. PROS: The ink and roller ball are so lovely and smooth that you'll be inspired to write more! The ink has a strong color, especially if you allow for drying time (as opposed to blotting). Nice enough grip. If you're the type to accrue craft supplies in piles (like me) then buying some of these will be an awesome excuse to toss some older pens into the recycling bin. They seem to last forever. I put the findling through the gauntlet these past few months, and it's still going! I cracked the new pack to test them, and all 12 seem to be perfect. And apparently they have a pretty long shelf life. CONS: The ink does take a while to dry, especially on glossy papers. (Blotting helps, but it can also cause smearing and/ or fading. I learned the hard way! Please learn from my mistakes! Allowing time and space for air drying is best.) They're also a tiny bit more costly than my previous go-to pens, but the longevity, flow, and feel make them well worth it. I'll probably buy more of these to gift out for birthdays and holidays this year... and if I live long enough to use up (or lose... or have stolen... or run through the dryer...) the dozen I bought myself, I'll certainly buy more for myself as well!

I much prefer writing when the ink is wet and the pen's ball rolls easily rather than having to push hard to move a pen with drier ink. These are decent wet ink pens that have a reasonable life. Essentially disposable when the ink is exhausted but good for me doing fast writing.

'Been using these for about ten years, always from Amazon. Never a problem. I like the bold best, but haven't seen it lately. Pretty sure it is Nice pen, functions well.

Ok, I usually only write reviews for products or places that I either really like, or that I really want people to be wary of. Pens usually don't qualify in either category, although, as a teacher and a full time grad student taking online courses, I do have clear preferences in pens. I am currently enrolled in a College Algebra course (part of my Secondary Math Education Masters program), and taking tons of notes because it's been 25 years since the last time I took this course! So, I need a good quality pen to take the notes. I wanted a gel pen because they typically write more smoothly, and because I wanted multiple colors to keep things more organized. I went to the office supply store, looked at a number of different pens and decided, based on its packaging claims, to give this one a try. I have used many different types of gel pens over the years, and usually have a problem smudging the ink onto the side of my pinky (I don't have perfect hand positioning when I write, which is funny when I teach cursive writing!) I have had a number of other problems with gel pens over the years. Sometimes ink is distributed unevenly. Somebody mentioned in one post about the ink not flowing evenly throughout the letters, losing ink at the top. This has happened with other pens as well. I have even been reluctant at times to let students do their final drafts of their writing in gel pen because of the mess. Not with the Uni-ball 207 pens. These pens rock! They are a joy to write with! I have some arthritis in a couple of knuckles and a little neuropathy from meds I treated with a couple of years ago. These pens are extremely comfortable to me, and I like the way the rubber grip fits well in my fingers. The ink distributes evenly. The color is bold and a strong black. And, best of all, NO SMUDGES! I ran out of ink yesterday, so I ordered these as a replacement (oh, another benefit is just how much I was able to write with one pen. I was able to fill more than 1/2 of a marble composition book with one pen). You can get the refills, but the price of these four were comparable to two refills. When I ran out, I grabbed a Pentel gel pen that was nearby. Oh NO! Smudges!! I had forgotten that that even happened because I haven't had the slightest smudge with the Uni-ball. There are a lot of valid reasons and many different uses that people have posted in these reviews. But, if you want a pen that is an outstanding value for their price and will give you satisfaction with their use, buy these!!!! You will not regret it.

It's a good idea to use these pens when writing a check. I understand that they make it more difficult to "wash" the check (and substitute the name of a different payee and/or a different amount). They are nice to use otherwise, as well, if you want writing that shows up a bit better than that from a regular ballpoint pen.

These pens arrived fast! The faculty love these pens for writing feedback to our students. They write bold and smooth. No smearing or smudging. We will definitely be ordering these again.

Excelente producto

Mes stylos préférés en ce moment. L'encre est fluide et c'est un plaisir d'écrire avec.

Look great, feel great, last a good few weeks with every day use. I have received many compliments on my pen and how nicely it writes! So far only 1 out of maybe 10 has broken. Needs a few minutes to dry otherwise will smudge.

Perfect pens
