Dong-A Fine-Tech Excellent Writing, 0.3 mm, Gel Ink Roller Ball Pens, Black (Pack of 12)

These pens are very dependable, I know they will write every time I use one. I actually use these pens till they run out of ink ! I have both blue and black and have rebought them several times. Great price also. I often give them away while at a place that I’m writing or filling out paperwork. People are impressed with how thin and neat they write. I’ve given them to several doctors. The picture shows how I use them till the ink is COMPLETELY gone. This one still writes great. But it shows that I need to order more.

It's not the most comfortable or nice-looking, but it's the smoothest 0.38mm gel pen I've written with to date. I've tried about 5 others (including Muji), and they all skipped every so often or more than every so often. I have yet to experience any skips in ink with these pens. If I compare it with other gel pens I've tried in general (20+ brands), it is still one of the only ones that stands out because the ink doesn't skip.The ink is also very dark and looks nice. I kinda wish the pen itself was a bit longer, so it could be more balanced in my hand, but that's personal preference.Overall, I'm very satisfied with these and will probably continue to buy more from this brand next time I need more 0.38 gel pens.

So, I'm conflicted. I ordered the 12pk of these pens in black ink and I received a 10pk of the assorted colors, which is a totally different listing (ordered from Amazon Warehouse which might have something to do with it.) However, I decided to try them out and I LOVE them. The ink is smooth and flows nicely, they're not scratchy (especially compared to my beloved Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.3) and the colors are vibrant and great for color coding my planner and notes for school. So on the one hand, I received the wrong item, but on the other hand, I like these pens so much that I decided to keep the colored ones and order another 12pk of black. Regardless, these pens are worth the 5 stars. Crossing my fingers that I get the right ones this time!

Fine point, when I’d erase my pencil drawing the dried ink didn’t smear, no bleeding and fanning out even on low quality drawing paper. These are my favorite pens by far. I had many in my pencase, but these were the pens I consistently grabbed.I wouldn buy them again.

I have used this pen since I was in Korea. It is okay in general, but some pens' ink does not come out well. Also, I got a used pen in a dozen sets, which is frustrating. Other than that, it is fine.

The color selection is really nice. I originally found this brand of pens when I visited S. Korea in 2011. I bought 5 of the red pens (they were sold individually in a stationery store) and was devastated when I finally ran out of ink after returning to the US. I couldn't find these in any of the many Asian or stationery stores in my area and after visiting all the stores I could, I kind of gave up looking for them. I found one of my empty pens and was suddenly hit with a nostalgia for the smooth writing pen and decided to look it up here on Amazon.My only issue is that every time you uncap some of these, there's a solid minute of needing to scribble on scrap paper before the ink starts flowing smoothly again. I find that once you get the ink flowing, it doesn't peter out, but after you first uncap it, it dies very quickly. Have scrap paper nearby and don't start right on your work if you want it to look nice. Get the ink flowing properly before beginning to write on the surface of choice.

After writing one sentence the pen would no longer have ink!The black pens work well but not in this beautiful purple color.I wish I can still return these crappy pens!

I love this pen! Since the first day I bought this pen, I have been buying them ever since. I have really tiny penmanship that’s why I like this pen. To me it looks neat. This is the only pen that I’ve used that actually emptied out the entire ink. Other pens won’t work after few accidental drop. The shipping was pretty fast. Got here before the said date.
