Zento Gel Ink Rollerball Pens, 12 Black Medium Point Smooth Writing Pens, Colored Japanese Pens, Zen Colors

LDR: Super-smooth, quick-drying black gel ink in an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and environmentally conscious barrel. A top-tier choice for effortless, smudge-free writing. I recently purchased the 12-pack of Uniball Zento Gel Ink Rollerball Pens because I was in the market for a reliable, super-smooth pen for long-form note-taking and journaling. My initial impression was excellent: the sleek, minimalist design is immediately appealing, and the moment I put the pen to paper, the writing experience was noticeably superior. The "medium point" (0.7mm) combined with the new liquid gel ink formula promised an effortless glide, and it absolutely delivered. In real-world use, the Zento pens truly shine. They perform consistently without skipping, delivering a dark, uniform black line that makes handwriting look crisp and clean. The biggest standout feature is the ink's quick-drying property. As someone who writes fairly quickly, smearing is a constant issue with gel pens, but the Zento ink dries so fast that it's virtually smudge-resistant, which is a massive win. The seamless soft grip is comfortable and helps prevent hand fatigue during extended writing sessions. The barrel itself, made from 76% recycled material, adds an unexpected layer of satisfaction to the purchase. The only minor point of consideration is that the black ink, while dark and vivid, is sometimes described as slightly lighter than the deepest black of some other Uniball lines, but this is a very fine distinction. Pros Super-Smooth Writing: The liquid gel ink provides an effortless, non-scratchy writing experience. Quick-Drying Ink: Significantly reduces smudging and is excellent for fast writers and left-handers. Comfortable Grip/Design: The minimalist barrel with a seamless soft grip is comfortable for long-term use. Eco-Friendly Barrel: Made from 76% recycled plastic, aligning with environmental consciousness. Strong, Functional Clip: The spring-loaded wire clip is durable and easily attaches to notebooks or pockets. Cons Ink Blackness: Some users find the black ink, while very good, is not the absolute deepest shade of black compared to some other premium gel pens. Refill Availability/Compatibility: While the pen body is refillable (often taking other Uniball refills), the specific Zento refill may not be as universally available as others. Verdict The Uniball Zento Gel Ink Rollerball Pen is an absolute winner and easily warrants a 5-star rating. It is best for anyone who values a remarkably smooth, quick-drying, and consistent writing experience for everyday use, professional work, or intensive note-taking. If you've been looking for a reliable, smudge-free pen that is both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to hold, the Zento is well worth the price.

Perfeitos

These are my new "Go-to" pen. They write extremely easily and are smudge resistant if left for a second to dry. The barrel is comfortable in my hands which I find great, along with the longevity of the ink.

I work as a nurse so having a good pen is vital to me. The gel in is good consistent and no streaks ever left. The pen feels good to write with, ergonomic in feel. The softness of the plastic is an added bonus. The metal clip is very useful and clips well.

A practical well balanced and executed pen.
