uniball Vision Rollerball Pens, Fine Point (0.7mm), Blue, 5 Pack

Good pens

This has become my go to disposable pen. It’s always super smooth until it runs out. Has nice feel and the blue is opaque and bright. The Pilot V7 is the black pen I would recommend too.

These pens sell themselves. They are always reliable and easy on the hands to use.

My favorite pens that write easily with a good balance between ink quality and ease of writing and sturdy hold.

This Uni-Ball product is a good, serviceable office pen. The ink flows smoothly and retains a deep, rich color that verges on cobalt blue. The line is a little thicker than a razor point but useful for many purposes, and the ink lasts a long time. In fact, ink chemistry has advanced so far that pens seem to last forever. Amazing. It is still preferable to sign originals of important letters, documents and other legal papers in blue ink so you can always distinguish them from copies. And some people simply prefer blue to black.But none of that accounts for a mystery about blue ink pens. A set of eight jewel-colored pens from the same company costs $12.08, while this package of five pens costs $12.49. Doesn’t make sense, does it? You would think that a set of pens of different colors would cost more. And that is true not only of this brand but also of the Pilot Razor point pens I usually order and generally prefer. (For some reason, Uni-ball pens are more expensive than the Pilot Razor Point, which may run out of ink a little sooner. I am testing that theory.) Maybe there is a blue ink conspiracy? Maybe the Forces of Black Ink are depressing the supply? One of life’s mysteries to ponder.

Great writing pen.

These are my favorite pens. They are the perfect color, they write smoothly, but with enough friction (the friction of the pen on paper affects the quality of my handwriting, and these are perfect). A reasonable price and the pens individually last a long time (a single pen lasted me almost a whole semester of notetaking). They don't smudge. Ink sometimes accumulates around the tip, but it doesn't affect the writing. Sometimes the side of the pen gets scratched off a little bit, but for a disposable pen, that doesn't bother me.

This is a good quality pen, that I enjoy. However, I don't use enough of them to justify buying the full boxes that everyone else sells. This seller packages them in smaller packages, so I'm less likely to have them drying out from lack of use. I hate that fact about modern stores like Staples, OfficeMax, etc.... you have to buy a dozen of any item, even if your a small, self-employed individual. Thanks to online vendors who give us realistic options.
