G107 Gel Ink Rollerball Pen with 0.7 mm Tip - Black (Pack of 12)

This pen is incredible, worth every penny. As someone who writes quite lightly, this pen helps to make my writing bold and jet black with little effort, which is great! However the ink-drying isn't quick on this pen. It takes about 20 seconds for the ink to fully dry, anything under that and you'll get varying degrees of smudging; I mean, that's if you're writing from bottom to top or drawing a diagram, otherwise for essay writing you shouldn't have any smudging problems. I've used this pen for about 6 months now, and that's really the only problem I have with the pen, all other areas are to perfection. Pros: Lightweight Sturdy tip Comfortable Great solid lines You can see how much ink is left Cons: Slow drying (thus smudging) Runs out of ink faster than most pens (went through 4 pens in 4 months, I'm a university student, so I guess a pen per month isn't too bad, but I've had other pens which have lasted half a year)

I've been using these pens for the last 5 years as my general daily driver. They're a great all-round pen for writing essays, taking notes, or just about anything that requires ink. The ink takes a little bit longer than I'd like to dry (about 10 seconds) so you have to be a bit careful not to smear it.

I used to work in a stationery shop, some 17 years ago. When this pen was first released for sale the shop bought some & I fell in love with it's smooth writing style & ease of use. For me, the 0.7 nib is perfect, not too fine nor scratchy (I find the 0.5 scratchy) and it's so nice to hold in your hand, it fits comfortably. Fast forward some 15-16 years later & I am still in love with this pen. Thank you Pilot Pen Company for making such a great pen! Oh, whilst working for Roundabout Stationery, we marketed this as Roundabout's Favourite Pen for a few months - we did not have any disappointed customers!

Great product but I rated 3 stars because the lid comes off the pens very easily causing ink to go everywhere. Very nice to write with but can smudge easily just like most pens.

I used to buy these pens regularly from an independent stationer, now sadly closed. I relied on them so much that rather than go to another brand, I searched on-line and was delighted to find them at such a fantastic price. They are great to write with, feel great in your hand, and are amazing value from this supplier. You really can trust these pens - I have nothing but admiration for them (and I speak as one who has spent a lifetime in book publishing and is a major stationery freak).

I have been buying this make of pen for easily ten years now and would not dream of trying any others.I LOVE them. I use them an awful lot each day and they never fail to work.I always try to buy the 0.7 as I take a great pride in my handwriting and find these more pleasing to myself than the 0.5 even though I have used them a number of times when I couldn't get the 0.7.Even if I was a millionaire, I would still buy these pens as you could not better them.

These are my favourite pens for journalling and I usually love how smoothly they write. This batch is such poor quality, it feels cheaper than what I have previously experienced with this pen; the ink doesn't flow through the way I'm used to. I'm using a new pen out the box and having to shake it in order for the Ink to get to the ball tip, which defeats the purpose of the gel ink. I'm feeling inspired to write, but this pen is currently causing me some frustration and literally blocking my creative flow, pardon the pun...

The top doesn’t stay on, due to the lip on the barrel not being prominent enough, meaning I can’t carry them in my pocket. This is the second box of 12 I’ve used from this supplier. Thought the first was a one-off. Won’t buy again.
