Some people prefer to vote in blue ink to leave a trail for auditors. Finding a blue ink pen with the right hue and the right kind of ink is tough. Let the search for the perfect pen end with this pen, as the hue of the ink is dark enough, it’s not gel-based or paste-based and won’t gum up the machines, and it won’t bleed through paper. I just tested it today, so I know it works for the purpose. By the way, this pen isn’t just limited to ballots. It‘s useful for any other official document as well. If you’re looking for the perfect pen to mark official documents with, you can’t go wrong with this pen. Edit 04/05/2023 — 1:39 PM: I originally had a video that showcased the pen, but after my mom spotted her signature in it, I was freaking out, trying to make sure it wouldn’t end up in this review. Thankfully, the Amazon Communities team pulled all the photos and videos from my review, giving me another chance to go back and make edits. With this in mind, I shall leave you the four pictures I took during the filming. From right to left, the first photo is of the pen itself, the second photo shows that it fits in my tactical pen holster, the third photo showcases the hue of the ink, and the fourth photo is proof that it does not bleed through paper.

I am a doctor and I write a LOT as I talk to my patients. This is the pen I use every day. It has a soft, translucent pad around the barrel which provides four benefits to me. First, it is fat and soft enough to be very comfortable to hold. Second, refill ink cartridges are easy to get, so I don't have to throw away a whole pen! Third, the ink cartridges on the fine point last a LONG time (I like that!). Fourthly and finally, I can SEE how much ink is left in the cartridge, so I know when I am getting low and will need a refill. In addition, the gel ink flows smoothly without effort, is waterproof as soon as it is dry, and it dries fast, so seldom smears or smudges. And the pen comes in bright colors in this translucent model; neon pink, bright turquoise, and purple. If I put down my pen, everyone in the office knows it is mine and will make sure it finds its way back to me! These pens last a long time. With daily use for three years, my last one finally broke when it rolled off an exam table and hit the floor for about the umpteenth time. The plastic cracked by the threads and I finally had to replace it. I am a long-term fan. Read more

I use a pen all day every day for work. When I'm at home, I bust out a fountain pen but I can't have a drippy, messy pen at the office, and fountain pens don't require enough pressure for the triplicate forms I write out 10-20 times a day. This pen is comfortable to grip all day, has a really impressively consistent flow, and is big enough that it doesn't get lost in a sea of cheap ballpoint pens. It feels solid and durable, and I hope it lasts me for quite a while. This is the only ballpoint pen I will use anymore, and my day is ruined when I leave it at home. Highly recommend for all-day writing. It's a nice pen! Read more

I have lupus with a neurological component and have a difficult time holding standard pens, when I write with a standard pen, my writing becomes sloppy, difficult, and painful. I have been using Dr grip for the last 8yrs and cant imagine using anything else. Initially I tried many different brands and other styles by pilot/Dr grip, but none compare with the Dr grip with gel ink. The ink writes smooth with no clumping, smearing, or running. On certain surfaces(such as marking a plastic bag),it will take a few moments to dry before being able to touch, but that is standard for gel ink pens, the fact that it DOES dry and become smudge proof is unique. They also have some type of fraud protection built in, but that is secondary to me, but a nice feature since this pen does it all. This particular Dr Grip is pretty too, I love the translucent purple color. No, it doesnt look like a cross or Mont blanc pen, but it doesnt have the price tag of such pens either...and I can hold it(which is the important part). Beware that once you use this pen, you wont want to use any other...so then when someone hands you something with a pen, you tell them you have your own, you will get funny looks(and most will assume you are just a germ-a-phobe),so you will be explaining your love and use of your own pen often ;-) Read more
