uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pens Medium Point 0 7mm Black 12 Pack

Love these pens, but I almost threw them away. There is nothing on the package to let you know the ball point tip is dipped is some greenish blue plastic. You have to use your fingernails to remove that plastic and then it writes just fine. The main reason for these pens is the special ink in them. This ink cannot be erased chemically by crooks trying wash checks. This is a huge safety factor and for less than $2 per pen. It writes smoothly, glides quickly, looks really classy, and the line is not too thick or thin. Great pen, but remember to remove that tip cover. Read more

These are my new favorite pens. I had been purchasing and using other brands of 0.7mm Gel Pens but this one is a whole different experience to use. The ink flows smoothly and consistently. There are not blank patches in your writing from where the ink did not dispense during different words of your writing. You get a seemless, smooth stream of controlled ink and I love that. This is the only gel pen I've used, and I've used many, that has delivered consistent performance and reliability. This is such a good thing to see in a product these days. I don't lend these out to anyone, I give them a different pen to use- that's how much I like them. These are such a joy to write with. I will be reordering. Read more

Love these pens. Great for writing with no smudges Read more

These pens write excellently, no smearing, they glide and flow very well. My only complaint is the ink lingevity could have been better, I've gone through a few and once the ink gets low it gets a little spotty. Read more

I found one of these pens in one of those random boxes of craft supplies that tends to pile up when you have kids. It had to be at least a couple years old by the time I found it, but it wrote so smoothly and boldly that it instantly became my favorite pen. (That one pen you keep in your pocket or hidden under your keyboard; the one you refuse to loan out for fear of it getting stolen... If you're reading reviews for pens, you probably know what I mean.) I used it over the especially-rough 2020 holiday season for all my greeting cards, lesson plans, shopping lists, and even for inking and lettering a few illustrations and comic book pages. My hand glided across the papers with a confidence I didn't even know I had. When the findling pen began to wane, I realized I had to have more! My most recent favorites (a compromise between quality and quantity for the sake of economy) just didn't feel the same anymore... I realized I just couldn't go back. As a writer, calligrapher, and artist, I have used some very nice pens 'in my time' but these are by far the best for their price. PROS: The ink and roller ball are so lovely and smooth that you'll be inspired to write more! The ink has a strong color, especially if you allow for drying time (as opposed to blotting). Nice enough grip. If you're the type to accrue craft supplies in piles (like me) then buying some of these will be an awesome excuse to toss some older pens into the recycling bin. They seem to last forever. I put the findling through the gauntlet these past few months, and it's still going! I cracked the new pack to test them, and all 12 seem to be perfect. And apparently they have a pretty long shelf life. CONS: The ink does take a while to dry, especially on glossy papers. (Blotting helps, but it can also cause smearing and/ or fading. I learned the hard way! Please learn from my mistakes! Allowing time and space for air drying is best.) They're also a tiny bit more costly than my previous go-to pens, but the longevity, flow, and feel make them well worth it. I'll probably buy more of these to gift out for birthdays and holidays this year... and if I live long enough to use up (or lose... or have stolen... or run through the dryer...) the dozen I bought myself, I'll certainly buy more for myself as well!
