Good Pens
As anyone knows who has read many of my reviews, I have been engaged all my life in a search for the perfect pen. Bic’s Triumph 730-RT still holds the coveted spot of form AND function in perfect synchronicity as far as I’m concerned. But it seemed like as soon as Bic discovered someone loved their pen, they discontinued it with no explanation and replaced it with a cheaper-made (mostly plastic) implement and added insult to injury by making the cheapo pen with raised dots on the outside that seemed designed to hurt the fingertips.Bereft of Bic, and having given up on Papermate and Parker for years, I went looking for something else. Something I noticed…my vet, my dentist, and the welcome committee at a writers’ convention were all using (and giving away) these thin pens with odd plungers. Although the shafts were hard, they were overlaid with a thin layer of rubberlike material that gave them a soft feel. The ink they used (always black) wasn’t a gel ink, but it was still smooth and flowed freely. I started going to the vet and the dentist just to get a couple more of these pens. They were comfortable, they fit my hand (I hate a pen that’s too thin or too thick), and they wrote smoothly. I could take notes or write letters with only my own bad handwriting to worry about rather than the usual worries like ink smears or skips or calloused fingertips.And then one day on Amazon–while looking for something else (it’s amazing how often this happens!) I saw a dozen multicolored pens of this same exact style I liked so much. I checked them out, thinking they were way too cheap to be so nice-looking, so they must be knockoffs. I bought them anyway, figuring they were so cheap that if they turned out to be badly designed knockoffs, I wouldn’t have lost that much if I had to throw them away. But guess what. These pens were exactly like the ones I’d been given at these business places. And it occurred to me that maybe that’s how my dentist could afford to give them away. They were cheaply made but surprisingly good pens.Well, I’ve bought a couple dozen now, and I plan to buy more. They’re just that good. I carry one in my clutch, three in my purse, a couple each clipped into several of my spiral notebooks. They all work well, fit my hand, and write with a smooth, even flow of ink that’s just the right thickness.I imagine that since I love these pens so much, the company will stop making them, so I’ll hastily include a complaint. I wish I could find them with blue ink! 🙂

Love
Love the pens.. and stylus to use on my phone is great. Need to order more but I think I’m going with a different style. These haven’t been my favorite.

Nice dark rich colors
So far these are worwell, but time will tell. Usually the stylus tips wear out before the ink is used on most stylus pens I’ve had. I love the darker richer colors than the bright or light ones. I like having different colors because I have a different color pen at my desk, by my recliner, in my purse, etc. That way if I find myself carrying a pen around, I know where it belongs for the next time I need it. I like the feel and grip of the pen…not too fat and not too slim. It is a medium point black which I prefer. The number of pens for this price is great and should last a long time. Whether I buy again will depend on how well and how long they hold up in use.On the first pen I’m using, at first the ink end seemed wobbly, but I cleaned the end off with a tissue and now it writes ok.

It’s Okay
I really wish I had taken a picture of how this arrived. I think going forward I will. So, let’s first talk about the pens. I have a pink, purple and white office so I felt it was necessary to have these. The components of some of the pens are loose or wobbly but not all of them. They write with a thicker point and it’s heavy. Meaning, if you are writing on the front of a paper and then go to write on the back, you can see the front page writing. Is this terrible? I guess it depends on why you use pens. Despite technology (which I like and use) I’m still old school and like pen and paper and paper calendars… overall these pens are okay and I’m glad I have them but they are inconsistent in how they feel when holding them. Which brings me to my next point.These arrived in a bundle, placed inside of a sandwich bag, tied together. It’s like someone went to Costco, bought a box of 800 and then parsed them out into homemade packages. There was no formal packaging or branding. Perhaps this is the reason for the inconsistencies of each pen. SUGGESTION: Go to a local store and buy a pen if you need it. Or, perhaps a specific vendor on Amazon (such as brand pages) to make the purchase. I always try to support independent vendors or local stores when I can…but sometimes I go for convenience as well. Choose wisely and read reviews. – Happy writing.

Love these pens. They work great.

Fonctionne très bien.
