These pens are amazing. I was surprised at the quality of what is advertised as a disposable pen. The ink flow is great. I did not have any problems with blotching or skipping - maybe because I regularly use a fountain pen. Also, the ink dries quickly. I wrote something and then immediately rubbed my hand over the writing and it did not smear. I tested all of the pens right out of the package and did not have any that did not work.These are plastic, so they don't have the weight or heft in your hand of a quality fountain pen like a Cross pen, but I can't fault the writing.Excellent pen but it does bleed on my fingersThe Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens have a nice touch to them, write smoothly and provides quick drying ink. For left-handed writers, that's a big plus to avoid smearing. While I prefer a slightly larger pen barrel, these smaller pens make writing enjoyable. Note that the pens come in a sealed plastic pouch rather than original manufacturer packaging.The pens write smooth, don't leak ink, and don't dry out fast if you leave the lid off. The only downside is they only last about a month with heavy office use.I have bought this set multiple times and not one pen malfunctioned or disappointed. Every one of them were good to the last drop.I used to have refillable ones. One batch of bad ink spoiled two of my expensive pens. Switched to this more than 10 years ago. Use it almost daily. Love the feel of it.Do you love pens? I love pens. In this day where everything is composed on a computer screen with a keyboard or digital device, I really love nice flowing ink on thick creamy paper. Unfortunately, my job doesn’t allow me to do very much actual pen and paper writing, and I’m more productive with an electronic to do list, so my one luxury is my signature.I’m a manager and I sign a lot of documents. Thousands per year. I’ve used scores of ballpoints and gel pens, but my favorite are fountain pens. The problem with fountain pens are twofold – they’re expensive and they dry out/skip. Typical fountain pens require ink replacement cartridges. This means the ink can dry out in the nib and if your cartridge doesn’t seat well when you replace it, it can skip, clog, dry out, etc. So you have cost, mess, and annoyance.These pens are the best of the fountain pen world – at least for me. They’re disposable, which means the ink is sealed. There’s no muss and no fuss. When one finally dies – and they really do last quite a while – you throw it away and break out a new one. They rarely ever skip. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had one of these disposable fountain pens skip. They come in standard colors – my preference is the blue. Finally, the cost is low for the quality! Low enough that I don’t have to get too upset when my coworkers fall in love with one and ask if they can just keep it.These pens are really reliable. If you are interested in using fountain pens these are great to start with before purchasing more expensive ones. Pilot makes some of the best pens!!Smooth, flowing ink. Blue is the best.excellent product............ writes very well......気兼ねなく万年筆の書き心地が楽しめて良い。
