PILOT VBall Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Stick Pens, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack (35200)

This is a great pen. It is smooth flowing and does not stop mid stroke. The purple ink is a great shade and easy to read. I use mine for grading and writing notes home to parents.

I really like these pens and the color. I think they write very smooth and consistent for the most part. Why the 3 stars is I do a lot of standing at work. I have accidentally dropped a few on the floor and they stop writing smoothly afterwards. I am not sure what causes this but I still think they are a good product overall.

These are terrific and work as a real fountain pen.

Very fine pen. This writes better than the Pilot Precise V5 and much smoother too.

It was exactly what it says

I use them for all my fine art illustration, they are amazing for details!!

These are so smooth writing and love the color!

These are the best book signing pens ever!

Leaked all over my pocketbook Horrible

I have been using this pen for close to 20 years now and have tried many others in that period. I have never encountered another pen with the same rolling smoothness and balance in my hand. I used to buy them at Staples all the time, but now have to order it there. I just came across this on Amazon, and while I wish they hadnt changed the barrel marking to this conspicuous large font, Im presuming it is the same pen Ive loved all these years. Writing quality: Very smooth and consistent. Tends to bleed through thinner papers but, thats because the ink is so consistent. Its listed as a rollerball, but it doesnt have the dead spots in a line one expects of a rollerball such as bic. I also notice that needlepoints tends to get stuck on paper. I hate needlepoints. This pen rolls across different types of papers smoothly, and will also not pool in one spot very easily. Comfort: I think its the perfect size and shape. Its shorter than the traditional or Bic brand size, which gives me a great balance when writing. I also like the stiffness of the barrel, and the clear plastic around where your fingers grip are just the right size. The material gives good tacky grip. I will never be able to write again if they stop selling this pen!
