uni-ball73833 Jetstream RT Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.0mm), Blue, 12 Count

These are my favorite pens. Super smooth writing without the extra ink left by gel pens.

The best pens. Worth every penny. Long lasting and smooth ink.

My new job has me writing quite a bit of notes than my previous one. I am old school so I prefer a notebook over carrying a laptop around the shop and in meetings I find it easier to take hand written notes than typing into a memo.2 things that were important to me. The pen has to write good and the ink has to be indelible. I usually opt for a Gel pen despite the fact they run out of ink quickly but I cannot use Gel at the new place.Writing, this pen is buttery smooth. I cannot say I have ever written with a pen this smooth outside of the every now and again you find some unicorn that makes you audibly say, "dam, this pen writes nice". With the person you borrowed it from saying, I know, now pass back.It is fairly comfortable to write with but it could use a little curve to the grip area. I feel with how smooth this writes, they missed the mark on the grip.Other than that, I would say do not hesitate to purchase.

I use Rite in Rain notepads at work and they require ball point pens. I generally hate ball points, until I found these. These are by far the best ballpoint pens I have used. They aren't as smooth writing as a gel pen, but they are close. If you need a ballpoint use these.

I read lots of reviews on this pens before buying them, both on this site and elsewhere. As you can imagine, from seeing all the amazing reviews my expectation for this where really high. I had never try any other products of the jetstream line before and wasn't really sure what to expect.My first impressions where very good, the ink flows effortlessly which makes of this a really smooth pen. They write from the very first try every time and as they advertise, the ink dries very quickly, which is an awesome thing if you like me are used to making a huge mess by sliding your hand over recently written text.I compared it to a couple way more expensive pens that i have laying around the house and this is every bit as good as them if not better. As i like to use a nice pen for taking notes in class, this are really good for me, since i can take this instead of the really expensive ones without sacrificing the quality of my writing and without the hassle of being worried about an expensive pen.The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because i found that when used with paper that isn't the best quality the tip becomes clotted leaving some really annoying blobs here and there. It doesn't happen very often, and can be almost completely avoided with good quality paper.

I love these pens and so does everyone around me. That's why I need to buy in bulk because they grow legs. Cheaper buying them in bulk than in a box store a few at a time.

I am very fussy about my pens. I ordered these because the New York Times Wirecutter newsletter ranked them as their best performing. I gulped at the price, but went ahead and ordered a box. I am now a rabid addict! They write beautifully, never skip, and are just the right weight for paper.

These highly rated pens are my favorite. Smooth writing. Clear lines.
