Pentel EnerGel X Metal-Tip Retractable Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Green

This pen does write very smooth and leaves a crisp color, but so does my Uniball Signo. The biggest drawback with this pen is that it is NOT water resistant in the least. That means if I spill something or get caught out in the rain, my notes smear well into the next page and there goes my nice crisp color. I want a pen that I am comfortable writing checks with and signing legal documents as well as taking notes and doodling. So I'll stick with my Signo.

The Pentel gel ink has a soft spot in my heart because it was the first gel ink I tried, and since then I have always like the color and deepness of the black gel ink in the paper. This isn't among the most sought after pens, but it should be. Give it a try.

I ordered this but it is not in my purchase history for some reason. Let me see... the color is a beautiful sky blue that I have not seen before. Writes very well and writes smooth, however the front area where the pen tip is is a bit stubby. It does not extend far enough from the pen grip so I have to hold it a little weird when I write. I don't know, maybe my fingers or just to small or something. Overall great pen!

This is the smo-o-o-o-o-othest writing pen ever. A pleasure to hold, for long writing sessions and for arthritic and shake-y (due to minor stroke) hands. I actually use it for drawing (Zentangles) and it is wonderful.

I just would like the colors - violet, orange, green etc to come in the "0.5" size.
Please hear my plea Pentel and JetPens, thank you.

This is my favorite pen to write my school notes with! The ink is very dark and stands out boldly. I have this pen in other colors too and they all write super smooth, especially for a 0.5. The barrel design also makes it easy to hold without your hand tiring after a while, which is a relief for students like myself. If you're looking for a cheap pen that writes really really well, this is the perfect one to use. :)
