Tombow AirPress Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Clear Body

I love this pen. I have always been a fan of pressurized pens. This one really out performs the Fisher Space Pens and the clip opens wide enough for thick shirts, notebook covers, etc...It also writes much more cleanly than the Fisher pens.

I really like the design and size of this pen, and it really will write on just about anything, but the ink glops. If I paused while taking notes, the first stroke of the next word I wrote began with an ink blob. When I used the pen the first thing in the morning, the first stroke had a big blob.

I loaded the blue refill that I purchased with the pen to see if the problem was the black refill shipped with the pen. It didn't seem to produce as many blobs, but it wasn't a clean line like my Fischer space pen cartridges.

Too bad. I really like the concept of the pen and really like the design, but I can't take the smudges.

I have one of these on my desk, one in my truck and one in my kitchen. It's my absolute favorite day to day pen ever.
