Uni-ball Jetstream Color Ink Series Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm - Red Ink

The ink is a relatively light red, so it's not great for correcting stuff or drawing your attention to something you might underline in red. It's more of a fashion color than the traditional red pens. Still, I really liked the clarity of its clean lines and enjoyed the rarely-globby ink.

The pen is somewhat of a mixed bag, but overall I have had positive experiences with the Jetstream Color line. First, I love the relatively thin diameter and the fact that there is no grip. I love the white barrel color and the accurate barrel representation of the ink color. The plunger is springy and satisfying (perhaps my favorite part of the pen itself). One problem I noticed is that if you unscrew the bottom and screw it back on too tight, there might be a lot of tension and cause cracking down the barrel, as there was in my first Jetstream Color. (Just be aware and don't screw it on too tight!)

I love this pen. I am a fan of blue-black ink. I was hoping to find a ballpoint in that shade of ink. Uni-ball has done it. I love how smooth it writes. I plan to buy more.

Smooth writing, nice clean lines , and the ink color is great. I've been hoping that the folks at Uni-ball would develop a blue-black ballpoint pen. The ink color is dark enough to be photocopied, yet distinctive enough to use in an original document. Only possible drawback: The clip doesn't hold that well in your shirt pocket. Still, very much worth buying.

I love how thin the lines are and how smooth it writes. It's really awesome.

i'm in love with the look of this pen. i love the little squares on the bottom portion & the contrast of the blue with the off-white. it's a unique style that isn't typical of pens found in the states. the blue black ink also offers up a change to the black or blue ink i typically have to write with. it's got a great, smooth ink flow & perfect tip. one of my very favorite fine point pens.
