Uni-ball Jetstream Sport Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Ink

I absolutely love the Jetstream line of pens! I was introduced to Jetstream after picking up a promotional pen at a scientific conference. I was immediately impressed with how smoothly it wrote, and how dark the resulting line was. You get used to how nicely these write, but then if you switch to another pen you can immediately see how much fainter other pens are. These pens always write, down to the last drop of ink. After using the promotional pen for a while I was so impressed, I went online to find the exact pen and that's how I found Jetpens!

The Jetstream Basic Series are my favorites for everyday writing. The rubber grip is on the hard side but comfortable, and the size is just right for me. I use this pen, and the red pen for corrections, on a daily basis. In fact, I bought a whole bunch of them in black, blue and red and gave them out to my family so that they could try them out as well.

A quick note to anybody that may experience skipping. If you write on plasticized paper at some point, I believe that this can gum up the small ball at the end of the pen. I had this happen once, and had to switched in a new refill because the pen became unreliable.

You can't go wrong with this one -- a reliable pen and ergonomic too!

Coming from a lefty, this is the best pen I've ever used. Writes smooth. Dries quick. No smearing.

This is the pen i always carry around. Always.
The ink is bold and waterproof and glides so smooth.

writes more smoothly than the 0.5 counterpart without being significantly thicker
