Uni-ball Signo 207 Retractable Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Pink

Since I use these pens for doodling and hobby coloring, I LIKE that it's a visibly lighter pink than you get from the Pilot Choose or the Zebra Sarasa-- it expands my color range! For writing something you want to be able to read later under less-than-optimal lighting situations... I can see that it might be a problem. It all depends on how you intend to use the pen.

But regardless of whether this color is what you want or not, this pen itself performs beautifully. The ink flows smoothly without scratchiness.

I've always enjoyed the Uni-Ball 207 0.7mm Gel Pens for everyday pen use, and when I came to need Pink, bought one of these. While the pen writes smoothly, like the rest of the line, I agree with the previous review in that it is HOT PINK. If you're looking for a VERY bright pink this is certainly the pen for you! If not however, beware; the brightness of this pen makes it very hard to read on white or cream colored paper.
It might be easier to read on darker paper and/or in the 0.38mm size instead. Since the pen itself writes nicely, I can't say this is either a good OR a bad pen.

I'm very disappointed in the color of the ink - it's almost a pastel pink. If you're looking for a bright or hot pink, bypass this pen.

A very smooth writing pen. For coloring uses, you should be aware that it's darker than sky blue, more of a medium-to-light "cool" blue (tinged toward purple, rather than green). That's after it's dried completely; it goes down like a light indigo blue. It's a beautiful color, but not sky blue. It does look sky-blue in writing.

The pigment doesn't seem to be evenly dispersed throughout the gel medium, leading to something of a streaky effect in coloring. This doesn't seem to be a factor in writing. I'm not sure whether it's just a glitch in this pen or not. Still, I thought it bore mentioning.

I agree with the other reviewer. The shade of green is very bright and cheery. Writes well, too!
