  Awesome awesome awesome!..., April 15, 2011

By sh2oucair

Awesome awesome awesome! I bought these because of the fine tip, and was concerned about spending a lot of money on refills (reviews have said that the ink runs out really fast). It does run out, but I have gotten through an entire semester on two ink cartridges (and I take a LOT of notes). This is my go-to pen.

By lian.tiffany

I thought that this 0.28 tip was a little bit scratchy. I ordered both the 0.28 and 0.38, and I have to say that I like the 0.38 better.

The ink flow is very consistent and the pen tip is just like a normal pen, unlike the slicci which has a fairly sturdy tip and the hi tec c which has a unconventional tip that looks nice and doesn't break unless you write extremely hard.

I would say that this is a good pen for people who want to write small, and is definitely better than the hi tec c 0.25 tip, which is tedious to write with.

Either way, I probably won't buy this again, due to the scratchiness, but it IS a nice pen and is recommended for people who like very thin lines and dont mind the slight scratchiness as much.

By sam...

I love this pen. I have several in this size and refills to keep me going. I use it in art journaling quite often. It doesn't write over acrylic paint very well but if your using paper it works great. You can write in a lot since you can get such small lettering with it. I write very large normally but with this pen I seem to write smaller. It's a nice change. Would recommend to anyone who likes a fine line.

By marydo

Amazing, surprisingly smooth and comfortable to write with. Will definitely repurchase more and different colors.

Haven't had any trouble with it at all!

By bug...

I liked it a lot until I got desperate one day and tried to use it to write on the back of my hand. The oil from my skin worked some evil magic and I haven't been able to get it to write again since. A sad waste of a good nib, but at least I can use the ink to refill my .38 Signo.

Fantastic pen for artists everywhere. I highly recommend both this and the Zebra Sarasa (0.3mm).

  I can't describe how..., January 20, 2012

By ihofer

I can't describe how much I like this pen. I have very small writing (a friends once described it "like a mouse writing with a pushpin dipped in ink") and this pen allows me to have clearly defined, legible, letters with no smudging. The lines are thin and crisp without the pen feeling scratchy - a problem I've had with other micro-tip pens like the Sarasa.

It sits well in my hand, which pushes it over the Slicci in my opinion. Compared to the Signo, the Slicci feels too small and slightly cheap.

I've only had a few issues with this pen. Once the nib was bent at the tip, making it unusable. This is my fault for rough handling. It probably bent when I dropped it, or if I put it in a bag without recapping it. Secondly, one of my older pens doesn't lay down as clear a line as it used to. It still writes, but the letters look faded, like it isn't depositing enough ink.

Still, gorgeous pen, I highly recommend it in any colour.

By tcl...

I just found the perfect pen for notetaking and charting (Nursing School)
After my love affair with the Signo Bit 0.28, decided to give these a try and I am now wondering "what took me so long to order these". I love the inkflow and balance. just wish the cap was a little longer for asthetic reasons. All in all this is the perfect pen for my needs. I am on my way to a box of ten right now!

By firecatstef

I just bought eleven different kinds of pens and this is my favorite of the bunch. I scarcely have to use any pressure to produce a consistent fine line. Comfy to hold. My one concern is that when I store the cap on the back of the pen it seems a little loose there.

  I have used .25 Hi-Tec-C's..., March 23, 2010

By castavridis

I have used .25 Hi-Tec-C's and .25 Pentel Slicci's. They're both wonderful gel pens, but I think the Signo DX UM-151 is superior to both.

Although the Signo is not as slick as the Slicci, it has a thinner more consistent line. The pen feels like a Hi-Tec-C but the tip of the pen does not stick or catch on the surface paper like the Hi-Tec-C. The weight of the pen is wonderful and does not feel too thin like the Slicci's and Hi-Tec-C's sometimes do.

  Favorite pen of all time...., February 18, 2010

By ben...

Favorite pen of all time. Sturdy tip. Always smooth. I do wish they made a retractable tip, and that I didn't mow through them so fast. Near perfect.

  The Uni-ball Signo DX..., January 21, 2010

By mdubois

The Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 (028) has become my new favorite pen. I tend to write small, with at least two lines of text for every traditional college ruled line. I previously used normal 0.5mm pens, however the paper we started using at the office apparently allows ink to bleed more than normal, and made my writing difficult to read. I bought an assortment of pens from 0.18 to 0.5 mm and tried them all out, with the Signo DX being the clear winner. The lines are smooth and don't bleed at all on the page.
