By bluenightpress

I LOVE this pen, and all the DX UM-151s. I teach at the U of Utah, and this is the pen I use to grade all of my student's papers. The tip is fine enough that I can make little corrections in the margins and between lines; the "Bordeaux Black" color is red enough to seem like it's chastising my students for their silly mistakes, but not so red that they feel violated (turns out that bright red pens have a negative effect on students); and the smoothness is unlike any other pen with a tip this fine. The "blotchiness" that another reviewer mentioned is, for me, more like a fountain pen's "flair" once you get more used to it (perfect for writing kanji). Finally, one of the greatest features about this gel pen compared to every other gel pen I've used is the speed at which it dries--it's a smooth, fine gel ink that won't smudge. Awesome, awesome pen. Also great for writing in the margins of books.

Love this pen!
Writes surprisingly smooth. The ink flow is good and the line width consistent. I've not had any problems with blotchiness, skips or blobs. The color is fantastic! It doesn't leap off the page and smack you in the face, just a great red/maroon. I really like the tip as well. I use a lot of pressure when I write and some of the smaller tipped pens feel really fragile under the pressure. This one holds up like a champ. I use this pen for underlining and writing in my Bible and it is one of the very few that do well in that capacity. The ink does not bleed through the super-thin pages and the pigments keep it from fading or migrating through the paper over time like ballpoint pen or dye based gel inks. The 0.38 mm size dries quickly enough that I haven't had any trouble with smearing. Only negative point is that the cap doesn't snap on very tight and I hate chasing a pen cap under the desk. I wish Uni-ball made these the same as the retractable 207 Uni-ball pens.

This pen is fabulous! I love the fine line and I don't have problems with skipping or smudging. The color is a pretty and vivid burgundy. It is a breeze to write with. The pen is the perfect weight, and the rubber grip makes it comfortable to write with. I wrote a thank you note with this pen and the recipient liked the ink and line so much, that she asked where she could buy the pen (I told her JetPens.com, of course!). My 9 year old son loves the pen too; he wants one of his own. I recommend this pen if you like a fine line and a vivid, unique color. I will purchase this pen again, for my son, my friends and myself.

Love this color. I'm not a fan of 0.38 tip because I find it too fine for me. However, this color is not available with 0.5 tip, so I tried it. I'm amazed to discover that it's not as fine as what I thought. The tip works perfect for me.

Overall, probably the best red-black gel pen on this site as of now. A little blotchy, and a little more purplish than red, but overall, a solid, comfortable performer. My main go-to pen for black-red.
