Uni-ball Signo UM-151 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm - Green

i compared this pen with it's .28 sibling, as well as a .4 hitec-c and a .3 hitec-c on the following paper types:

- doane graphed notepad
- moleskin lined notepad (best)
- crappy ol' yellow notepad

for those of us (like myself) that have bigger, sloppier, faster handwriting, the finer-tip pens start to get scratchy regardless of the notepad you're writing on - for meetings and lectures (where i needed to be able to scribble fast and large) i found myself reaching for a ball-point (like a jetstream, or a crappy bic) over any of the pens i listed.

however, during a brainstorm or casual notetaking, this pen is a dream, and i found myself swapping between this and the other pens i listed above pretty regularly - it's impossible for me to rank one over the others, they're all fabulous!

buy one or all of them, you won't be sorry. for the record: the moleskin paper was a dream to write on (over the other two I listed.)

I think I'm in love with this pen. I'm a huge fan of the .25mm Slicci, and this pen--this color in particular--gives it a run for its money. Ink flow is smooth, pen is well-balanced, and the color is phenomenal. You know how a lot of purple pens end up looking kind of fuchsia-ish? This pen, on the other hand, is a true, deep, royal purple. I adore it. I also got the Black, Bordeaux Black, and Brown Black, and I love them all for the same reasons (although the lavender black is my favorite color). There is a noticeable difference between this .38mm line and the Slicci's .25mm line, so I won't be using this one for extreme detail work, but there's nothing wrong with having different instruments for different purposes. Excellent pen!

I love this pen. It writes smoothly, and the ink is a deep, pine green that looks great no matter where I've used the pen. The color is subtle (it doesn't scream "I'm GREEN!") but still looks unique.

I find the 0.38 mm version to be a sweet spot of fine, concise lines and ease of writing. The blue black ink is a fantastic alternative to the usual black but still professional in appearance to be used in a business setting.

This is a very bright pink! Almost like a hot pink. I like the 0.28 Uni pens. I think these are quickly becoming one of my favorites.
