The tip of the pen is very fine, and it does write well and is very smooth. However, I don't feel like it will hold up to tough everyday use. I do not use it every day but only when I need to write very fine. I am going to order the .38's as I'm guessing the thicker pen may hold up better to daily wear and tear.

Overall, a good pen, very solid tip, and extra fine lines.

Wow, this pen is really something. I've had gel pens that were quite scratchy even at 0.38 but this 0.28 was quite smooth. I scribbled quickly in large circles and there was no skipping! The line comes out beautifully as it does in Uniball's regular gel pens. My job requires me to write lots of info on tiny cards and I've been looking for a pen that will lay down a fine line. The only problem is the cards have what I feel is a coating that seems waxy, which has caused gel pens I've used in the past to skip. Although those other extra thin gel pens didn't perform quite as well as this one does. The tip is solid, so no issues with bending a needle tip. Though, it is a very fine width, so I wonder if it would take damage anyway if the pen were dropped...

If you're looking for something in 0.28, this pen really delivers. The plastic casing the refills come in are also good for storing half used refills!

My favorite gel ink. Already tried the Hi-Tec-C, Sarasa, and Sharbo X gel inks. The Uni-ball Style Fit refills own all of them. Excellent and smooth enough for left-handed writers with vibrant colors. The inks passed my water-resistant test of running hot water over written paper. Now Uni-ball needs to create D1 refills with this ink so we can use them in the Sharbo X multi-pens. Hurry.

These are by far some of the best gel ink refills I have ever used. The writing is smooth up to .5mm but anything smaller and it does get a little scratchy... It's just the nature of a roller ball being that small. One drawback, though, is that the ink never seems to last very long. I go through a refill in about a month. I don't know.. maybe it's because I enjoy writing with these so much!

Love this gel pen! I'm delighted that I can have 5 wonderful colors in one pen body for a reasonable price. The pen cartridge writes so smoothly, just glides - what a pleasure. The violet is a wonderful color - luscious but not too "cutesy". I do believe I've found my favorite multi-pen.

This is a beautiful dark purple. Too many purples are wishy washy with too much pink in them. This is a deep violet shade. It's very nice.

This is my favorite color of the Signo inks. Yes, the ink does not last long, like with all other multi pen gel cartridges. But it did last longer than I expected. I have had this cartridge along with 4 others in my pen for three months, and writing color coded notes for the last 2 months, I just had to replace this cartridge last week. That seems like a pretty reasonable amount of time to me, but if it doesn't seem reasonable to you, then maybe ball point multi pens would be more your speed.

Very nice dark brown color, but the multipen system itself is fragile and flimsy.

Very nice green color, but the multipen system itself is fragile and flimsy. In another body it would be amazing.

Very nice orange color, but the multipen system itself is fragile and flimsy.

I got this and a few other colors as a gift. I was reading the other reviews on here about this refill's short life span and have also stumbled onto this. For me this pen is supposed to color coordinate notes and such and it lasted much longer when used this way. It also helped that I had 2 Pilot Coleto's. I also remedied the longevity problem for essays and long writing by using the UM-151 version of the Signo 0.38 which I also got as a gift (It pays to have a relative living in Japan). I just got the 0.28 in 8 colors to replace my dwindling 0.38 inks and will be writing a review for those in a week or so.

I'm sorry this brand of ink/pen refills is very difficult to write with. The only way that the ink comes out smoothly on .28 and .38 sizes (only ones I have tried) is if you write with you pen straight up and down. If you don't write with your pen absolutely perpendicular to the paper, then the tip scrapes weirdly against the paper (you feel the edge that holds the rolling ball scraping) and the ink does not come out evenly, you keep getting areas where the line goes blank or goes light and it looks horrible.

I purchased Hi-tec-C Coleto at the same time to test them -- and those are AMAZING. no matter what direction you write in, I bought .3 and .4 size tips and both are amazing. For larger amounts of writing, the .4 is best because otherwise the .3 is quite thin. The .3 is ideal for taking notes in margins and having super neat handwriting which is very clear and awesome!!!!

Exactly what I needed. The Style Fit pens are a dream to write with. I was worried this wouldn't be the right color, but it is indeed the dark blue black I've grown to love. Writes smoothly, awesome color, is packaged neatly and safely, easy to replace. No complaints.

I absolutely adore this refill! Unfortunately, it is so tiny that after just a couple day's use, it meets its end. (I will admit - I do a LOT of writing.)

Great blue black color with just a hint of deep teal. I'm a huge fan. Another happy jetpens addict.

Lovely dark brown color. Exactly what I wanted. I really like the point too, just as fine as I like it.

Ink last no time. 3-4 pages max

Writes well. Ink lasts no time at all. Maybe three-four pages of continuous writing.

Writes well...and great color...but....

Lasts almost no time. I use this color sparingly and it ran out after what I would guess would be two or three pages of writing. A true rip off. Can't speak to the other cartridge formats...but these are unsatisfactory. Too, too bad.

Excellent refill. Uni-ball Signo ink is put into the ballpoint. Note that, Signo ink contains check fraud protection, as per Uni-ball's website. I submerged a sheet of paper with a written sample in alcohol, bleach, and boiling hot water: the tests passed and the ink remained. We need D1 refills now. Smooth writers indeed.

As soon as I put this pen to paper, I almost cried, "Smooth! Smooth!" But I didn't, because that would've been weird.

It's a smoooooth gel pen. I love it.

It's a green gel pen. It works. It might be a tad skippy sometimes, but it works fine for me.
