Zebra Surari Emulsion Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Fluorescent Pink Ink

To update my previous review: the 2nd pen I received is much better! It wrote perfectly right away, in a lovely fluorescent pink color that is consistently smooth & bright, and not scratchy at all.
If you like pink pens, give this one a try :)

I probably got a dud, so I'm re-ordering a few of these pink pens to give them another chance. My particular pink Surari writes awfully, horribly scratchy, not smooth at all, skips a lot, and the ink color is inconsistent--too light sometimes, but other times it writes sooo smoothly, and puts out a beautiful bright pink that's still dark enough to read. If my new order of pink Surari pens write consistently smooth in that nice bright pink, its a five-star pen for sure & I'll update my review.
(By the way: every other Surari I've received from Jetpens has been 5-star smooth with beautiful bold ink colors [except fluorescent yellow, but that's just the nature of yellow ink!] AND all my Suraris so far have shipped with a protective wax-like seal on the tip...but this pink pen was missing the wax seal, so I bet I just got a dried-up pen or something).

Writes lighter than I expected.

This is one of my top "go-to" pens! It's great for everything- note taking, signatures... It writes a thin, sharp, consistent line (which I love because my lettering is so small); it does not bleed through, nor does it smudge (I am a fast left-handed writer-so this is exactly what I look for in a pen). I believe this pen has surpassed my love for my Hi-Tec Cs.

I WILL be ordering more of these.

for a 0.5 mm, this tip writes a very very thin line! the 0.5 mm is more like a 0.2 mm in my opinion. ink flow is great, dries fast and no smudges.
