Gel Ink Pen Japanese Style Liquid Ink Rollerball Pens Quick Drying 0.35mm Ultra Fine Point Ballpoint Maker Pen Premium for Office School Stationery Supply,12 Pcs/Set, Black

Performance & Quality:I enjoy writing with fine print pens and, for years, my go-to has been .5/.7 pilot G-2 pens. I have, however, always been frustrated with them when writing in a planner due to the occassional smudge. These pens, on the other hand, have had no issues with this.Recently, I switched to Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens, and while they write perfectly and never smudge on me, they're expensive and I hate to waste India ink on notes and planners and the like. I decided to give these a try because of the price and was pleasantly surprised to find that they wrote as well if not better than my Faber-Castells due to the thinner point (AND hold up to the same standard of drawing/doodling/sketching/etc.)Grip:I love a comfortable pen, but I would put these around a 4/5 in terms of comfort. The plastic casing goes all the way to the edge before curving down into the main point of the pen - meaning there's no softness to it. At the same time, the smoothness of it feels almost like acrylic, so it's not quite as annoying as most plastic cased pens - enough so that I don't really notice it when writing with them for extended periods of time. The 4/5 is due to a lack of grip + exceptional quality without one. 👌Ink:Nice solid black line - incredibly smooth and quick drying.Extra Bits:The pen cap has a little cap on top of it that comes off if you press your nail against the edge of it and the plastic beneath. It easily snaps back into place and, as someone who often fidgety when thinking and writing, it provides a nice little stimulation. I know it wasn't intended that way, but I like that this little function draws me to it more than the long-lip piece of the cap (I almost always break those off from fidgeting). The little cap design actually keeps me fixated on itself so I haven't broken a single pen cap which has been refreshing. Seems silly, but has been a game changer for me.Appearance:Basic in looks, clear in casing color, but something about the characters printed on the tag and the lack of English on the casing makes it feel a bit aesthetic in a plain/simple/satisfying way.

I love how delicate these pens are. They are perfect for notes on thin paper (like the Bible) or even drawing, sketching, and watercolor. They don’t bleed. These aren’t best for thick lines or people who put a ton of pressure on paper when writing or drawing. They are smooth. Will order more when the ink runs out of mine and did order some for presents for others.

These pens are extremely high-quality for drawing small precise lines. I actually prefer these to a lot of other expensive “art drawing pens.” They are a fantastic alternative to the Micron pens for drawing small precise lines. I have purchased the black as well as the blue. I wish they made about 20 colors!

These pens are the best needle point type pen I've used. I'm loving them. I'm going to need more soon because I keep sharing them with my friends! LOL I love how smooth they write, how vibrant the ink is, and how nice it looks on my planner layouts.

Japanese-style but definitely made in China. They don't feel the best in your hand, they write OK, but there isn't a noticeable difference between these and a .5mm ball. I'll probably switch back to pilot after I run out of these.

Love these pens. Spent 7 years in Japan and used this type of pens while I was there. They are great for my Hobonichi planners.

The fine point is super. Good value

Love these pens for my planner
