Uni-Ball Jetstream RT Pens - NY Times Wirecutter Best Pen for Over a Decade - Pack of 3 Black Fine Point Pens, 0.7mm - Back to School Pens, Ballpoint Pens

Best pens ever! Or so I’m told. These were a gift for a friend who sends a lot of letters. They said these are genuinely the best pens they’ve ever had; they feel great in the hand, write smoothly, and don’t smudge. I definitely need to get some for myself!

Love these pens!!! They are the only pens I use in my office. They do not smear and they last very long. They also go through multiple pages of paper if you have papers that have carbon copies. Very lightweight and smooth writing.

So smooth in writing, it feels so comfortable. One of my best experience in writing with this pen. Absolutely worth every dollar. I am planning on buying a whole bunch of them for future use.

Did I just spend that much on a pen? Usually I stick to the Wal-Mart back to school special of 10 Bic Crystals for a buck. However, I saw an article that claimed this was the best pen in the world and I had to try it. Is it the best pen ever?Initially I was unimpressed. It wrote like every other pen, but was comparatively smoother. I forced myself to use the pens because I spent so much on them. Slowly over time I got used to the pen and came to understand it. We are now 1, and I cringe when I have to write with any other pen. They are definitely superior to other pens.I dropped a brand new one off a desk and it landed on the floor with the point down. Killed the pen. $3 gone in an instant. Don't do that.The other odd thing about the pen is that it comes apart at the top. Every few days, I'll write a little too hard and the entire pen guts will launch past my ear and land on the floor behind me. I should probably get some super glue to fix it, but I'm happy to say that my ninja reflexes have helped me avoid any eye injuries so far.Good news. I'm about to be done with my first full cartridge. I bet it took a year of daily writing, and is a small miracle that I didn't lose it during the time. It feels like a major accomplishment on par with not losing sunglasses within the first month of buying them. In case you are wondering, my sunglasses are about 2 years old now, so I'm unusually good at keeping track of things that typically disappear. Maybe I don't get out enough.Which comes to this realization. I just typed a review about a pen.

The Uni-Ball Jetstream is hands down my favorite pen. It writes incredibly smoothly—like a gel pen—but dries fast like a ballpoint, so no smudging (even for lefties). The ink is bold and consistent, and the flow is just satisfying. It feels great in your hand, not too heavy or too light, and it glides over paper with zero skipping or dragging.Whether I’m jotting notes, journaling, or signing documents, this pen never lets me down. Once you try it, it’s hard to go back to anything else. Seriously, I keep extras just in case one disappears!If you’re picky about pens, the Jetstream is a total game-changer.

The uni-bal jetstream fine point pens are the best pens I have used by far.Things I look for in a disposable pen:1) Fine tip (at least <0.7mm). I have to write a ton of stuff in small forms. I like to write in tiny letters.2) No smear3) Long lasting ink cartridgeAs I was researching for a good pen, all these terms "gel" "ink" "roller ball" "ball-point" were all extremely confusing. I thought gel was gel, and ink was ink. Ink smears and bleeds, and gel is supposed to be more viscous and thick (so it wouldn't smear). But now these companies advertise oddly and say they have non-smearing ink. Then I thought the ball point was synonomous with gel ink pens, and roller balls with ink...but the more I tried looking into it, the more I got confused...so in my review I'll explain it with my own made up words. And the 4 pens I have used recently include:- Pilot (0.38mm) Ultra Fine point black gel ink pen- Pilot (0.5mm) Extra Fine point black gel ink pen- Pilot (0.7mm) Fine point black gel ink pen- Uni-ball Jetstream Fine point roller ball pensPilot (0.38mm) ultra fine point:-Pros:1) Finest tip of all the pens. I can write very tiny and fill out forms with more words. However, too small letters can become illegible because there is still a minor amount of smear-Cons:1) Ink is watery and smears. But dries quicker than other pilot pen's because the tip is so thin that not much ink is spread onto the paper.2) Pen tip is so thin that it breaks easily. I had half my pen tips break on me. Deal breaker.Pilot (0.5mm) Extra fine tip:Pros:1) See above (0.38mm). Fine tip, but not as fine as the 0.38mmCons:1) Because the tip isn't as fine as the 0.38mm, there is more ink spread, and more smearing.Pilot (0.7mm) Fine tipPros: NoneCons:1) See above: Ink is too watery and smear-y. Don't even bother with this inky/smeary pen.Uni-Ball Jetstream Fine PointPros:1) Ink is more "gel-y", not watery. This is nicer in so many ways. First the gel rarely smears. 2nd the gel lasts much longer in these pens than the pilot pens (less replacement).2) despite being 0.7mm, I can still end up writing as many words in the same space as the 0.38mm, simply because there is no smear.Cons: NoneConclusion: Buy Uniball Jetstream Pens (0.7mm) only.

Love these pens! My boss turned me in to them when she included one with a gift. I have been ordering these ever since. Write smooth. I like having the retractable feature so no caps!

My wife buys discount pens from discount stores then doesn't like them. I surprised her with these. Just because. She loves them. She always buys fine tips and these were perfect for her. They write with a high degree of smoothness and with very little resistance. I was kind of surprised. Happy wife means happy life.
