uni-ball(R) Vision(TM) Rollerball Pens, 0.7 mm, Fine Point, Gray Barrel, Black Ink, Pack Of 12, 60126

Is the only pin I've used for years. It writes no matter where you're at or what you're doing. Guaranteed to write and the color is just always black and perfect to read.

LONG STORY SHORT: This is my favorite Pen out there. Love it. Use it all the time. It writes consistently, evenly, and smoothly on all kinds of paper, and other surfaces. Feels like one of the most "efficient" pens I've used, as it glides across the paper not making you work too hard. PROS: -Back in college, I started carrying a pen in my pocket almost every day, I still carry one somewhat often, and this is the one I choose. I've had several (different) pens over the years that have leaked or broken in my pocket. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. Never failed me. -It writes so smoothly. It's considered a "fine" pen at 0.7mm, but it's got a pretty thick line in my opinion. Compare this with several 0.5mm pens out there which seem "scratchy" to me. -It's "waterproof" and "fade-proof" which, in my experience, it's held up to that standard. -Writes great on regular paper, back of checks, receipts, and even on higher quality paper like that found in a Moleskine Notebook. -Nice sturdy clip, that slides onto your pocket or backpack compartment easily. Not flimsy, yet not so strong it's impossible to clip onto things. -Has "permanent marker"-like qualities in that, I can often use it in my woodshop if I can't find a pencil or sharpie. Not made for it by any means, but works in a pinch. **If I'm looking to write something at any length, I'm looking for this pen. CONS -On thinner paper it will often show through to the other side. It doesn't "bleed" through onto a table or desk, but you'll often be able to see remnants of the writing on the back side of the paper. Typically if I'm taking a photo of a check for deposit, I'll take the "front side" photo first and sign it after. Otherwise you can see it through. (Has never affected the ability to deposit the check, I'm just...cautious). -This is also true with the paper in Moleskine Notebooks. -People will steal this pen from you. Stay vigilant.

Oh Uni-Ball, how do I love thee? You're the best pen I've ever met, and I live in fear that you may some day be discontinued. You make every notion and every fleeting thought feel noble and brilliant; your precise, deep, clear lines make every grocery list look like a mellifluous piece of art. You glide across the page effortlessly; you make even the worst penmanship look glorious. You are a joy to write with. I wouldn't ever opt for another.

In my top five favorite pens. I am a pen and mechanical pencil addict. These pens are great. No stutter or skipping, smooth writing. Handles the continuity of cursive writing wonderfully. These aren't as easily found in stores as they used to be. In the past, I have found the ink to be of decent quantity, but I just got these so we'll see if they are as long lived as the previous ones.

I picked up this 12-pack of uni-ball Vision rollerball pens in blue with the 0.7mm fine point because I go through pens pretty fast with all my note-taking. Traveling for business and leisure means I'm constantly jotting down meeting notes, travel lists, or quick ideas on planes and in hotel rooms, and I needed something consistent that wouldn't run out right away. After moving from Florida to Delaware, I still keep a few in my bag and at my desk. I expected smooth writing without much skipping, decent ink flow that wouldn't smear too badly, and a comfortable feel for longer sessions. It mostly met those expectations, though with a couple of small letdowns. These pens write pretty smoothly most of the time thanks to the liquid ink. The 0.7mm tip gives a nice fine line that's clear and easy to read for everyday notes. The blue color is a standard, pleasant shade—not too light, not too dark. I like that the ink is water-resistant and fade-resistant, which comes in handy when I spill coffee on a page or need notes to last in my planner. In real-world use, they're great for quick forms at the airport, underlining key points in reports during trips, or making checklists for business meetings. The pen body is lightweight, so it doesn't tire out your hand when you're writing for a while. I keep several in my travel pouch now and grab one whenever I need reliable blue ink without switching pens. On the downside, the ink can smear a bit if you're a lefty or if you touch it right after writing, especially on certain papers. I've noticed occasional skipping if the pen hasn't been used for a few days, and you sometimes have to scribble a little to get it going again. It also bleeds through thinner notebook paper more than I'd like if you press too hard or go slow. The cap is basic and works fine, but nothing special. Value for money is solid with a 12-count pack. These aren't the cheapest pens around, but at this quantity they work out to a reasonable cost per pen, especially since they last a decent while with normal use. Refills aren't an option here, so once they're empty, you toss them, but the pack size helps stretch your budget. Overall, these uni-ball Vision pens are a straightforward choice for anyone who needs consistent blue rollerballs for practical writing tasks. They handled my expectations for smooth daily use pretty well, even if the smudging and occasional bleed-through show up on cheaper paper. I reach for them regularly and would grab another pack when these run low.

Package came perfect and intact all pens work great

I feel that these are extremely smooth and vibrant. I feel that Uni-Ball is of exceptional quality! Pricey, no doubt! But the value is there! Excellent quality.

Perfect pen. Perfect ink flow. Never had an issue and I've been using these for years. Blue or black, both work great.
