Zebra Pen Sarasa Dry X20 Retractable Gel Pens, 0.7mm Medium Point, Assorted Ink Colors with Rapid Fast Dry Ink Technology, Ideal for the Left Handed, Elimates Smearing in Seconds, 10-Pack (46881)

GOOD QUALITY

I’m left handed and I’ve always been jealous of people who could get these colorful gel pens and not smudge them everywhere. Well, these are truly dry gel pens. They do not smudge at all. They don’t bleed (although on thin paper you will get a bold see through effect). I love the colors. The thickness is perfect. The writing quality is very smooth. I do a lot of hand notes for work as a social worker and I’ve never had a pen that treated me this well, and they’re cute on top of it all!

I love these pens. Quality is awesome. They don't skip or smudge. I love all the colours. They write comfortable and have a great grip. Will be ordering again.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was written with a G-2 pen. The only thing Thor’s hammer cannot crush? This pen! Harry Potter was only able to defeat He Who Shall Not Be Named because his wand contains a single Phoenix feather and also a G-2 Pen. When Navy Seals perform emergency tracheotomies in the heat of battle – they only use the shaft of the G-2. And no matter how intense the fight becomes – No G-2 is left behind! When Rambo writes love letters to his knife – what does he use? The G-2. Yo momma’s like a Pilot G-2. …Everybody wants to get their hands on her. Kevin Costner didn’t have gills in Waterworld. He was just snorkeling with a G-2 pen. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to a G-2 pen! And with the G-2, no more chicken scratch – just beautiful calligraphy. Why won’t Donald Trump change his hair style? Because that is where he hides his golden G-2! Where have all the cowboys gone? They’re in Office Depot doodling on tiny paper scraps with sample G-2s. What is truly in Area 51? The Ark of the Covenant filled with G-2 pens. That's why you die if you touch the Ark. NOBODY steals God's G-2s! Captain Hook's favorite hand replacement? His G-2 attachment. How did Stevie Wonder go blind? He looked directly at the shimmering glory of the G-2 pen. How did Houdini pull off the impossible so many times? The answer was always a G-2. Little Known Fact: When Ghandi died he had only 10 possessions. 9 of them were Pilot G-2s and the 10th was a tracking number for ink refills from Amazon. Stephen Hawking can actually talk. He's just speechless after experiencing the unmatched brilliance of the G-2. What was the secret behind Mother Theresa's kindness, enlightenment, and peaceful tranquility? She owned a Pilot G-2. Why isn't Tony Stark content with his billions of dollars? Because he has not been able to invent the G3. The G-2 is virtual perfection! While there is a lot of sarcasm above, I truly do love the Pilot G-2. I write a great deal and have taken the time to compare a large number of pens (see the pictures attached). The Pilot G-2 consistently stands out as one of the very best. It is inexpensive and economical as the refills reduce waste & save money. The needle tip Pilot pens in the photos write more smoothly, but none of them are as comfortable, well balanced, or as versatile as the G-2. After testing all of these pens side by side, I have noticed that the thinner the tip of a pen is - the scratchier it feels to write with. This is why I prefer the G-2 with the 0.7mm tip (which seems to be the most common). Also, I have had issues with the needle tips breaking which spills ink and makes a mess. Even in the pressure change on an airplane doesn't cause problems with the G-2. If you are left handed, the G-2 works quite well - although the ink can smear on fine or glossy paper. (See the smear test in the photos.) I absolutely recommend that everyone give the G-2 a shot. Just keep an eye on them. They tend to frequently "walk away". PROS: - Comfortable rubber grip - Balanced weight - Writes smooth & precise lines - Does not bleed through paper - Works well with carbon paper or duplicate checks (appropriate pressure is applied to produce a duplicate image on the 2nd sheet) - Ink dries quickly - Gel Ink does not leak when pen is shaken - Strong yet flexible clip - The pen is clear allowing you to see when you are running out of ink. - Can hold modified Mont Blanc Rollerball refills (do a quick web search for "G2 Mont Blanc") - Refillable - Ink refills reduce waste & cost less than a new G-2 pen - No cap that can fall off or get lost - As there is no cap the pen can be picked up, opened, used, and closed with only one hand.

Yes they’re decently smudge proof and write well but not as fine tipped as I was expecting (I didn’t want a pen as thick as most g2 pens and this is the same) and definitely not as bleed-proof. They don’t necessarily “bleed” through the next page but they’re thicker heavier ink so it very much shows/shadows through the page no matter how light you try to write. If you had a thicker pages journal these are good but not if you have thin typical spiral notebooks (like me trying to take class notes in this)

Sarasa dry gel pens are the best gel pens I've ever used and I've tried them all! They don't skip, they don't smear and they are not blotchy. Just smooth and clear and the ink dries quickly with no smudges. These would also be great for left handed folks. In my number 2 place would be pilot G2 gel pens which are very good and in number 3 the Uni signo gel pen. I use 0.7 fine point. I always go back to the sarasa dry and the G2 is a pretty fair substitute when I can't get the sarasa dry.

I can't believe I just discovered Sarasa Dry. Writes so smooth. The grip is a bit slippery but other than that no negatives about this pen.

-Perfect for left handed writing -Actually dries basically instantly -smooth, inky writing Lefties rejoice! Perfect for left handed people. Growing up, I always got a sore hand if I wrote for extended periods. It wasn't until adulthood that I found out that that's common for lefties because you have to push the pen rather than pull it, and with less than great pens, it makes it even worse because to have to push harder. After looking into it, I read in multiple places that the Uniball Jetstream was the best for lefties. For comparison, the glide of the Uniball is better than most pens, but the ink isn't very dark or the most consistent. These pens are waaay better. With a lot of pens (especially the dreaded gel pen), "quick drying" ink is a lie. It'll dry of course, but not quick enough for a leftie--either they smear on the page, or even if they don't they still get ink on the side of your hand. These actually dry like amazingly instantly. I even just started writing scribbles just to get my hand on the ink immediately...and no SMEARING. or ink transfer. :O And with many pens, they advertise smooth ink flow, but lefties need particularly smooth since, again, they're pushing rather than gliding/pulling. That's why gel pens have always been my favorite to use but the bane of the side of my hand's existence. But these give you the dark, flowey/gliding, consistent ink that you really need. Obviously, they would then also be great for righties. c; I will say one of the pens had start/stop ink, so I'll have to return and exchange, but other than that, amazing!
