uni-ball 207

Nice pens. They arrived quickly. The most of the time I write with these pens for notes, texts, greeting carts, recipes etc. I love the way they write. They are smooth and almost smudged free (quick air dry time for greeting cards). I have them in many colors and also in different sizes, such as 05 and 07. I also purchased fillers for them. The majority of the time I use the blue color. It makes it nice to take notes in different colors, especially for printed texts. I am so glad they put the color code on the top part of the pen for differentiation. But if I have two blue pens or two black pens in a drawer or desk in size 05 and 07, I have no way knowing which pen to pick, since they are identical to each other from the outside. It would be nice to have the size written on the pen.

Love these pens, but I almost threw them away. There is nothing on the package to let you know the ball point tip is dipped is some greenish blue plastic. You have to use your fingernails to remove that plastic and then it writes just fine. The main reason for these pens is the special ink in them. This ink cannot be erased chemically by crooks trying wash checks. This is a huge safety factor and for less than $2 per pen. It writes smoothly, glides quickly, looks really classy, and the line is not too thick or thin. Great pen, but remember to remove that tip cover.

I much prefer writing when the ink is wet and the pen's ball rolls easily rather than having to push hard to move a pen with drier ink. These are decent wet ink pens that have a reasonable life. Essentially disposable when the ink is exhausted but good for me doing fast writing.

I had just 1 of these pens for a couple years now and used as my nightstand note/Journal tool. I love it because it is always ready to use, no matter how long it's been lying there. Smooth even ink distribution from the medium point. Rubber grip and easy press down end on/off. Has attached clip to use if needed and exposed ink volume tube. I like the black ink and medium point personally so that's what I stick with. Good sturdy pen that is not lightweight, comfortable for my hand. Ordered the 12 pack because I want to have plenty on hand!!

I like these pens. The ink writes smoothly, and they are reasonably priced. I choose this brand because the .7 mm tip writes with some thickness without being a "bold" tip (but you can buy this brand in bold-tip too, if you wish). It's also great that they help prevent check-washing fraud (when a theif "washes" the ink off a check, and then rewrites it for a different name or amount). I recommend.

Ok, I usually only write reviews for products or places that I either really like, or that I really want people to be wary of. Pens usually don't qualify in either category, although, as a teacher and a full time grad student taking online courses, I do have clear preferences in pens. I am currently enrolled in a College Algebra course (part of my Secondary Math Education Masters program), and taking tons of notes because it's been 25 years since the last time I took this course! So, I need a good quality pen to take the notes. I wanted a gel pen because they typically write more smoothly, and because I wanted multiple colors to keep things more organized. I went to the office supply store, looked at a number of different pens and decided, based on its packaging claims, to give this one a try. I have used many different types of gel pens over the years, and usually have a problem smudging the ink onto the side of my pinky (I don't have perfect hand positioning when I write, which is funny when I teach cursive writing!) I have had a number of other problems with gel pens over the years. Sometimes ink is distributed unevenly. Somebody mentioned in one post about the ink not flowing evenly throughout the letters, losing ink at the top. This has happened with other pens as well. I have even been reluctant at times to let students do their final drafts of their writing in gel pen because of the mess. Not with the Uni-ball 207 pens. These pens rock! They are a joy to write with! I have some arthritis in a couple of knuckles and a little neuropathy from meds I treated with a couple of years ago. These pens are extremely comfortable to me, and I like the way the rubber grip fits well in my fingers. The ink distributes evenly. The color is bold and a strong black. And, best of all, NO SMUDGES! I ran out of ink yesterday, so I ordered these as a replacement (oh, another benefit is just how much I was able to write with one pen. I was able to fill more than 1/2 of a marble composition book with one pen). You can get the refills, but the price of these four were comparable to two refills. When I ran out, I grabbed a Pentel gel pen that was nearby. Oh NO! Smudges!! I had forgotten that that even happened because I haven't had the slightest smudge with the Uni-ball. There are a lot of valid reasons and many different uses that people have posted in these reviews. But, if you want a pen that is an outstanding value for their price and will give you satisfaction with their use, buy these!!!! You will not regret it.

Excellent pens. Just note to remove the plastic cover on the pen tips! I had almost returned them until I realized that there is a very small plastic cover on each pen tip, and that I had to remove them in order for them to write. Initially, I was under the impression that none of them would write! I was 1 step close to returning the entire box until I realized that. I wished the box had a warning about that!

Great quality pens, smooth and fast, dries quickly, doesn't make my hands cramp.

Look great, feel great, last a good few weeks with every day use. I have received many compliments on my pen and how nicely it writes! So far only 1 out of maybe 10 has broken. Needs a few minutes to dry otherwise will smudge.

Perfect pens

Los conozco y me gustan gracias

These are the best gel pens. I use them at work (we only purchase uni ball gel pens now !!) and I just bought myself a box for home! Love to write with these !!

These were my next attempt at finding the perfect pen after enjoying my Sharpie stick finepoint 0.5mm permanent markets for the past year. My gripe with the sharpies was that you couldn't write on carbon copies, and this would mean I needed a second pen for that. Otherwise, they were perfect. The Uniball 207's have a great form-factor design that feels really good in the hand for long periods of use. The metal side buckle feels sturdy, and the spring depressor has a very satisfying click. The ink has flowed very well in the first few days of use, and I haven't seen any issues with consistency yet. I will update the review if I get any blotching or dry spells during use. 0.7mm is a reasonable size for writing small enough for note taking, but still thick enough to be legible through fax. This seems like a good all around pen for me. Good thing, I have 36 pens to get through...!
