My new favorite pens!

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024

I like everything about these!
The case, the way they write, how they feel in my hand, they look nice, they don't smear, they haven't ran out of ink so I don't need to shake them, it drys quickly.
They are so easy to use and easily my new favorite pens.

Leaking!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024

Have had these for a couple of months, and now they are starting to leak. At first it was just one but now more are. Very disappointed cause we love using these pens at my job.

I have purchased these pens before, and I love them. I use them daily in my notebook for work and in personal planner. Writing in color makes mundane tasks eyepopping.

There is a great variety of colors for pens most colors are vibrant. They feel nice to write with clean lines and dry pretty fast but they can still smudge. Seen a lot of reviews about the white pen with brown ink and to be fair the images showed the white pen was dark brown but it would be nice to have it in a dark brown casing to avoid confusion.

I needed a set of gel pens for my bullet journaling and I settled on these because I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on Pilot Frixion pens. However, these are surprisingly quality gel pens for the price and I am delighted!

Firstly, the outside of each pen is plastic with a lovely soft texture. The pens are very consistent in their build and coloring, so they're nice to look at as well as hold. They're 0.5mm tips so the lines are very thin, but because the ink colors are so bright the thin lines stand out beautifully. The package came undamaged, with little plastic balls on the tip of every pen. While the navy blue one did look like it leaked a little in shipping, neither it nor any of the other pens had any issues with ink skipping or clogging. I didn't pop any of them open to see how much ink is in each pen and I've only had them for a few days so I have no idea how long they'll last, but I'm optimistic considering their quality so far.

As long as I get at least a few months of daily use from these pens, I will definitely be purchasing them again!

Wow! I am so impressed with these pens. I love the way they write, and they don't bleed through the paper. They came packaged so securely and each with a wax cover over the tip of the pen so they wouldn't dry and you know they're brand new. I included pictures of a swatch test, the bleed through (or lack there of) on the other side of the printer paper, and an example of some writing I used the pens for. They didn't bleed at all in my bullet journal, and curl the paper far ar less than bic pens/alternative name brand pens.

Here's some things I loved, and just a couple things I think the manufacturer can improve on.

Pros:
-vibrant colors (even the yellow stands out)
-not a single fluke, every pen worked beautifully!
-every pen was saturated nicely, will all show up on white paper
-write smooth for such small tipped pens
-precise and easy to grip
-unique look (they're sleek!)

Cons:
-a few of the colors didn't match the pen, especially the greens (which were very blue)
-would have liked to see a bit more distinctiveness of each color, a couple were very close to one another

Oh and just so you know, the white colored pen writes brass/gold (that one on the swatch picture is the only other vertical one, next to black!)

Would shop this brand again!

I first bought these as a gift but I had to get one set for myself. I love the variety of colors and the ones I have used so far, all work. They are not smooth with writing but I enjoy them nonetheless.

I’ve been rebuying these pens for years now! When I was in college everyone loved these and I shared it with them, in my professional work it is a god sent to have good pens that I can assign to clients. I will always rebuy these
