5.0 out of 5 stars Really good pens, June 9, 2010

(What's this?)

Well, I must start out by saying that I have always preferred gel pens, and these BIC pens are among the best that I have used. They make a nice, bold line that looks bright and clear, and makes your writing more eye-catching. I really enjoy using them, and don't hesitate to recommend them. Do yourself a favor, and get yourself some really good pens, some BIC Triumph 537 gel pens!

4.0 out of 5 stars SMOOTH EASY FLOWING SCRIPT, June 7, 2010

This review is from: BIC Triumph 537 Retractable Gel Medium Point (0.7mm) Pen, Black, 2 Gel Pens (Office Product)

(What's this?)

Unlike other ballpoint pens that I've used this BIC has a very smooth flowing ink that makes the script look very much as if it had been done by a fountain pen. That's a plus for me as my preference for writing thank you notes is a fountain pen.

The easy grip made of rubber is also certainly an improvement over other pens. Seldom do I clip a pen into a shirt pocket, but nonetheless the addition of the silver clip does give the pen a rather sleek streamlined look.

As to whether or not I'll invest in a new cartridge I'm not sure - will have to wait and see just how long a cartridge lasts. Will add to these comments when that time comes.

3.0 out of 5 stars The temperamental pen, June 16, 2010

This review is from: BIC Triumph 537 Retractable Gel Medium Point (0.7mm) Pen, Black, 2 Gel Pens (Office Product)

(What's this?)

BIC pretty much has left a "mark" (pun intended) in the writing utensil market. If it isn't razors then it is pens/pencils. This pen is a sleek gel pen with black ink. I am not sure what the real selling pitch of this pen is supposed to be. However, I have been using this pen at work for the past two weeks. The pen is very comfortable and ergonomically correct. I have used many pens that are awkward and vex the hand after a bit of use. I am pleased to say this pen is very comfortable to use.

In contrast, the ink is a bit erratic, since it is gel it at times dries quickly and other times takes a bit longer to dry. This can result in smudges on the paper, one's hands and in a few occasions' clothes. With regards to the clothes, I was writing and the cuff of my shirt touched the paper before the ink dried and a nice stain on my sleeve. Lovely. The ink will also bleed and at times doesn't write smoothly, yet it times it promotes beautiful penmanship. This boggles my mind.

I wouldn't go as far to say this pen is useless or that I won't continue to use it, I will, at least until the ink runs out. I cannot say I will be buying refills for this pen. I have never been a fan of gel pens just because they can be sloppy. This new pen by BIC hasn't worked all the quirks out, so my view of gel pens haven't changed too much, but the ergonomics of this pen are great. I suppose for the price for two pens it isn't terrible, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
