3.0 out of 5 stars Great most of the time..., October 12, 2005

When the ink flows, this pen writes very smoothly with even lines. The gel ink dries fast enough that I rarely run into any smearing unless I'm writing on an unusual surface...so caution if you write on non-paper surfaces or glossier papers.

Unfortunately, about 1/2 of these pens (I use them both at work and at home) run into ink stoppages. Sometimes you can get the ink flowing again, but many times you just have to throw them away. This is very frustrating as the ink stoppages have occurred in meetings (several now) where I can't get to a new pen, and I really shouldn't have to carry around 2 pens just in case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome in blue!, October 29, 2010

This review is from: Pilot G2 Fine Point, Black Gel Ink Pens, Box of 12 (31020) (Office Product)

My office has been buying these Pilot G-2 07 pens for the last couple years in blue and black ink and I'm not sure if I have ever used a simpler and better pen. The black ones for some reason don't seem to work consistently and run into the typical pen problem of going through times where nothing will come out, but the blue ones have always worked amazingly. The blue ones write SO easily that I refuse to grab any other pens from our supply cabinet and I even buy these at home now. In my opinion the grip feels great and the pen is easy to grab onto and keep in your hand. The ink in my experience comes out very thin and dries very quickly and only smears *immediately* after writing. After 2-3 seconds it is already dry and you're good to go. It is a click pen, and it doesn't appear to be any louder than other click pens; it may be slightly quieter.

I cannot recommend the black pens because they are not as reliable, and I have not used the two other colors, but I can tell you that the regular blue pens are my go-to pens now. They are simply awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Writes So Nicely, June 29, 2009

By

This pen writes beautifully and effortlessly. The ink flows easily from the first use until empty. These pens don't skip, they don't take a long time to get going. They're very comfortable in the hand. I'm a leftie and I agree with what a previous reviewer said about leftie smudging, but I have yet to find a gel pen where that doesn't happen, so I didn't find this any worse than any of the others.
