Uniball 70879 Uni-Ball Jetstream Fine Point 0.7 Mm Piece Of 3, Assorted

This was one of my favorite pens when I was young, but on repurchase, I noticed that it no longer writes well, at least on printer paper, if your hands are sweaty. I'm not sure if this is a quality change that has occurred over a decade, if my sweat composition has changed now that I'm older, if because I have only recently written on printer paper and not notebook paper, or if the way/how long it was stored in the shipping warehouse. I used to love this pen for its relative smoothness, lack of skipping, lack of intensity needed to apply ink to paper, and lack of smearing on both paper and on the hand (making it great for left-handed people), and comfortable grip that lends itself to the whole body -- much of this remains true. However, in addition to difficulty applying ink with oily/sweaty hands, it also appears to skip more than I remember, even on a fresh piece of printer paper, making it difficult to write in very small print due to the skipping and sort of initial force needed to begin ink transfer onto paper. On the other hand, the Pilot Acroball pen has been very good to me, allowing me to write in very small print without skipping and smearing, although long sessions cause my fingers to get sore. I just wish I had found blue and red ink versions for it. I can't comment on the long-session comfort aspect of the Jetstream now, however, because it is too annoying to write small print with it. I currently use the Acroball for writing text and the Jetstream(s) for underlining and annotating a few words in color.

This are great pens, I am left handed and most pens don’t work well for me. These pens don’t smudge and they write smoothly with a very fine line. I would recommend them to anyone especially left handed people. I will definitely buy again.

these are definitely the best writing tools! they are so smooth on the paper, without leaving any ink mark or excess. simply a pleasure to write with them

Excellent pen!

As far as the quality of writting, it's nice. I wish it was a bit wider writting, but i knew it was thin when i purchased. It doesn't skip. I would not mind it being darker, but it's. Not the most comfortable pen ever, but its ok. It's a good everyday pen, that writes well, at a decent price.

smooth writing. button can get stuck.

I love the Uniball Jetstream pen! The weight of the pen is just right, not too light or heavy, and I feel like I have good control of the pen while writing. The ink flow is smooth, not "skritchy" - writing feels effortless. When I let others borrow them, I never seem to get them back! LOL

I will start out by saying that the Uniball Jetstream pens are my ride or die, im absolutely obsessed (Im somewhat of a pen hoarder, so Ive tried basically everything out there). I had only used the black ink of this pen so I thought i’d give the blue & red a try since I use those colors often to take notes… i’m sad to report that it was not the same experience at all :( unfortunately I noticed these pens skip more often and are not nearly as smooth as the original black ink ones, which is an immediate turn off. I still really enjoy the shape of the pen and how it feels in my hand, but I just can’t get over how much it skips and struggles to write. The pack does have one black ink pen, which is why i’m giving it 3 stars. maybe I just received a bad pack, but I’ll probably just buy the original ones in the future.
