Smooth writing, gorgeous colours no bleed through, love then!
This is my third pack of these pens because I cant gear the thought of ever running out! I am studying a language and use a colour coding system in my note taking and it's been a struggle to find a pen that has bright enough colours, a smooth flow, does not bleed through pages, and fine enough for when I am writing new or complex characters, that need to be very clear. These are the first pens I have tried that have ticked all the boxes. The colours are mostly bright and vibrant, or in the case of the dark colours, rich and deep, I am a particular fan of the purple, which has become my main note taking colour. The pens are very comfortable to hold and being retractable there is thankfully no cap that could get lost. The ink is deposited onto the paper evenly and smoothly and looks great. I use minimum 70gsm paper and have had no bleed through or ghosting. However, I have not tried them on lower quality paper so can't comment on that. The nib is fine enough that I can write complex small characters that I can read back easily, but not too fine, to the point where it is either scratchy or uncomfortable to use. If you like making colour coded notes, or journalling, or hand writing letters, I totally recommend these pens. For what they are, they are not expensive, and they also last for ages.

First tried this pen at my mums house… then bought the full range 🙃
I needed to write a quick note whilst at my parents, used this pen and suddenly I found myself in love. The way it glides so smoothly (I have joint problems and stiff pens are NOT fun) and writes so effortlessly. It makes my handwriting look 🤌🏼 I specifically got these with prime delivery as I had a course the very next day and everyone was raving about them and swatching them and trying them out!!! I don’t find they smudge and the highlighters I use over them don’t smudge the ink either! And the feel of the material of the pen is just to die for! Velvety soft with enough grip to make writing a joy! When you’re an artist with a lot of materials it’s truly the little things that add up. And a good basic pen is one of those things for me. I would LOVE if they were refillable as throwing away the case when it’s such a quality item feels like sacrilege!

Better in May than November!
I absolutely LOVE they pens they are lovely to write with and the colours are vibrant. So why only 4 stars? Well I've ordered this pack twice in 2020 the pack delivered in May, terrific, and I still have some of the colours left. The pack from November has been less perfect, the ink tends to run light all of a sudden and I end up trying to restart it with a scribble like you used to for old ball points. And the the writing is not as perfectly smooth. I'd also like to see better availability of colours in refills so that I can do my green bit and save on wasting the outer barrels because the refills are also brilliant and easy to install. All considered I'm definitely hooked I just hope for a perfect ink flow experience next time I order!

Excellent pens for those who write alot.
I do a fair bit of writing for my personal and professional life. For this reason I not only go through pens and pencils fast but also am on the lookout for comfortable pens to use for longer periods (2-3hrs continuously). I am very satisfied with these pens and can recommend them, especially to those who get pain in the fingers, because my mum who has arthritis loves these too. They arrived in an open packaging and the seller explained they come in wholesale which explains the much reduced price than the market one. Im delighted and a very satisfied customer because I know they are new as all pens have the plastic dot at the roller ball tip to prevent buildup of the gel which affects the rollball gel flow when writing. Additionally the delivery is free and sent immediately.Definitely will bookmark this seller and recommend him for other purchases in the future. In turn, he has a customer for life.

Bought 12
Bought a job lot of 12 all the same colour dark blue which will hopefully see me out 😊 as they are quite difficult to find in the shops and are over twice the price if you do manage to find any. For £1.25 per pen I am very pleased and I now have quite the stash. As other reviewers have stated they did not come in a box as per the advertised photo but loose in a jiffy bag posted through the letterbox but they do look genuine enough possibly delivered like this to save on postage fair enough but customers should be made aware of this before purchasing. They are great for doing the newspaper crossword, the ink does not soak in or smudge, however the same cannot be said for birthday /Xmas cards, you need to let the ink dry a little before closing the card else you'll get ink on the opposite side of the card. Time will tell if I've got any dodgy ones (as per other reviewers saying they dry up, won't write, etc) but so far so good. One last thing I've never seen the wording water based on any box before so assume as water based ink dries out way faster than oil based ink in a typical biro this is why some people are having longevity problems.?

Perfecto
Estos bolis son geniales. Escriben muy bien, la tinta no se corta y los colores son preciosos. Son caros pero merece la pena. Volveré a repetir.

My absolute favorite gel pens!
Amazing pens! Don’t leak, writes smoothly and a lot of colors. Doesn’t smear and I’ve had them 3-4 months now and still plenty of ink left.

Smooth writing as always
The writing experience with the pen mat is extra smooth on the paper. Get to know why it's so expensive....

perfette gel pen
Ho atteso di utilizzarle per un po' prima di recensirle. Sono molto soddisfatta di queste penne, i colori sono molto intensi e la scrittura risulta piacevole e scorrevole. La penna ha un fusto molto rotondo e per me comodo da usare, non stanca la mano. Tutte le tonalità di colore sono davvero belle (anche il marrone e il giallo) lo spessore del tratto è un 0.7 che per me è l'ideale per scrivere nel bullet journal, agende, blocchi ecc ecc. Come tutte le penne gel tendono a consumarsi abbastanza in fretta con un uso intensivo (pagine e pagine di scrittura) rispetto alle penne tradizionali. Queste penne non possono essere ricaricate, una volta terminate si buttano. Il prezzo non è proprio economico ma valgono la spesa. Le consiglio.

Do not waste your money
Ink is already starting to fade. Not all pens working. Not worth the money. Amazon dupes are better
