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.

One of the very best pens on the market. Writes so smooth and easy. Dries quickly and will not smudge. Very durable pen. I've tried a lot of pens - I'm a pen junkie and this is one of the very best.

Everything I wanted in a ballpoint pen for check-writing, envelope addressing, etc. Smooth writing, ink that doesn't seem prone to forming globs on the tip, quick-drying, supposedly water-proof, etc. Unlike with gel pens, I can press hard enough for carbon copies and the line quality seems unchanged. The only question remaining is how many years they'll last, before drying out. This is what usually kills my ballpoint pens.

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.

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

smooth writing. button can get stuck.

Excellent pen!
