Ball Pens, Vivii Premium Gel Ink Roller Ball Pens, Fine Point, Black Ink, 6 Per Box, Extra Fine(0.5mm), 18 Pack

Wow! My bookkeeper mentioned to me that we needed more pens for the office and she found these online while waiting for me to get off the phone. I'm so glad I was busy that day because she found an exceptional pen! Granted, I've only had them one day, but I've been writing with them ever since they arrived and the quality is outstanding for such a simple pen.I'm sure most of you are familiar with gel ink technology. Gel inks tend to flow very smoothly due to the way gel ink is made and how the pigment is suspended. (Check out Wikipedia for a description of the technology) One of the typical downsides of gel ink is that they tend to smear. Not these pens. I'm not sure what they have done with their particular formula, but these dry almost instantaneously as I have had no trouble with smearing at all. Additionally, with gel inks you tend to have more pigment suspended in the solution, as a result you get a much darker print. These again, are no exception and the black is a nice dark black ink.Another great benefit of these particular pens are the fact that the barrel of the pens are square. So even with the cap off, they wont't roll of your desk. They are a smooth plastic case. Not glossy, just a simple matte finish. These pens are not a Parker or Montblanc by any stretch of the imagination, but they write very, very well.I'm buying more of these and I promise you, you will not be disappointed! The 5 star rating is well deserved. Gel pens tend to be a bit more expensive, but the price on these are exceptional. I've personally never heard of Vivii before, but these are great office pens for everyday tasks. I would not have bothered to write a review for a product as simple as a pen, but I was so impressed I felt compelled to let others know. Enjoy!

Normally i use uniball pens but i decided to give these a try because of the price.I write a lot in my day to day life since I'm a student who still uses a notebook. My uniball pens would last 4 months before i would have to get a new one. These lasted two weeks. I thought something was wrong with the pen when ink wouldn't come out. But when i twisted the pen open, i saw that it was low on ink, which was very surprising. I didn't think it was possible for the pen to run out of ink so soon.All in all.... Not worth the price. If taken into account how long this pen lasts, these are very expensive.

Bought these for serving in a fine dining restaurant. Everyone wants them. Mine have lasted for years, if I can keep people from steeling them. lol. They are well balanced and feel good and right very nicely. Great pen in every way!

I was expecting something else, thicker lines. Feels like the pen is too pointy or sharp and because of this I can't press down as much as like for fear of poking through the paper. The design is nice and you do get a lot of them which is also nice. This is Richard arellano reporting live c:Update: it took some time for the ink to get going..and now I've actually changed my mind. I do in fact like these pens a lot!

The body of these pens are just ok. They are nice and light and good for quick note taking. Long writing sessions tend to tire your hand. The cap does not snap on when posted... this is a little irritating because the cap will fall off while writing. I also had issues with the caps cracking after being carried for a while. So this pen is not that great, but it is cheap so what do you expect?The refill, however is very nice! These pens write well. They put down a dark, thin line. I ended up just ripping the refill out of a few and using them in other pens that use a Parker style refill. I really like this gel refill compared to others that I have tried. It is thin bit not scratchy when writing. It does not skip and is much better than a ball point refill.

These are awesome. They are compact but have enough girth to make them comfortable to use for writing a few pages. The squared-off design is nice and the ink is smooth.The point is very fine (as in very small).UPDATE: Just downgraded to 4 stars. I had a couple of pens that were bone dry when I started to use them.

Pros: GREAT deal! 18 fine point pens for only $7 is amazing. The pen writes so smoothly and doesn't smear too much. Like other reviews, the pen is such a unique shape that it stands out, so no one can try to take your pens. The smooth texture does feel great and the pens looks pretty classy (as far as classy pens go I suppose).Cons: Duration :( I'm a grad student so I write a lot and unfortunately I went through 1 pen about every 1-2 weeks. I was curious why I was running out so fast, so I opened the pen and found that the ink cartridge inside is only about 2 inches worth of ink. Although the unique shape stands out, I found that it became uncomfortable after a few hours of writing.

Love the pens will be ordering more soon. Although I have already ordered 36 already . . .it's a habit that I am not ashamed of.I just wish you had more colors. If that should happen please let me know. I am your BIGGEST FAN!!!
