smooth but unreliable
These pens are only okay. they would be wonderful if they worked consistently, and if they lasted longer. I only get a few days, maybe a week of use out of them before they are completely out of ink. And they randomly stop working multiple times before they are completely out of ink. I don't know if it's air bubbles in the ink cartridge or something but they begin to get lighter and lighter until no ink is coming out and I have to scribble a bunch to work through it and get the ink flowing again. They write smoothly and are comfortable to grip, but I'm disappointed in their lack of reliability.

You denied my return of order #912002632503698 when it was returned in original packaging and condition within the 30 day return window, keeping my money and my return. Target sucks! Everyone, boycott!

Does not last very long.
The ink doesn’t last very long. Sometimes stops writing and you have to scribble with it to get it writing again. The point is good size for med ink and fits well in the hand but I have to find something that is more consistent and lasts longer for daily use.

Bold and Smooth
This pen is so smooth it doesnt even feel like you're writing! It glides well on most paper. I also like the bolder look with the 1.4mm tip. I havent experiences much skipping if any at all, if anything there may be some streakiness but that may be because I press a little hard when writing...so that may be user error. Great non-gel pen for bold writers!

Smooth writing, clear duplicates, comfortable
Writes smoothly on all types of paper. Great checks with clear duplicate images. Comfortable grip for long writing sessions. Quick dryng ink, but needs few seconds on slick paper. Bought dozen two years ago, will order more soon.

Nice pens
These are my favorite pens I have been buying them for about 5 years for work they are smooth writing and good price. Although a few have had loose tops and will fly off lately I still will continue buying them and for the price and smooth writing I give them 5 stars.
