Uni-ball Signo Rubber Grip Ultra Micro Point Gel Pens -0.28mm-black Ink-value Set of 5

- Archival ink: won't weather, fade, or dissolve in water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, propylene glycol, or acetone- These ones are fine point, almost the same size as Sakura Micron 0.1s (I believe those are 0.25mm), and they're not felt tip. I prefer using these to write specimen labels over the Microns because of that.- Sturdy. I bring these out in the field and they haven't fallen off my bag yet (clipped on the outside)- Write well on most everything EXCEPT Rite in the Rain and similarly coated papers, including some (but not all) receipts

These pens are my absolute favorite. I've bought individual uniball signos in the past, from JetPens.com, but it always takes at least a week to receive and I spend too much on miscellaneous art/writing utensils, not to mention they don't discount anything, even when you buy in bulk.This is a great deal. As someone who has bought nearly every type/brand of pen from both domestic and imported manufacturers, I can assure you, that this is a fantastic pen. It arrived within 24 hours of ordering (Prime), good packaging, etc.Other reviews state that they write too lightly or run out of ink before they are actually out of ink--I've never encountered this issue. I have these 0.28 mm in at least 8 colors. I will say that the colored ones seem to produce a finer, lighter line than the black ones. The black ones are smooth, precise, and will last until the last drop of ink. If you write a lot and go through pens quickly, then don't expect the life of this pen to be an exception. You can also generally expect and plan on other people stealing them, because these pens are awesome and people are natural pen-stealers.Understand that you are buying a very fine-tipped pen. I've heard someone describe them as scratchy, and I'd agree with them if you don't write at an angle. I suppose if you push down hard when you write (or hold a pen extremely perpendicular to a page), you could potentially poke through a sheet of paper with the pen tip.I might also add: I particularly like these pens for detailed drawing and for writing in notebooks, as they do not bleed through a page. I am also a lefty, so I am constantly seeking pens that don't smear.Just buy these pens.

My favorite pen of all time. And I’m such a stickler! This really performs right to the bottom of the ink cartridge. The finest line that still feels like a roller ball. Not scratchy at all, and the pen tip is sturdy. I tried the pilot hi-tec-c .25 — good pen, but the stem on the tip is extremely delicate. Drop the pen once and it stops working. With my uni-ball signo .28, I’ve never had that problem. Dropped here and there and the ink always reliably flows. I’ve used each one until empty.

I love these pens. I can't say anything bad against them. The ink dries at lightning speed, almost before you finish writing the word. This means no smudges, no smears, and no stains on your hands from moving your papers too quickly. I don't know what voodoo science Uniball uses in their ink formula, but I'm not complaining!And the precision! These pens have a 0.38 mm point that never, and I mean never, skips. Even on my cheap notebook paper, the ink flows as smoothly as syrup. Again, some voodoo science lol. Whatever the reason, these pens write like a dream.If you want to up your pen game and never settle for a subpar writing experience again, do yourself a favor and buy a pack of Uniball Signo micro grip gel pens today. If you’re tired of pens that skip or drag as you write try these. I use them for journaling and everything thing else.The 0.38 mm tip is super precise so you can write so tiny if you want, and the grip won't slide out of your handYour hand, wrist, and inner writer will thank you. Trust me, once you go Signo, you'll never go back to those cheap, other no name ballpoints again!

The Uni-ball Signo pens are my absolute favorite pens, especially these ones. I really enjoy the fine tip. I’m not a fan of bold pens. These are good for note taking and drawing as well. These don’t bleed through paper either like some pens do, even with thinner paper. I am light handed and bolder pens aren’t as even but these are. They might smear a little when highlighting if you don’t wait for them to dry, which isn’t a big deal to me. Will definitely buy again when I start running low.

Where have you been all my life... I use these for writing, drawing, everything. The fine point doesn't bleed, and has the quality of drawing pens like multiliners. I use this alongside my Copics and Microns. And I don't feel so bad also writing for hours with them, using up all the ink. I write tiny, and the extreme fine point is incredible. Much like a .03 drawing pen, with force behind the lines. It does scratch a bit depending on how you hold it. I haven't tried it with many fine papers. So far it works great in my Bullet journal and some Strathmore drawing pads.

The media could not be loaded. UNI-BALL!!!!Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.I wasn’t always a pen snob. Sadly I must now admit that I am quite the snob. I am ruined for any other pen. I.JUST.CANTI found a pen with a .25 mm ball and it’s just a little too small. .3 mm ball is just slightly too big. .28 mm ball is simply the sweet spot. It just produces a very fine and clean line. No blurring. I simply love these pens and it bothers me all day if I lose my pen and then have to use an “ordinary” pen for the rest of the day. To prevent that, I carry 2-3 pens in my pocket every day.I would challenge anyone to find a pen that produces a finer line. These are my absolute favorites and I don’t ever want to use any other pen.*** UPDATE! It turns out that not only do these pens provide a very fine and solid line. It also doubles as a kitten toy! Stock up now. Lols ***
