PILOT G2 Premium Rolling Ball Gel Pens, 0.38mm, Black Ink, 12-Pack

Absolutely love these pens! I used to primarily stick to the .5mm tips, but I've found that even those after extended writing can tend to smear or bleed out a little too much for my liking. These .38 are fine point and leave just the right amount of ink on the page for smooth writing experience and no bleed. They are solid, comfortable to hold, and the black ink is easy to read. The pens are a bolder grip so more comfortable for larger hands, and the rubber soft grip gives you good control. It's not hard to understand why I have found pilot G2s in the majority of professional offices that I have worked at, and these .38 are just the style I need to do quality work and enjoy the writing experience.

These pens are amazing. They've become my go-to daily pen for everything, and I write a lot. I love the tiny point tip, especially for writing in small spaces like planners and making tiny side notes. Even my crazy scrawling handwriting looks better with these because you can see so much detail in the pen stroke since there's really no bleeding/spread. It dries really quickly so if I need to highlight something I just wrote I only have to wait a fraction of the time I have to for other pens. They last a fairly long time given how much I write and you can get replacement inserts as well (though I usually just get a new box of the pens since they're pretty inexpensive). Most importantly, they feel good to write with. You don't have to press hard like with ballpoints and it's not scratchy like a lot of other fine tip pens. My hand doesn't hurt after writing a long time. I have tried sooo many pens and there are some "fancy" pens I still like to write nice notes with but for a quality everyday pen, this is the one.

Perfect blue, perfect writing tip, fine tip. Love these pens. Comfortable and great value. I'll be ordering these again.

I adore these pens for work. They write so crisply, with such precise lines, no smearing, no smudging. They're comfortable in the hand and the ink lasts a good long while. And they're affordable. My workplace provides other pens, but I buy these and bring them in, because they're that much better and it's worth it to have a pen I can trust to always work beautifully when I need it to!

These are the best pens. Even the very finest tips write well with good ink delivery to the paper without having to use extra pressure when writing. Great for times when you have a lot of writing to do. I don't have hand fatigue as sometimes happens with lesser quality or knock off pens. Highly recommend.

Thin line, fancy pen! I love the way this makes my handwriting look! Great grip and comfort - these are my favorite, go to pens!

So I've been trying different calibers of pen tips realizing that I prefer thinner ones and been coming down from 2, to .7, to .5, so I got to .38 and decided to further try .25 but didn't find those good enough for regular writing, so I figure .38 is about optimal for the type of writing I do on a daily basis. The fine tip lets me write a little smaller than other pens which lets me write with my natural handwriting freely and looks great. I suppose that its because it writes pretty equivalent to a .5 mechanical pencil which is what I had used most of my life before. Unfortunately they can't be found in local stores which is why I have to order them. When I use them people comment that I can write so small that I could "write on a grain of rice" or that my notes look like a photocopy. The ink is not super fast drying, it does smear a tad if you run your hand over it accidentally a second or two after writing, but I don't consider that a huge deal. Zero smear is ideal but I do expect ink to behave this way to some extent. However, I have one much bigger concern about them... they don't usually last long enough to use up all the ink. The tip will get damaged somehow and a tiny wire-like thing will just barely peek out of it which makes the pen unusable from then on. I'd say probably half of the pens Ive used or more have this happen to them, and Ive used about 2 dozen so far... Sometimes by the time the ink is mostly used up, but sometimes about halfway through or less. I couldn't really say if its something about the way I use them (like if I have a heavier hand than they are designed for or what). In fact, the only other person that I know who uses these pens brought up the same complaint, before I said anything about it. I do plan to keep using this caliber but I'll see if I can try a different brand maybe. If not Ill have to put up with this defect, because its otherwise a really good pen. That's the only reason I give them 3/4 stars*. ============================================ * If the lowest rating is 1/5 stars then that actually equals 0/4. Its a 4 star system.

Been through several cartridges, one of my daily drivers. Ink flow is just right, perfect for quick small print, grip is comfortable, and the classic Pilot G2 construction feels familiar and high quality.

These are my absolute favourite pens to use!!! I can’t write with any other pens, only these. They are so smooth and the ink doesn’t smudge.

Some pens where dried out but still a deal

Suave al escribir, cómodo al agarre. Se nota la diferencia en la calidad de la escritura

Good product. Great price and fast shipment

My preferred pen because of the fine point, which allows for small and clean-looking lettering. Minimal to no smudging, which is important considering left-handedness. The pen is retractable which means one less part to lose. My only issue is writing through fragile paper or carbon copy layers, I've run into a few instances where the fine tip of the pen rips through the top layer.
