Product Information

The good news is you don’t have to spend a lot to get a pen that’s worthy of your signature. After researching 62 pens and writing zealously with 37 of them, we have recommendations for ballpoint, rollerball, and fineliner pens that are affordable and satisfying to write with. Skipping refers to ink not consistently connecting lines or letters, particularly when you’re writing in script.

FriXion pens and everything you write, draw or colour with them is linked to your needs and desires. If you like dark lines, prefer a bit of resistance from your paper when writing and drawing, or have handwriting that produces especially small letters, consider the Pilot Precise V5 RT.The Center of Gravity is also just a great pen in general. Its hybrid ink combines the long-lasting elements of a ballpoint pen with the dark, vibrant lines of a gel pen. All things considered, I was very pleased with how these pens performed! I will definitely use these pens for note-taking. They won’t replace my Sharpie pens anytime soon (only because gel pens aren’t my favorite for journaling), but I’m also actively forcing myself to accept more mistakes. It’s helping my productivity. FriXions are a great option if you need smooth, dark lines with the freedom to erase. Over to you! Have you tried FriXion or another brand of erasable ink? Comment below to share your tips for stress-free journaling. Brainstorm with me! This is a Pilot Frixion Erasable Rollerball pen which is arollerball pen thatproduces ink that can be instantly erased if you make a mistake.

Some people like 0.7mm tipped pens because it’s not too bold like the 1mm or too thin/light like the 0.5mm. Others prefer the extra-fine point while there are a few who is more at ease writing with the medium point. Whatever tip you prefer isn’t an issue. The issue is, do you know what kind you prefer? Precision and consistency: We looked for pens that create uniform, crisp lines. Was there any smudging, feathering, skipping, or blotting? Did the ink bleed through to another sheet? The most consistent complaint among our staff testers was that even though the Jetstream RT produces darker lines than most ballpoint pens, its ink still isn’t as saturated or dark as ink from rollerball and gel pens.In our tests, the EnerGel RTX wrote smoothly—never skipping or smudging—and its needle-point tip was as precise as that of the Pilot Precise V5 RT. Available ink colors include options we haven’t seen often with other pens, including gray. The Jetstream Slim Multi-Color has a rubber grip, so it’s pleasant to hold. And this pen comes with the same refillable smooth ink found in other Jetstream pens. Among pens designed to reduce writing stress, the Pilot Dr. Grip Center of Gravity is the best we’ve tested. Our testers—including a retired medical professional with arthritis—found the wide grip easy to hold, and this pen had the best balance of softness and firmness. Having this information will ensure that you’ll be one step closer to getting that really great writing experience we all desire. How well does the Eraser “Erase”? Gone are the days when “written in ink” equals to permanence. These days, ink is erasable. And before people start talking about pencils, let’s just put this out there: not everyone likes to use pencils, pens are more reliable writing devices, pencils smear, and using pencil erasers create flakes.

the Pilot Precise V5 RT, a rollerball pen, for writing with a more saturated, darker line than you get from a lower-priced ballpoint There are many more colors available, and I think it’s safe to assume the other colors behave similarly to the ones I’m trying. When I hear “erasable pen” I think of those old skinny, goopy ballpoints with the hollow erasers on the end. Remember those? They skipped on the paper, smeared like crazy, and dropped what can only be described as ink boogers. So, just to put your mind at ease, FriXion pens are NOT your grandma’s erasable pens. Overall Writing Experience We cannot talk about pens or writing without talking about color. Vanstek, like us, appreciates the fact that the writing itself is just as important as what is written. This is why more than any other competitor in the market, these guys have put an almost tangible effort into ensuring variation in the pen colors. Their bright colors, coupled with 0.7 mm tips, make for crisp penmanship. They come in a convenient retractable design that ensures you don’t lose pen caps, which gets old really fast. All of these products have thermo-sensitive “erasable” ink. Erasable highlighters come in handy for me since I tend to go highlighter crazy. I had a professor in college tell me, “If you highlight everything, you’ve highlighted nothing.” Good advice, doc. Erasable Highlighters

This pen comes with a rubber tipped end that erases ink cleanly using friction-generated heat. With this unique new Pilot pen you can write, then instantly erase and re-write with ease. A pen’s aesthetics can contribute to the overall writing experience. And this was confirmed in our testing: Several of our testers preferred the Uni-ball Signo RT1 to the Pentel EnerGel RTX due to the Signo RT1’s understated (albeit all-plastic) design. Smudging is when the ink smears and the letters you write blur. It’s particularly noticeable if you write left-handed or try to highlight something you just wrote. (Slow-drying inks that typically smudge can even transfer to other paper.) The ink refills are smaller than those in a regular Jetstream pen, though, so they’re a bit less cost-effective. But if you often write in different colors, we think the convenience is worth it.
