you need writing pens?
-
If you need writing pens. I like the Zebra fine point.
-
I use Star Wars pens , They are cheep at Target
-
Everyday pens, G2 gel pens. Good fine print pens, Zebra fine point. Professional pens, that miracle can go into zero G been in sapce pens.

Leo,
I work for Office Depot in TECH and I can tell you that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good pen!
Personally I prefer the disposable rollerballs made by Bic and Uniball! They're only about 20 bucks or less a box and you get a dozen! My experience has been that the "fancy" pens don't write ANY better than the more expensive ones and sometimes they write like CRAP!
For whatever it's worth!
Have A GREAT Weekend!

Try the BIC Atlantis series pens. I use a red one every day.
-
i work at the apple store and the pens at apple corporate are amazing. i can send you a couple.
-
If you like a bigger pen then I would look up PaperMate's PhD. It has a great weight and feel.
If you aren't looking for a big pen and you go through lots of them then I agree with Jeff Garlick.
-
I love the Paper Mate Flair.
-
This is an awesome pen, it can write anywhere, even in butter.

For everyday use... a fountain pen all the way. I use a Lamy 2000 medium tip with Noodler's ink.
Pilot Precise Grip roller ball bold point comes a close second... black liquid ink.
I agree with Thomas Martin though for a pen to work anywhere Space Pens are they way to go. (But I hate the way all ballpoints cramps my hand... rollerballs and fountains pens are easier for long term writing).
-
Oh! I thought you said PEN. You're gonna have to get your own penis.
-
This is like a holy war ...
Pentel RSVP Medium Point for me ... although, I do most of my writing using Bic Magic Grip 0.7mm mechanical pencils, which handily also double as a stylus for touch devices (I started using them back in my PalmOS days).
Retract lead first :)
-
I've always liked roller ball pens, myself.
-
I rock the Bic Round Stic Grip.
http://www.bicgraphic.... Cheap but great.

I like Instructables' article on how to get Montblanc for $15... brilliant:

uniball micro all the way

I got some of those two Dougie
-
Love the Uni-Ball Jetstreams. They don't smudge on me like the gel pens.
http://www.amazon.com/...
Plus, when you loan them out, you get to watch people struggle with it. For some reason no one realizes it is just a cap when they first pick it up.
-
I love G2s, but they can be messy on some surfaces :/
-
Buy a novelty pen that magically "changes" when tipped upside down. You know the ones ;)
Failing that I really like the Pigma Micron Pens
-
I have been using parker jotters for almost 15 years now. Nothing better. The ink does not leak and blot like a uniball. It doesn't clump and smear like some of the gels and bics. Not very expensive and easy to find the matching .5mm pencil to match.
-
Big fan of the ultra-fine Uniball Signo and of course the Fischer Space Pen. They aren't as cheap but they sure write well. Also, there's a pretty cool little "hack" to put Montblanc ink refills (they make 200 dollar pens and claim to be one of the world's finest writing pens) into a cheapie Pilot G2.
Check it out:

@charles Hutchinson
Parker jotters are definitely the way to go. They easily have the best click. Plus I've been using the same body since high school and just go through refills.

Fisher space pen is all I can recommend.

Ones that write are generally good I find....
-
I would say space pen, but I lose them alot - so I now buy boxes of G2's
-
Mont Blanc, best pen I've ever owned
-
Being left-handed and generally smearing everything I write no matter how careful I am...those Jetstreams are a god send! No smearing.
-
While the Uniball's are great pens, I think I'm going to have to be the odd one out on this. I'm rather fond of the Papermate G-Force .5 mm mechanical pencil. Provides a smooth line every time.
-
Every now and then i have found some high end pens on Yugster.

Uniball Onyx fine point FTW!!!
Gel pens write nice but are formulated to run out of ink faster than standard pens.
about 10 years ago I had a repetitive stress injury and I also have gout so the joints really feel it when I write. The Gels are good and easy to write with but you go through ink over twice as fast. The Onyx line from unibal have a better ink than the standard that makes it faster and easier to write with. It does run out of ink fairly suddenly so a pen can seem fine and then cut out when you need it.
-
I also prefer the pilot g2 pro's
-
I guess I have the best suggestion: No Pens! Since Pens are equal to use of paper and that is killing trees! Everything should be kept in electronic format. Save a tree today! Thank you...

I discovered these pens (
http://www.google.com/... ) while visiting the doctors office a month or so ago. I liked them so much that I bought a set (Red, Black, Blue) for everyone in my office. They're retractable, but they clip into your pocket with the tip down so that the ink doesn't run out of the tip (like a lot of cap style pens), they have a needle point which makes them suitable for use with stencils, if you need that. It also makes it slightly easier to see what you're writing. I haven't had a drop out in the ink flow while writing yet, even on different types of paper, a first for me. I love them. They're made by Pentel, a company more known for mechanical pencils and drafting supplies than pens, but they're made well. The model is the Pentel Energel Deluxe RTX Needle Tip. They come in .5 and .7 mm (fine/medium) but the fine has more plastic parts, the mediums have metal collars at the tip and are slightly more durable, I think. They have quick-drying gel ink that doesn't smear easily, another plus. I've found a limited selection at Office Max, but I'm sure you can find them other places, as well as ordering direct from Pentel (which I did). They run about $3 a piece. They're good for everyday office tasks.
-
Oh, and they're refillable.
-
Uni ball micros are the best pens I've used - I recommend them above all others. Black and blue then bleeding red
-
The most comfortable easy flowing pen I use is the Zebra F-301. I fill out and sign a lot of documents and they always feel great in my hand.
-
Watermans are the best!

Leo always has the best comments even when it's just about pens. :P
I use any pen I can find, so, sorry, not much help here. :-/
-
I like the G2s .7. They do smear on some surfaces so watch out, just let it dry for a quick second and your fine.
-
being cheap, i have always liked plain old bic Round Stic's
-
I like the G2s also. I keep all three sizes, .7 for most writing, .5 for small writing in my planner and 10 for when I need bold.
-
Uniballs I used in the past all have messy ink (leaves a noticeable dot of ink sometimes) . If you just want a bunch of pens to write with, get Bics Round Stics. Find something with a nice grip that you like and make sure you can get refills.
-
I am a big fan of (almost) all things Rotring because of their German engineering and weight. All of the ones I have purchased have a lifetime warranty and a U.S. address for mailing. In the rare times I needed someting repaired, they just sent a replacement (sometimes a +$50 pen!). Try to find any 600 series (my favorites).
