PentelBL107C EnerGel-X Retractable Roller Gel Pen, .7mm, Blue Barrel/Ink, Dozen

I LOVE these pens! I have Harley Davidson checks and this is the perfect orange to compliment those and my address labels! I first purchased a multi color pack with blue, green, pink, orange and purple. The gel is much brighter and easier to read in the Pentel EnerGel-X than any other pen or ink type I've tried in all the colors. I went back to black and blue ink for a few weeks after mine ran out and I just didn't like it after spoiling myself with this great orange for so long. I think the ink lasted well, I went back through my check register and I started about 10 months before I ran out, I didn't use it for anything else tho, just check and envelope writing. I am also a southpaw and I don't experience lefty smear with this ink much, so it dries quickly. The shape of the pen is comfortable and the rubber cushion is a nice touch for long periods of use. I like the click feature as well because I am never good at keeping track of a cap! Fun. Vivid Ink. Great buy with the 12 pack!

The .7 flows a bit too much, but at under $9 for a dozen, it's a great deal. Add to that how well the ink glides on nearly any paper, and it's hard to beat these pens.Sure they are not made in Japan anymore, and the pen is all-plastic, but the hue of the blue is beautiful, the click is satisfying, and the grip is good too.Sadly, they do seem to finish fast, but at this quality and this price, it's fine to frequently refill the stash. Refills are available too, but don't make any financial sense to buy those as they are more expensive than buying the full sets of 12. If you're looking for possibly the best value/quality pens ever, these are it.

Recommend for smooth writing and perfect line thickness - not too thick or thin. Have been buying the pens & the refills for YEARS. High consistency of ink quality. Love these pens. People who borrow them love them, too, so I give many away; that's why I have to buy the pens themselves as well as the refills. If they ever stop selling the refills I'll be SAD, bc I'll have to find another pen - I'm cheap like that. Love these pens.

Beautiful orange color and they write very well. 🧡

LOVE the colors but going for a finer point next time

I bought a box of these 0.7mm pens, following up that purchase with the same pens in the 1.0mm size, which I prefer. The 0.7mm pens are nice, but I find that they're just very slightly scratchy on paper, whereas the 1.00mm size lays down a truly smooth line of gel ink. The 7's are very nice pens, but my preference is for the wider line and smoother flow. With the 1.0 pens I get the full feel of a gel pen; with the 0.7's it still feels like gel, but I don't find the smoothness to be AS noticeable.The more narrow line of the 0.7mm pens might appear a bit more refined, and in the photo I'm attaching you can see the difference in the line widths.I'm left handed but don't drag my hand across the ink as I write, but I did test for smearing and with regular paper I get no smearing at all.I haven't had these long enough to say definitively how long a pen will last, but no issues in that regard are apparent so far. They arrive with a tiny bead of plastic on the tip, meaning there are no issues with drying prior to receipt.Bottom line for me: these are very nice gel pens, nice feel, good gel/ink flow, but I slightly prefer the even smoother 1.0mm point versions of the same pen.

I have been teaching high school English for the past 9 years (daunting, I know). I really do not like to use red pens because they always make a paper look like it's bleeding hence it has a negative connotation. Regardless, I have always used green pens. These particular pens, the Pentel EnerGel-X are pretty much as good as it gets. They write smoothly, and rarely smear. Everything I have ever wanted in a pen. I wish that they sold them in bulk at Office Max, though, because that is where my school gets supplies. Since they do not, I have to buy them with my own money :(. The simple fact of the matter, is that I am willing to part with upwards of $100 per school year to use these pens. That's an endorsement!!!

I received one of these pens for free during a promo some time back and ever since I have been in love with this pen!! One of the best ever!!! Such smooth & consistent writing & print & it doesn't seem to dry out if you let it sit for awhile. I just pick it up, click, and begin writing!! No scribbling on a piece of scratch paper to get the ink to start flowing again so that I can begin writing. Great pen!! Bonus is that its refillable too!! Con is that the refills cost about as much as a brand new pen.
