uni-ball® 207™ Retractable Fraud Prevention Gel Pens, Medium Point, 0.7 mm, Black Barrels, Red Ink, Pack Of 12

These are the best gel pens that I have found. They write smoothly and without a lot of effort. I have been buying this particular pen for years, and I cannot say enough about how much I like them. I am left handed and they do not smear at all which is a real problem with left-handers. They were a tremendous price so I grabbed up a box of them and am very happy that I got such a deal. Even without a deal, I highly recommend these pens.

I have been searching for almost 80 years for the perfect pen. I have found it. Writes well, comfortable to use and even looks nice. I have stopped my search.

Works as advertised. Price is lowest I have found.

The ink flows smoothly, the nib glides effortlessly, and it feels well-balanced in hand. It adds a touch of elegance to everyday writing. Perfect for journaling, note-taking, or as a thoughtful gift!

These gel pens are great! They glide so smoothly! Every time I lend them to someone I don’t get it back. I’m glad I got the big box of them! Sometimes the ink gets a little faint and you just have to press a little harder.

I found one of these pens in one of those random boxes of craft supplies that tends to pile up when you have kids. It had to be at least a couple years old by the time I found it, but it wrote so smoothly and boldly that it instantly became my favorite pen. (That one pen you keep in your pocket or hidden under your keyboard; the one you refuse to loan out for fear of it getting stolen... If you're reading reviews for pens, you probably know what I mean.) I used it over the especially-rough 2020 holiday season for all my greeting cards, lesson plans, shopping lists, and even for inking and lettering a few illustrations and comic book pages. My hand glided across the papers with a confidence I didn't even know I had. When the findling pen began to wane, I realized I had to have more! My most recent favorites (a compromise between quality and quantity for the sake of economy) just didn't feel the same anymore... I realized I just couldn't go back. As a writer, calligrapher, and artist, I have used some very nice pens 'in my time' but these are by far the best for their price.PROS: The ink and roller ball are so lovely and smooth that you'll be inspired to write more! The ink has a strong color, especially if you allow for drying time (as opposed to blotting). Nice enough grip. If you're the type to accrue craft supplies in piles (like me) then buying some of these will be an awesome excuse to toss some older pens into the recycling bin. They seem to last forever. I put the findling through the gauntlet these past few months, and it's still going! I cracked the new pack to test them, and all 12 seem to be perfect. And apparently they have a pretty long shelf life.CONS: The ink does take a while to dry, especially on glossy papers. (Blotting helps, but it can also cause smearing and/ or fading. I learned the hard way! Please learn from my mistakes! Allowing time and space for air drying is best.) They're also a tiny bit more costly than my previous go-to pens, but the longevity, flow, and feel make them well worth it.I'll probably buy more of these to gift out for birthdays and holidays this year... and if I live long enough to use up (or lose... or have stolen... or run through the dryer...) the dozen I bought myself, I'll certainly buy more for myself as well!

Really good deal for these pens. Writing is smooth and ink is consistent. Would definitely recommend.

Christmas pens to co/workers. Great pens, bold, smooth, my preferred pen of choice.Box said Made in Japan, finally something not made in China.
