Title: Ink quality has diminished
Product review: While searching for a pen to write with one day I stumbled upon an old Pilot G2 pen I forgot I had. I loved it. It wrote smoothly, without skipping, and put down a nice, solid dark line. When the ink got closer to the bottom I decided to purchase some ink refills.The difference is night and day. With the new ink refill the pen writes scratchily and seems to tire my hand out more while writing. Plus, the ink quality is not the same. In a side-by-side comparison with the old ink, the new one is not quite as dark and there's a subtle smear line through each ink stroke. Rather than a completely smooth line.It seems like the quality for a lot of pens and pencils have been decreasing over recent years. I'm sad to say that it appears Pilot G2 pens have followed in this same trend.On another note, I have found that Pentel Energel pens write similarly to the way the old G2's did. However, I think the pens themselves are ugly. But that's maybe a minor trade-off to some.
