This isn't my first Uniball pen. I've used dozens of types over the years when I'm not using my beloved Sharpies!

My first reaction after using to write lists and in my journal: Feels like the last time I wrote using a good fountain pen. Thumbs Up! Really like that.

Tried a variety of writing surfaces from copy paper, journal paper to heavier weight cover stock and specialty paper. Used each color. No smearing, no blobs of ink, just smooth, consistent ink dispersal onto paper. No ragged edging or blurring in the lines. (I think you could easily use this for line-drawn illustrations, but I'm not an artist.)Best of all, no intense leakage thru even my appointment book (which has thin-ish paper).

Colors: I thought I was going blind when matching the ink colors to the descriptions. I tried viewing the samples in different light with same problem. I could barely distinguish some colors from each other and they really didn't, to my eyes, match the description. That's not an issue, however, unless having the specified color is important to you. The red and green were really "off" from what you'd expect from what you've seen of red and greens in this type of pen.

What works the best for me here is the smooth lines, the comfort (feels good in my hand) and ease of writing--as I said, I felt like I was using a really good fountain pen minus the scratching that sometimes occurs with them.

Value: Even given my praise, I'm not sure they're worth the price (which seems to vary), particulary with the ink color issue. There are, after all, lots of other options out there, even in Uniball styles.
