DONG-A Fine-Tech Excellent Writing, 0.3 mm, Gel Ink Roller Ball Pens, Black (Pack of 12)

These Dong-A Fine Tech 0.3 pens are fast becoming my favourite 0.3 pens. No scratching, leaking, blotching, extremely reliable and trustworthy and well made writing instruments.

These pens are very dependable, I know they will write every time I use one. I actually use these pens till they run out of ink ! I have both blue and black and have rebought them several times. Great price also. I often give them away while at a place that I’m writing or filling out paperwork. People are impressed with how thin and neat they write. I’ve given them to several doctors. The picture shows how I use them till the ink is COMPLETELY gone. This one still writes great. But it shows that I need to order more.

Even though this is an ink gel pen, it does not smudge as the ink dries quickly enough.It also does not have "excessive absorption" making the pen strokes thicker.

It's not the most comfortable or nice-looking, but it's the smoothest 0.38mm gel pen I've written with to date. I've tried about 5 others (including Muji), and they all skipped every so often or more than every so often. I have yet to experience any skips in ink with these pens. If I compare it with other gel pens I've tried in general (20+ brands), it is still one of the only ones that stands out because the ink doesn't skip.The ink is also very dark and looks nice. I kinda wish the pen itself was a bit longer, so it could be more balanced in my hand, but that's personal preference.Overall, I'm very satisfied with these and will probably continue to buy more from this brand next time I need more 0.38 gel pens.
