Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

I'm picky about pens, but this one definitely passed the test. I was never disappointed using it until. What a relief to find this pen.

It glides across the paper with ease. It writes effortlessly, smooth and steady, without any smudges. It is cushioned and very easy to write with.

The refills can be bought inexpensively. You have to push out the spring (save it for later) and use the zebra long skinny spring with it's refill.

Grip pens reduce the amount of pressure and muscle strength needed for writing. It helps to make handwriting more comfortable. It is still a good pen and i am glad i purchased it with 2 refill ink cartridges.

Cons

This pen has such promise, but i'm experiencing intolerable ink flow problems. It starts out with dark ink, then quickly fades to faded ink, and then runs out of ink. But the ink filler is horrible.

The metal surrounding the tip on this pen is so long, it's awkward feeling. Tossed it in the trash after 5 minutes.

I have gone through probably 10 ink refills (which are affordable) since i bought this pen.

Packaging/appearance

I got blue ink which is okay, but really meant to order black.
