Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm - Black (Set of 2)

This is a very good pen, but it isn't my first choice since I've got several gel pens with 0.3 or smaller tips to choose from. The Signo DX 0.38 writes smoothly, and glides with only the slightest hint of scratchiness over the paper, though not enough to be problematic. The line is consistent and there aren't any significant problems with skipping, jus a tiny amount of starting fade (it still writes, but doesn't reach full density until after a few strokes). The body is solid and comfortable, and it has a nice rubber grip. The cap posts with a snap instead of a friction fit, which is always nice to see. The point is a robust cone instead of a more fragile looking needle point. I usually list pros and cons in my reviews, but this pen's only con is really a personal preference - I like even finer lines than this one has. If the line width meets your preference, this pen is an excellent choice, and while others might equal it, I doubt any would surpass it by any great degree. I really need to try the Signo DX 0.28.

I'm an unofficial collector of pens and always looking for 'the perfect' pen. When I use a pen, I look for one that maintains a steady flow of ink, writes consistently on surfaces, has a finer point, feels comfortable in the hand, and a professional appearance. I have been using the Uni-ball Signo for just over a week and it has become my 'go to pen.' The flow of ink is consistent though on writing surfaces that have a sheen type of coating, I notice the width of the ink line extends a little bit fuller -- almost like a fountain pen. I like the quality of ink as it is a solid and rich color (black). The tip of the pen is very sturdy and does not flex. I am enjoying the pen and even ordered the pack with multi colors which I will be using to color code my calendar and task list.

BEST PENS IN THE WORLD. I will never write with anything else. I am not even a pen fanatic. I always thought a pen was just a pen. My husband actually got for these for himself and gave me one to try, and I ended up using all mine and stole his (He doesn't write as much as I do). Ordered more and the colored set, which also is fantastic. Smooth ink flow, not too heavy, can write on fine paper without bleed through and can write teeny tiny in the margins of books and you are still able to read it clearly without any bleeding or smudging. I can not say enough good things about these pens. They have made me a believer in quality writing instruments.

The Uni-Ball Signo DX UM-151 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm arrived today by Amazon Prime a few business days after ordering. Two pens arrived in one package and both wrote immediately with no shaking or priming needed. The line is very fine but easy to read. One person began drawing with the pen and found the black ink fluid and easy flowing without gaps or dragging. When used for writing, the ink flowed easily and smoothly. The ink is very dark and did not smudge or smear. This gel pen is far better than any pen purchased in a retail store or office supply store in person. I have used Uni-ball pens in the past, but non performed like the Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 - 0.38 mm. If you are seeking a very fine line pen with solid dark ink, I highly recommend the Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 Gel Ink Pen -0.38 mm. I have already given one ink pen away and plan to order more. If your workplace allows the purchase of the pen, I believe the others will notice the difference. I began experiementing with pens when joint pain in the hand became frustrating when using regular store-bought pens that required more pressure to force the ink to flow. The extra grip section was helpful to hold the pen without gripping too tightly. Hand and joint fatigue cause problems for young writers. If your child is allowed to use this pen at school, I recommend it for school. If you find that you like this pen, you may want to order more because if another fine line writer uses it, you may never the the pen again. I am still experimenting with different types of pens. I am impressed to the point, I may stop experimenting and make the Uni-ball Signo DX UM - 151 Gel Ink Pen - 38mm the primary pen for day-to-day use. I have tried cheaper pens which are okay short short uses or if pens are given away or permanently borrowed. For drawing find lines or long periods of writing, I recommend trying this pen. The only negative was that the cap snaps on tightly which means more strength is required to pull off the cap. Most people probably would not notice the difference, but because of joint pain, I do.

I've used the Pilot G-Tec 0.4mm pen for a couple of years now and it's been my most favorite. The Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 0.38mm can easily take it's place however. While they both look very cool, the Signo DX has a rounded shape which makes it a lot more comfortable in the hands. The Pilot G-Tec has a problem where sometimes the ink will not readily come out of the pen and onto the paper and takes several strokes until ink comes out. I've used the Signo DX for 2 days now and I haven't encountered any such problem. Ink comes out very smoothly and consistently. My only complaint is that it can leave excess ink that can get over the paper. This is however because drew dots on the paper. This doesn't occur with the Pilot G-Tec however. This is really good pen. If it weren't for the horrendous shipping problem (bought a pair early October and still haven't received it) I would give this 5/5 stars rather than 4/5.

These pens are really nice! They are able to write smoothly without bleeding or showing through onto the backside of a page!

Excellent quality. The only negative point is that for 0.38mm it scratches a little the paper. Very fast deliver keeping in mind it comes from the other side of the world.

Very nice pen and very fine. Great for detail drawing and small print notebooks. Worth the wait ships from Japan

Ottima penna, l'inchiostro non sbava e puoi scrivere anche con ampia inclinazione. Il peso della penna consente un buon bilanciamento del controllo della scrittura. L'impugnatura è comodissima. Adatta a chi ha la calligrafia minuscola. Se dovessi trovare un difetto è quello che mi pare che l'inchiostro si esaurisce in fretta.

Ho comprato questa penna dopo averne usata una che ho trovato casualmente in ufficio. È la penna ideale per chi, come me, scrive in cinese: i tratti degli ideogrammi risultano nitidi e precisi.

Writes so nicely and smooth! Third time buying more, worth it.
