Pilot Juice Retractable Premium Gel Ink Roller Ball Pens, Ultra Fine Point,-0.38mm- Black Ink,-value Set of 10

Hi there. These a great set of pens. Don't even think twice. I discovered these pens when I was a medical student and bought it regularly through medical school and residency. We had to write a lot in tight spaces so these pens are 0.35 mm. I had so many people give compliment them and I would give them away and buy more- if you like them so much why don't you just have them. That's how good these are. For the amount of referrals I make this company should give me a set for free. well there is no free lunch and these are worth it.

I will buy these over and over again, hands down. I originally bought a colorful pack of 0.38mm Pilot Juice pens and fell so in love with how small and clean I could get my handwriting that I had to order an entire pack of black for University notes and my bullet journal. It makes writing so much easier to control with my arthritis. Somehow even with a thin barrel, they're comfortable to hold compared to the contour of some other pens that press into my fingers at weird spots. There's a bit of a scratchy feeling, but it's actually a good thing in my opinion. It helps keep my flow steady instead of trailing off, and it doesn't look scratchy at all. The ink almost never skips. I used to use the Uniball Signo pens and got frustrated with how often they skip, and the fact so many in a pack are duds. But so far these have been perfect every time. As with most gel pens, they will smear if you highlight over them, so I lay down the highlight before or give them a long time to dry before trying.My only gripe is how fast you go through the ink. I easily go through a pen every two weeks taking notes for a single class. I'll be looking into refills for next time.

Pros:- write evenly- smooth (for .38 mm)- no bleed-through or pooling of ink- good for note-taking- no skippingCons:- not long-lastingI would say these are similar in writing quality to the Muji .38 mm capped gel pens; those are my other favorites, and I like how you can get refills for those instead of buying a new pen. I don't think you can get refills for these. Sometimes, though, I like click pens (for faster note taking), and these did not disappoint! They're very smooth gel pens; my boyfriend complained they were scratchy, but he mainly uses .5 mm, and those just tend to be smoother. If you like fine pens, however, you'd probably like these. I find the ink on these is very black, very smooth, and really nice to use for writing notes. Great quality pens! Japanese pens just tend to be much nicer than American ones - I would definitely recommend these over the Pilot G2, and those who like thin pens will definitely enjoy these.

This is a great pen. I've used the famous G2 Pilot 0.7mm pens and compared to that, I like this pen much better.This pen does not output so much ink that it smears, but outputs just the right amount of ink that the writing on the paper is nice and black, with great fluidityOne pen lasts for a VERY long time. I started using these pens around early March, and it is July and I'm only on my second pen. I use this pen practically everyday for every subject, because I do not like to use pencils.Compared to the 0.5mm version of this pencil, it is a more scratchy feeling. But it does not mean that it literally scratches up the paper.Also, I really like the grip for this. It isn't too malleable, but sturdy and slip resistant enough and it feels comfortable to use for long periods of note taking.

It’s hard to find a super fine point pen that also writes dark enough. These are perfect! If you write small like I do, to find this combination is worth its weight in gold. Enjoy!

Ink flow is amazing. 0 smudging. Able to be highlighted over.

I love the precise, dark, and crisp lines of these .38 pens. I have been using this brand for about 6 years now and use them for everything.The ink dries quickly and does not smear. The one issue I have found is that if you get any material caught in the pen tip (since it is so small) or write on certain surfaces, the pen will basically stop working effectively. However, apart from that, they work great!

I used one of these pens before and I decided to purchase more for the next semester. They came within the estimated time frame, well packaged. None of the pens I received were damaged in any form. All pens come with a small blue cap, standard for most pens. Overall they work great. Compared to the Muji 0.38 pens, these pens release a bit more ink when writing, but the font size is the same. That being said, they do last for a good amount of time, I have been using the same pen every day for lecture notes for the past two months and there is still more than half of the original ink. The grip on these is smooth and comfortable to use, unlike the Muji pens because of their ridges. I do alternate between the two types, they’re both great. If I let anyone use these pens, I always get asked where I bought them. Will definitely purchase again when I have a low stock. Hope this helps!
