Pilot G207 Retractable Gel Rollerball 0.7 mm Tip (Box of 12) - Red

Excellent product.Very easy to use and very good colour.

Smooth ink flow can recommend and will buy again

My favourite pens over the past few years have been the PaperMate Flexgrip Ultra Paper Mate Flexgrip Retractable Ball Pen Black - Pack of 5 but the last pack that i bought didn't last very long, and there seemed to be 1" of ink left that was just unusable. They are still my favourite basic ballpoint pen, but the other thing i find with them is that they can make your fingers quite sore, with the ridges on them.So....a few months ago, I decided to try the Pilot G-2 pens. They are gel pens, so don't last as long as a ballpoint, but they are really nice to write with....very smooth, no leaking or gloopy bits on the tip, but the best bit for me is that they don't show through the pages either in my diary or my lovely new Black 'n' Red notebook Oxford Black n' Red A4 Wirebound Hardback NotebookThe only disadvantages are that they really don't last that long, and don't actually appear to have much ink in them even when they are brand new (see photo of the 4 new ones that I've just bought). In the interests of being eco-friendly, you can also buy refills, but I was shocked at the cost of them! The refills cost more than the pens (although the pens I bought were on special offer).

The Pilot G2 pen has been around for a long time, and I've been using them for at least the last 20 years! Throughout that time they have been the best roller ball available, in my view, and great value for money too.Although listed as gel pens the ink is more fluid than most, but it flows a lot better as a result, and feels more like a fountain pen than a biro in use. Be prepared not to touch your writing for a couple of seconds, or it may smudge. Unlike a biro you don't need to apply pressure to the tip, and that makes your writing more elegant and places less strain you your wrist. Your best writing experience is always with a nib pen, using traditional ink - it gives you a flow and lightness like nothing else. The closest I've come to that is with these G2's, and I find them very enjoyable and rewarding to use when the full fountain pen experience is not practical.These days there are lots of colour inks to choose from but I recommend you stick to the stronger solids like black, red, blue, green. The inks are light-fast too, unlike a biro. The pastel shades and the white in particular will not show up so well on paper. Remember that these are inks, so the white will not stand out well on black or dark card. If that's what you want you need a paint pen instead. A lot of the negative reviews here are due to this misunderstanding rather than the pen itself.Finally, and to the credit of Pilot, the barrel of these pens unscrews, allowing you to fit a refill. That's an excellent feature and helps prevent the waste of chucking out an entire pen when only the ink has run out. The less plastic pollution can be achieved the better, and Pilot are to be applauded here.These are excellent pens, and I long ago threw out my old ball-points in favour of them. Highly recommended!

Great product & price

Nice to write with

Used these pens for many years. They last a long time & and produce a consistent & steady flow of ink.

Good quality

The pens are exactly what I was looking for! The pens are NEON and just write smoothly and are very vibrant. Definitely great for notes or journaling!
