About uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pens
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
77% liked the waterproof ink
The pens are amazingly waterproof and the ink stays vivid until the heat death of the solar system.
The ink is waterproof after it dries and doesn't smudge with water or highlighter.
77% liked the durable tip, while 23% found it wore down
The tip of my pen is very fine and it does not bleed after writing. I need to buy another box or two.
The tip of the pens is pointed and it scrapes at the paper while writing.
78% praised the smudge-resistant ink, yet 22% didn't
If you write on a non-absorbent surface like the back of photographs, the ink smudges.
The pen writes well on loose leaf paper but smudges on glossy surfaces.
79% appreciated the easy refilling process
The Pentel Energel and TUL gel refills fit perfectly with my pen.
79% praised the ink quality, but 21% found it prone to smudging
In the red ink version, the ink flow and line weight are weaker compared to the black ink version.
83% praised the comfortable grip, but 17% found it slippery
The pens are comfortable to hold and last a long time.
The grip is relatively comfortable, but there is a flat space that needs to be held a certain way. If not held that way, it can be a little uncomfortable, but not enough to avoid using it.
My writing experience is uncomfortable because the grips of the pen are odd and bigger than the body of the pen.
74% appreciated the quick drying time, but 26% found it dried slowly
I constantly have to rewrite things because the pen keeps drying up on me mid-word.
With nearly a full supply of ink, my pen stopped writing altogether. This indicates that the drying time of the ink is insufficient.
With nearly a full supply of ink, my pen stopped writing altogether. the drying time of the ink is insufficient.
76% liked the wide range of colors, but 24% didn't
The purple color is a little darker than expected, but it provides a nice contrast from the usual black and blue colors.
I am a fan of the purple/violet color and find it pleasant for note taking.
I bought the purple color because it stands out.
I have been using purple ink for more than 15 years but it is hard to find quality pens in that color. I am not happy with the limited color options.
