Aen Art Gel Pens, 30 Pack Black Gel Pen Fine Point, Retractable Gel Ink Rollerball Pens for Smooth Writing (0.7mm) Back to School Supplies

These are the cheapest and best-quality pens in bulk. I wouldn't say it if it weren't true. They last thoughout their ink lives with near-to-no issues with spring, retraction, etc., and are gel. Perfect for office use/endless paperwork.

The best pens at the best price period. I have orded these like 2 to 3 times now and ill order again.

Good thing that they write BEAUTIFULLY and that they're reasonably priced. They do not have a lot of ink in them but the price reflects that. Still, they scroll across that paper in a fluid manner.

Our company was purchasing the G2 gel pens and wanted to test out a few alternatives for cost savings. I purchased a pack of these as a test, handing out a half dozen across different departments across the shop. The review below is what I've received from various users in our shop: Pros: - Writes well, similar to the G2 pens. They are smooth. - They came with caps over the pen tips to keep them from leaking in the box. - Better smudge resistance than the G2. It seems to dry a bit faster - Color is very similar to the G2 - Cost of these pens is vastly cheaper than the G2 Cons: - Not as much ink as the G2, as seen in the photo - Rubber finger gripping pad slips off easily - I could only find these bulk in Black. We also use blue and red quite often. Conclusion: So far, the employees that use these type pens are happy with them. The primary complaint has been the gripping pad slipping off easily. They have not complained about any pens leaking or any not writing. One employee mentioned he liked the ink in these better because it didn't smudge as bad as the G2. These will be added to the "BUY" list for future purchases.

Good price and ink very easy. Does not have as much as I would like but what is there runs easily. Left handed and no blurring of ink, as sometimes happens with other pens. Would buy again. Use constantly.

Great product. I just didn't appreciate it being packed with another item I purchased that day. I actually thought this was missing. Come to find out, both items, which was purchased separately were in the same package.

Like the headline says, they're cheap, and they're gel pens. That's about all you can say for them. This is a great kind of pen that you'd give to someone that isn't your enemy, but also not a good friend. Co-workers perhaps? That said, there is one thing working against this pen - the fact that it's a gel pen. (Cheap pens aren't always terrible!) The build quality, while average (leaning cheap), is good enough to feel really good - honestly, if the issues I'm about to explain were fixed, this would be an easy 5/5 but I can't do it. As for the bad... A pen needs to write. Sometimes, it'll contribute to drawing. Primarily, however, it's a writing implement. If it doesn't do that well, it's not really successful. Unfortunately, these pens work about 40% of the time when writing letters on a paper (on various types, from super-smooth printer paper, to photo paper, to rougher sketchbook/drawing paper). It definitely works like 95% of the time when scribbling on the paper to encourage ink flow, but by that point there's more scribbles on the paper than actual notes. The fact that they are gel pens while also being cheap is the biggest issue. Gel pens like to skip when the user changes direction often. Nicer gel pens aren't bad with this, but cheaper ones often experience this. Sure, the pen writes smooth and glides well in long strokes going in one direction, but the Latin (or Roman) alphabet contains multiple short strokes that often change direction. This essentially destroys the purpose of normal writing with these pens. Are they alright for art? Sometimes. When not making clean line art, I actually like pens, pencils, and even brushes that are imperfect. It makes it easier to portray more organic designs - when needed, though that's not needed all the time, and is an exception. In conclusion, these aren't great pens, and unless you're going to use them unconventionally in art, they are not worth it. Pilots and BICs are way more reliable and provide far better value.

Great pens for a great price . I do word find puzzles all day long and these pens last me for six months
