Pentel R.S.V.P
With as many loyal followers that this specific pen have I expected a much better writing experience. To those of you who truly like this pen I apologize, but I will not use this pen nor recommend it to anyone ever again.
I will go ahead and start on a positive note. This is a decent looking pen and it very comfortable to hold and write with. The ink does transfer to the paper very smoothly. There are numerous different colors and "spin-off" styles of this pen as well. Retractable and miniature versions are available as well. They are economical at about $5.50 per 5 pack, and the ink does last a long time. I have had this one for about a year now, and used to use it at work daily for around 6 months.
I an truly surprised however at the number of people who love this pen. Hopefully in the pictures below you will be able to see the reason that I have to give this pen such a harsh review. On almost every line that I wrote with this pen I would have clumps of ink stick to the page. There is nothing more unprofessional looking than blotches and clumps inside of what you were writing. Maybe I am just too picky about the quality of the documents that I write and the presentation of the paper... But even the low cost, smoothness of writing, and comfort of holding this pen can not overcome the ugly appearance that is left with the clumps of ink.
