good ink pens

What brand of ink pen do you use? I used to really like papermate. But lately their quality has gone downhill. I've thrown away some recently because they leak ink. That used to happen only if I carried them in my pants pocket where they got too warm. Now it's happening if I carry them in my smock pocket or maybe even on the tx cart. Black ink is used where I work.

Re: good ink pens

Well, I "cheat"... my husband makes wooden and acrylic pens with Cross refills... very nice to write with and very easy to identify MY pen. My papermates used to get walked away with all the time because people didn't think about them not being theirs..... but people realize this is not their normal pen, and it stays put.

Re: good ink pens

I love Rose Art's X500 ballpoint. Writes smooth, lasts, and has the rubberized grip.

Re: good ink pens

I like Uni-Ball Signo. But I am not picky. I'll take the free pens, too! I just like them to write smoothly. I love it when the reps bring in the free pens!!

My favorite is the Pilot EasyTouch retractable, doesn't skip, has a clear barrel so you can see the ink level. I buy mine from an office supply store 12 to a pack. Has the rubber grip also.

Anythign retractable and smooth writing. I've always been a pilot fan although I do use papermate click pen. It has a very comfortable jelly grip body. I hope they make point a little more fine, though.

Bic (i think) Velocity. Getting harder to find but they have a multi-pack you can buy with black ink and colored barrels (so I can identify my pen)

Re: good ink pens

Dollar General sells some pens that are 5/$1.00. They are quite inexpensive, but write great!

Drug reps have great pens! I have bags and bags of these bright purple Zyprexa pens, and they are great quality. Easy to locate if they stroll off, too.
