good ink pens

[Betty_SPN_KS]

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.

I like Zebra 301 retractable ball-points, which I buy in 10-packs for a little under ten bucks. I like the Zebra 401 even better, because it has a slightly thicker barrel, but I haven't found them as cheap. I usually carry a 401, but also a couple of 301s in case someone needs to borrow one.

The Pentel (I think) Client is a really nice pen--perfect size and weight for my taste--but not durable enough for a nursing environment. The Zebras are stainless steel.

I am very excited to be a part of a community that finds this an interesting topic for discussion. I think I'm up past my bedtime.

i "borrow" the ones that the drug reps leave. those are the best.

Another vote for Papermate Xtend pens. Absolute best, smoothest writing, comfortable pen there is.

I love this! I am a pen freak! I probably buy 10 pens a week, and I have to agree.....velocity.

I use Avery's Triple Click. It's a black ball point, pencil & stylus in one. I love having to carry around just one instrument!

I like the Zebra F-301. They write well and have a nice fine tip, which is good because I write really small.

I have used the same pen since I was pregnant with my youngest daughter and she turns 13 tomorrow. It is a Zebra, but not one of the silver ones. I like those too, but this one is black, retractable and uses Zebra refills. It may be a F-301, but the lettering on the barrell is long gone. It is the best pen in the world. No one where I work will touch my pen, and if they do, the minute I start to say something, they will say "yeah yeah, I know....this is your favorite pen, you've had it for over 10 years."

actually, I do use other pens and my next favorite is Pentel RSVP.

pilot refillable Dr. Grip, and of course all the free rep pens.

I like the Rose transparent wild colors , take the end off and insert a paper with my name on it. BUT I have had pen-takers holding MY pen saying they won't give it back! MY name in it!!!!
