This is kind of a silly question. Does anyone have suggestions on a good, smooth writing, fine tip, retractable pen? I like the Pentel fine line pens, but none are retractable. Although I have some pens that are retractable, they are 0.7 to 1.0 lines (hardly fine). The clinics paperwork is loaded with spaces to small for my name, let alone family hx. It doesn't help that my writing is near illegible if I write too small. Any suggestions???

I really like the Scripto ink pens. They write smoothly, last a long time without running out of ink, and are very inexpensive. I purchased one dozen for $0.99 and it was a good investment.

I use one called "Zebra". My hubby gets them for me at work. I have seen some similar to them in the stores, but with a different name. I LOVE them!! They write so fine and smooth, and it seems like they never run out of ink. They are all silver, with a black grip where your fingers go. I wouldn't use anything else.

The Zebra stainless steel pens are my favorite plus they are very fine point. Plus as an extra bonus you can disinfect them with an etoh wipe without drying them out. You can buy them at wal-mart or k-mart but they are a little more expense then your typical pen.
