Rybond R1 - Rollerball Roller Gel [12 Pack] Writing Pen Ergonomic Clear Barrel 1.0 mm Tip 0.5 mm Fine Line Black

A good size pack of pens, these also feel well manufactured and unlikely to break through normal use.The pens have received a lot of use from myself and a number of guests at my wedding, for which these were bought. With other gel pens I have used in the past the ink has dried faster, and that is my only reason for giving 4 stars as the slow drying speed did cause some small issues when writing a lot and led to smudging and smearing of the ink.Will not write well on a laminated surface.

These are good value for money but I found the ink patchy, they just dry up. It's random, some are ok and others just won't work, even after a lot of scribbling. A shame, because they were very good value for money, but at the end of the day, I can ask my husband to stop off at the supermarket and get a couple of packs that work for even less money. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I'd advise the retailer to have a stiff word with their supplier.

Original review below. I've increased the score a little. At least every three or so pens work quite well. When they work, they are nice pens, though a little prone to either cutting out or smearing. However, I wanted to review my review to reflect my final opinion. Still not the best, ans certainly, not one I think I would go for again...Hmmm. Well, I must have a bad batch or something, because my experience is very different from everyone else's. Poor ink flow blights every pen; constant ink cut outs, scratchy, dragging flow and an overall sense of cheapness. Not impressed.

Bought these in September and my last ones just ran out! It's great that there's loads of them as if you write constantly, one pen can be used up quite quickly, but despite this the ink looks great and very neat. The only thing is they can smudge, but if you write carefully and not to fast it'll be fine!

Gives a nice fine line, maybe a little on the scratchy side. Good value for money.

I like these pens, although they DON'T last long. The ink does seem to go quickly, but then again, you can buy so many and its really cheap(Price). The lids break extremely easy, also note that because its gel ink, it will smudge, so let is dry a bit.

Work alright and the gel is nice too. Obvious downsides: they smudge, ballpoint is a bit scratchy and sometimes the gel doesn't want to come out (rarely but every so often). But for the price this is actually a pretty good deal!

Didn't like these at all, they are scratchy and I find they run out quickly.
