SchneiderSlider Memo XB (Extra Broad) Ballpoint Pen, 1.4 mm, Light Blue Barrel, Red Ink, Box of 10 Pens (150202)

This review is now edited!here is my original review.========The pens arrived ok. I write a lot to a lady in England and she has trouble reading dim light black ink writing. I often write 6 to 10 pages in one letter. I was happy to read the pens are supposed to write a line 2.5 miles long.She loved the darker pen darker writing.HOWEVER!--- On computer printer paper, the pen often skipped part of a word. a whole part of, say, an "h" would not appear. Also, the pen felt like it was writing on sandpaper! there was no smooth writing. If I pressed down harder to make every letter appear, the "sandpaper" feel of the writing would only get much worse! Like writing *on* sandpaper!---I must have written two long letters and then the ink became very faint. I saw that the pen had run out of ink! the pen cartridge is clear so that I could obviously see that the pen had no ink. In only two letters and perhaps a bit of writing here and there, the pen was gone. 2.5 miles? not unless 15 to 25 sheets are made up of 2.5 miles of ink! At this rate, my nine pens left will be gone by spring!--Also. I tried writing on "college" lined paper. a thinner paper than of the computer printer paper. the blue ink showed quite clearly on the backside of the sheet, so much so that I could not write on that side without making a confusing mess! How could she even read that side, like there were two letters superimposed on each other and one letter was in mirror reverse!I must be someone with a two-star review, one of the few. maybe with certain types of paper and "light", short letters, this pen will shine. Not for my needs though!============My updated review. 5 stars!why?When I discovered that this pen ran out of ink, so quickly, I threw it out. Since my meal menu orders should be in an easy to read ink, I went back to the box to get another pen. At least these pens are good for that! the box contained 10 pens, there are 9 left, I removed another pen."WHAT!", I exclaimed to myself! This second pen was a different pen! It matched the image of the pen on the cover of the box. All nine remaining pens are the "correct" pen that I ordered.Somewhere a Mistake was made. I was reviewing the "mistake"! I will not fault the store as I think that my original order was for three pens! Mistakes are often made in packaging. I get a set of plastic "silverware" when my meal comes. Often there is a spoon or fork missing and even sometimes like two spoons! This in a sealed plastic wrapper with a napkin and salt/pepper.So then, later, I wrote another page of my current letter project to my penpal lady in England using this pen.what a difference. The pen writes smoothly, with no paper drag. The color is a bit lighter thus the ink might indeed last the advertised 2.8 miles. No bleed-through to the other side of the paper either. The pen felt good in my hand. I then upped my rating to five stars.freestone

I am a substitute teacher and another teacher had these on her desk. Tried it and LOVED it, so much so that I literally went online and ordered that day. I do a lot of worksheets under document cameras and regular pens tend to not show up well and the flair pens can be seen through some paper when you flip it over to do the other side, especially those workbook pages. I really enjoy the medium point because it makes more pronounced lines and they show nicely on doc cameras. And they are just so smooth to right with. I usually would never spend that kind of money for pens, but these are totally worth it.

These are the only pens I use. Fantastic

So smooth. So many get stolen.

Second time ordering, and maybe the last. first pen out of the second box, only wrote for a few minutes then, out of ink. these pens cost too much to be acting like a bic. Had to come back to add that the second pen, bled out in my pocket and ruined my uniform. So now I’m two pens down from a box of 10

Write so well

I let everyone I know try these pens and only one person has said they're not the greatest pens they've ever used. I have a Mont Blanc and some nice Parker Jotter pens, but NOTHING compares to the comfort and smoothness of the Schneider Slider Memo.

I am a nurse and have to watch other nurses don’t steal it. I love them
