Dong-AFine-Tech Excellent Writing, 0.3 mm, Gel Ink Roller Ball Pens, Black (Pack of 12)

These pens are very dependable, I know they will write every time I use one. I actually use these pens till they run out of ink ! I have both blue and black and have rebought them several times. Great price also. I often give them away while at a place that I’m writing or filling out paperwork. People are impressed with how thin and neat they write. I’ve given them to several doctors. The picture shows how I use them till the ink is COMPLETELY gone. This one still writes great. But it shows that I need to order more.

Love the fine points that allow me to write with precision. They are comfortable to hold and the ink flows smoothly, most of the time. Sometimes the ink seems to just run out, I'm not sure what causes it and if I just keep writing or using the pen the ink will eventually start flowing again.

It's not the most comfortable or nice-looking, but it's the smoothest 0.38mm gel pen I've written with to date. I've tried about 5 others (including Muji), and they all skipped every so often or more than every so often. I have yet to experience any skips in ink with these pens. If I compare it with other gel pens I've tried in general (20+ brands), it is still one of the only ones that stands out because the ink doesn't skip.The ink is also very dark and looks nice. I kinda wish the pen itself was a bit longer, so it could be more balanced in my hand, but that's personal preference.Overall, I'm very satisfied with these and will probably continue to buy more from this brand next time I need more 0.38 gel pens.

This is one of the brands I always go for. They are pretty good quality and affordable price. It almost doesn’t bleed, it needs a bit of time to dry though. I’m using them for my bullet journaling and they are perfect!

It's a nice pen if you like to write extra fine. The only thing is that you must keep the cap on or else it'll dry out. Also wish it came in a thick version.

The color selection is really nice. I originally found this brand of pens when I visited S. Korea in 2011. I bought 5 of the red pens (they were sold individually in a stationery store) and was devastated when I finally ran out of ink after returning to the US. I couldn't find these in any of the many Asian or stationery stores in my area and after visiting all the stores I could, I kind of gave up looking for them. I found one of my empty pens and was suddenly hit with a nostalgia for the smooth writing pen and decided to look it up here on Amazon.My only issue is that every time you uncap some of these, there's a solid minute of needing to scribble on scrap paper before the ink starts flowing smoothly again. I find that once you get the ink flowing, it doesn't peter out, but after you first uncap it, it dies very quickly. Have scrap paper nearby and don't start right on your work if you want it to look nice. Get the ink flowing properly before beginning to write on the surface of choice.

So, I'm conflicted. I ordered the 12pk of these pens in black ink and I received a 10pk of the assorted colors, which is a totally different listing (ordered from Amazon Warehouse which might have something to do with it.) However, I decided to try them out and I LOVE them. The ink is smooth and flows nicely, they're not scratchy (especially compared to my beloved Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.3) and the colors are vibrant and great for color coding my planner and notes for school. So on the one hand, I received the wrong item, but on the other hand, I like these pens so much that I decided to keep the colored ones and order another 12pk of black. Regardless, these pens are worth the 5 stars. Crossing my fingers that I get the right ones this time!

After writing one sentence the pen would no longer have ink!The black pens work well but not in this beautiful purple color.I wish I can still return these crappy pens!
