uni-ball UB-188-L Air Rollerball Pens. Premium 0.7mm Medium Nib for Super Smooth Handwriting. Writes Like a Fountain Pen. Fade and Water Resistant Liquid Uni Super Ink. Box of 12 Black Ballpoint Pens

A nice pen to write with. Had no issues with using these pens. Going to be ordering more soon.

I've been searching for the ideal pen for a little while - it should easily flow with cursive/joined-up handwriting, yet not be too thick or thin. This is perfect: it writes easily and it's very easy to be neat. As a teacher, I can use this pen in an exercise book and it shows up really clearly under the visualiser. I'll keep buying and using these pens for a long time.

♦ Uni-ball AIR♦ ROLLER BALL PEN♦ 0.7 mm/BROAD: 0.35 ~ 0.55 mm (approx.)♦ MADE in JAPAN♦ 12 PENS ~ All the same colour : BLACK INKThe smooth-barrelled pens come presented in a cardboard box measuring around 14 cm x 8 cm x 2.5 cm and in a strong outer carton for safe transit.Each pen is around 14 cm long with the cap on/13 cm without.Gradually widening slightly, the barrel colour is gently shaded from a WHITE at the bottom through to a pale SILVER-GREY in the middle, with a black stripe effect and 'uni-ball AIR/JAPAN’ embossed twice in BLACK lettering.The top half of the pen is BLACK with GREY flashing narrowing towards the tip.The transparent cap pulls off and can clip onto the bottom of the pen for safekeeping, if required; the sturdy shirt clip stopping it from rolling around too much.The cap has a removable sticky label with the bar code along with the following detail:✩ UBA-188-L ~ BROAD ~ BLACK✩ MADE IN JAPAN✩ MITSUBISHI PENCIL CO., LTDIf removed there is no irritating sticky residue that some labels can leave behind.When finished using, the cap requires clicking firmly back into place.In use, the pens do exactly as it says on the pack:★ Revolutionary Air-tip technology for Scratch Free Writing★ UNI SUPER INK™★ UNI-FLOW SYSTEM★ PIGMENT INK WATERPROOFThe ink flows well at any angle without interruption and the pen seems to adjust to your style of handwriting once you have used it a while, in my experience. The more pressure you put on the tip the thicker the result.On the slightly negative side, I have experienced a bit of smudging in my haste and if lingering over, e.g. a full stop on lesser quality paper, I have found will bleed through to the other side.Overall, the ink does not seem to last that long and it is necessary to unscrew the barrel to see how much ink is left.To be on the safe side, I carry more than one pen on my travels when BLACK ink is the order of the day.Other ink colours currently available include:BLUE or mix it up with a handy pack of BLUE/RED/BLACKAlso available is the narrower MICRO, which I prefer overall, and a boxed dozen of them is on a great discount offer (at the time of writing).ooOooManufacturer Detail:‘Write smoothly at any angle with the uni-ball AIR rollerball pen.Uni-ball AIR delivers a fluid writing experience with a bold ink lay down.The pen is elegantly designed with a sleek tip and a clean, elevated style:• The revolutionary nib of the Air, unlike conventional rollerballs, is pressure sensitive, meaning that it gives a writing experience and differentiating line width similar to that of a fountain pen.• The metal ball of the nib is encased in an acetal plastic, rather than the standard metal surround, which allows for a smoother flow of ink around the ball, and an increased flow as further pressure is applied.• The 0.7mm ball delivers a line width of between 0.35mm and 0.55mm (dependent on pressure).• Features Uni's high quality "Super Ink", which is not only water and light resistant, but also "Tamper-Resistant", meaning that the ink cannot be washed off using chemicals and solutions used by people to fraudulently modify documents.’

I subscribe to have these pens delivered every 3 months.Both my children use these pens for school and absolutely love them and won’t use anything else.On there recommendation I too also use these pens now for work. Write really smooth and no complaints whatsoever. I’m also left handed and have no issues with smudging when my hand goes over the written words.I guess the only con I can raise they do run out quick when say a bic pen. But due to the reasons above will keep on purchasing.

The media could not be loaded. With arthritis in my hands and fingers, I tend to use pens that will accommodate my condition. I was interested in the Uni-ball UB-188-L Air Rollerball 0.7 mm Pens which claims to be ‘comfortable and easy to grip’, with revolutionary Air-tip technology for ‘Scratch Free Writing’. This sounded like the perfect pen for me, so I decided to give it a try.The pen is very lightweight, yet well-balanced. When I removed the cap, I discovered one of the most awesome anatomy of any roller ball pen I have used! I especially prefer using rollerball pens as less pressure is required for writing. The Uni-ball Air is extremely easy to hold with the minimum grip necessary – I experienced no slipping. The pen was reminiscent of using a premium fountain pen – effortless, smooth, pure joy!The pack of 12 Uni-ball UB-188-L Air Rollerball Pens is highly recommended.

I absolutely love these pens. I do not use anyone other since I discovered them. Unfortunately they are getting ridiculously expensive…

Such an great pen. I love how smoothly it slides over even rough recycled paper. Its great how the thickness of the line can be varied by how hard the pen is pressed to the page. I feel it produces the greatest readability with the least amount of effort put in to attempting to write neatly, so great for quickly scribbling down notes. It is a rather premium single use pen, but is cheap enough that I'm not took sad if one gets lost at work.

Nice pens to write with. They last well despite leaving a good amount of ink on the page.
