I love the very fine point. I work in an office where I use multiple forms that must be filled out by hand. They give little space to write in them. Having a pen with a very fine point that will not smear is absolutely wonderful. I wanted to get them in black as well but the black ones cost more, enough more that I wasn't willing to pay the difference. I have not had a problem with inkflow or skipping and it dries quickly.

Here’s why it stands out: Effortless Writing: The fine point glides smoothly across paper with consistent, bold black lines—no skips, blobs, or smudges, just clean, reliable ink every time. Comfortable Grip: I love the soft-touch grip—it feels natural in hand and prevents fatigue during long writing sessions. Clip & Retract Design: The sturdy clip attaches securely to notebooks, pockets, or planners, and the retractable tip ensures mess-free storage and convenience on the go. Refillable & Long-Lasting: Knowing that each pen is refillable makes me feel good about reducing waste. Plus, they’re built to last without feeling bulky or heavy. Great Value in Quantity: A pack of 12 ensures I always have one handy at home, work, or in my bag—perfect for students, professionals, or anyone in need of dependable pens.

They are extremely fine-point pens which allow you to write in very small print without blotches. I’ve used these pens in my Bible study for many years and they do not blotch nor do they bleed through even the thinnest pages and because of the very fine point, I can cram a lot of notes in my margins. I won’t write in my Bible with any other pen because I’ve had disaster blotching and bleed-throughs with other pens. This is my go-to pen. Also, I have a left-handed relative who loves these pens because the ink doesn’t smear as happens with many pens, especially with left-handed writing. If you’re looking for a very fine point pen that doesn’t blotch, smear, or bleed through, you’ll love this pen and it comes in a variety of colors. **Q: Will this pen smear on a slick surface, like say a calendar or a receipt?** A: I have never had any problems with this pen smearing on anything but bear in mind the paper in all calendars and receipts are not created equal so what applies to one may not apply to another. I would say you are safe though. For the price of one pen you can't go wrong with trying it before buying a larger quantity if you are skeptical. I love this pen because it writes smooth and it fits my hand and it doesn't cause my hand to cramp and long use. **Q: whats the difference, advantage of this over the oldie but goodie EasyTouch retractable please?** A: Thinner. Fits in my pocket better. Ergonomically, the "easy touch" has a padded barrel at the finger grip where the "better" is hard plastic the entire length. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine point, fine pen *by P***E on May 7, 2026* I purchased these pens after using the one that belongs to my boss.

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best pen ever! *by Z***2 on September 15, 2025* I always buy these pens since I was in high school. I forgot about these but during my decluttering process, I was so happy to see my untouched box of these pens. I thought I used it all up but I guess I hid my last box somewhere. I guess it’s not too late for my review since I bought boxes of these multiple times here on amazon. I am a nurse and I always need a pen. This is the perfect ballpoint pen for me. Writes smoothly, simple design, consistent pen mark and does not mess my uniform unlike other pens that I ended up having ink marks on my chest pocket. It dries quickly and does not leak. I highly recommend these! ## Frequently Bought Together - PILOT Pen 30000 The Better Ball Point Pen Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack - Pilot Better Retractable Ballpoint Pen , Blue Fine Point, 12-Count (30001) - Sharpie Permanent Markers Set Quick Drying And Fade Resistant Fine Point Marker For Wood Plastic Paper Metal And More Drawing Coloring And Poster Marker Black 12 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1406752-the-better-ball-point-pen-refillable-and-retractable-ballpoint-pens](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1406752-the-better-ball-point-pen-refillable-and-retractable-ballpoint-pens) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
