BIC Glide Bold Retractable Ball Point Pen, Bold Point (1.6mm), Black, Great For Everyday Use, 4-Count

Love these pens! They hide and they are effortless! Pen quality is too much, great functionality, increased my writing speed so I don't have to worry about pressing hard.I'm a social worker so I'm all about my pens! I approve this pen! 😄

Excellent bold ink pen. I fax a lot of documents that are hand written, and the bold dark color faxes clearly.

I love a BOLD pen, but do not like gel pens. These are amazing! They are comfortable to write with, the ink flow is steady, and they hold up well!

this cheaper pen outperformed all the more expensive pens. the ink is smooth and doesn't skip. it doesn't smudgeand has a good grip.

I write a LOT, and am a list maker: notes, studies, descriptions, thoughts, shopping lists, letters, you name it. Through the years I've had a few favorite pens, but when I stumbled upon these - as well as the same type in blue ink - that was it! I fell in love with using these pens, I have one in nearly every room of the house now. The ink is dark, bold (as the name/description states), and extremely smooth to write with. I've ordered these pens numerous times, and will continue to do so. I have also purchased them in red and green.But I had to subtract one star for the following reasons:After writing a few lines, or a page worth of things, the tip of the pen gets 'gloopy.' I've taken to keeping a tissue or napkin close by to wipe off the tip as needed. The ink actually seeped out of the tips of the red and green pens I purchased, which actually clogged the end of the pen where the tip retracts into.The amount of ink has markedly decreased over the years. When I first started using these pens, the ink seemed to last forever; no more. I go through them much faster than before, which leads me to....There are NO REFILLS available for these pens, which means I end up throwing out a perfectly good pen with a still perfectly-good casing, which is very disturbing from a recycling POV. Because...that's just how things are made, nowadays, right, Bic? Such a waste and terrible for the environment!!!Bic also can't figure out what to call these pens; through the years, they've been known as Velocity, or Atlantis, or (now) Glide/Glisse. I wish Bic could make up their mind about this.While I enjoy using these pens, and will continue to purchase them as long as Bic makes them, Bic would really do themselves a favor by listening to their users, and fixing these particular product issues.

GOOD BLACK AND EASIER FOR ME TO SEE WHEN I WRITE. I HAVE SOME LOW VISION ISSUES.

Great price point pen, writes smooth, non smearing. Blue ink ones are great too.
