loved this post!! you have awesome handwriting! i envy how readable yet funky it is : ) ok, off to hunt down a pilot precise v5 in pink…the pink bic i got yesterday is too light to see on the page : (
Is the BIC pen a ballpoint? I find ballpoints often run light. Also, for some reason oranges and pinks are often neon and burn my retinas. If you’d like me to do a PINK PEN comparison of inks, just let me know :)
it is allegedly a “gel ink”, so i was assuming rollerball? yes, yes, yes…pink ink comparison pleeeeze!!
ps i just ordered some pilot hi tec c’s in different colors from jetpens. an apricot orange, an apple green and a pure pink. oh, and a cool pencil case that is bright orange : )
I saw the funniest picture. Someone put a plastic container over a big spider and taped it to the wall. The sticky note attached said something funny about “I contained it, you deal with it” lol
It is a rollerball. The liquid ink and tip system work very well together. The only time I’ve ever experienced issues with performance happened when I had little to no ink left in the visible supply.
They are not refillable but they do last a good long while. I still have a few left from college and that was 10+ years ago. All are still in working order without issues. ^_^
Pilot Precise V5 are my ALL TIME FAVORITE PENS EVER!! Seriously. I can’t get enough of them. Problem is, I use them so much they quickly run out! For some reason the purple is my favorite so it runs out way before the others LOL!

Wow, the Pilot Precise V5 has such a nice thick line! Is it one of those felt-tipped pens?

Probably not refillable though, huh? Looks pretty good though :)

Too bad they aren’t refillable. I swap my daily pens around so often, I don’t often run through one quickly x_x
