Product Details

BIC BU3 Gel-ink Pens - Innovative and Precise

  • Medium point, 0.7mm
  • Black ink
  • Ergonomic cushion grip
  • Convenient side-click retraction
  • Retractable gel ink
  • 12 per pack


BIC BU3 gel-ink pens feature quality inks that allow you to create elegant images and crisp, clear documents. Each pen has a convenient slide-click retraction. This enables you to store the point away and prevent accidental marks.

Water-Resistant
The high-quality inks used in BIC gel-ink pens are water resistant. The water-resistant ink dries quickly and is smear proof once dry.

Precision Work
The medium point on each pen allows you to draw medium to thin lines and create striking script. For even greater writing precision and flow, check out BIC Triumph gel roller-ball pens.

Cushion Grip
BIC gel-ink pens can be used comfortably for long periods of time. A handy cushion grip at the end of each pen enhances precision and allows for greater ease of use.

I've had a great experience with the pens. I was a bit surprised reading other reviewers bad experiences with non-writing pens, so I double checked a few of the other boxed ones thinking I was just lucky to pluck out one that wrote, but the pens I checked worked fine. What's great about the pens is that the tip is capped in a plastic ball to stop them from drying out before you have a chance to use them. The pens have refill capability. To open them just hold down the release button to move it under the plastic barrel while pulling on the top cap. The comfort grip is ok. The clip is stiff and has the potential to break easily. If your stuff doesn't work, take advantage of Staples' return policy. It's pretty flexible.

These pens are awful. They skip and don't write well. A couple of them don't write at all--even though they are brand new! Don't waste your money.

        Pen writes well-but it is NOT refillable and point doesn't come out far enough-VERY disappointed in this.
