These comments apply ONLY to the FINE (Pilot G-2 07). The Medium releases too much ink to dry in a reasonable time, and the Extra fine doesn't write as quickly or clearly.
I am a teacher - almost everything I write needs to be FAST, INDELIBLE and REPRODUCIBLE. I have NO patience for ink that won't flow IMMEDIATELY, for skips, or for having to rewrite because my writing can't be photocopied! Can you imagine any student waiting patiently for more than 2 seconds while the teacher writes? Don't think so Homey! I have no time for anything but the best. So far, this is it.
It does take a few seconds for the ink to dry, so you learn how to keep from smearing. But besides that, this pen is the loveliest, smoothest, fastest, clearest, writing instrument I have ever used! The ink barrel lasts so long, it's a shock when it's gone and NEVER skips till then.
I use Black and Blue, but GREEN is my favorite. It is less intimidating than RED on student work - I don't want to discourage, just to correct. Green has become my signature color and provides pleasant visual relief. Best of all, THIS GREEN REPRODUCES AS CLEARLY AND SOLIDLY AS BLACK OR BLUE! I couldn't believe my eyes.

There is just something with these pens that doesn't work right. All other colors are fine 99% of the time, but the green ones just don't measure up. I have yet to use all the ink in one because they just suddenly stop writing. We have had several boxes and I would say as many as 1/3 quit within the first 1/10th of the ink. This last box had 4 that quit within 2 minutes of use.

Comments about Pilot® G-2 Retractable Gel-Ink Pens, Fine Point, Green, Dozen:
This is my chosen color to specifically identify my work when more than one person can be adding notations. After trying 3 other brands/types, I found this one - the ink runs smooth, the grip is comfortable and the notes look good. I have finally "used" a full box of pens without being disappointed. Getting ready to order 2 dozen more. You will not be disappointed.

Comments about Pilot® G-2 Retractable Gel-Ink Pens, Fine Point, Green, Dozen:
I use these pens all day every day, and they work great. I mainly use the black in Fine and Extra Fine. Green is used for my notes so I can tell the difference between my notes and homework. Fabulous product do not stop making/selling.
Comments about Pilot® G-2 Retractable Gel-Ink Pens, Fine Point, Green, Dozen:
I work for a start-up company and we are always looking for ways to save a dime. These pens are good for the money but, even though they can be refilled, I am unable to find green refills. Go figure.
