Hi, I am Aloha Christine--I would like to make a few notes to my original review, from a few years ago. I am hoping this review is seen by Staples and the makers of the Optiflow pen series. (see my original review below) I LOVE this pen still, but have had to find new alternatives when using it in my watercolor paints. I discovered that it was NOT WATERPROOF. How disappointing this was to learn. I had to go and get some permanent pens, which I do not love the flow of, but which serve their purpose. I will attach a watercolor fish to this, so you can see how the black ink smudged with the watercolor paints I did. It was at this time I discovered optiflows non-permanency. Sad. PLEASE make it permanent Staples, so I can swith back to using the pen I really do love---the flow to the optiflow is amazing...but this flaw can't be overlooked. P.S. It would still be great if you don't plan to get it wet, or transfer you work into a digital design for further photoshop-type alteration. Sincerely, Christine (www.thedreamersart.com) or find me on facebook www.facebook.com/thedreamersart (My original review) Comments about Staples® OptiFlow™ Rollerball Pens, Fine Point, Black, Dozen: I'm an artist, and I love this pen. I got it for my husband to teach art to his students, but ended up stealing them all back when his lesson unit was finished. The ink runs beautifully. I thought I'd have prefered extra-fine point, but was really amazed at how great this one works. I also like to write with it in general. I don't know what the person was talking about the pen caps breaking. Seem fine to me. though I didn't store mine in a pocket on my shirt.

You sell this product with a picture of a uncapped pen, that in the picture looks like a button operated pen, which is what I was looking for.
Plus, this ink stays wet for awhile. So, don't use when signing credit slips. And if used for writing a letter don't run your hand over it, it will smear!!

    Comments about Staples® OptiFlow™ Rollerball Pens, Fine Point, Black, Dozen:

    These pens never fail! I can depend on them to write every time. I use them on a daily bases in the office for signatures and note taking. Also at board meetings and association meetings. When someone borrows a pen they never complain about it not writing. I would and will recommend this product to anyone who asks about it. I hope you never decide to discontinue it, because I would not know where to look for a similar pen. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to give my opinion! Laurie

        With the many papers (archival printing & regular office) this pen does all the jobs. It does not smear on the archival papers and has an even inkflow that only needs a light touch.

            Unfortunately sku 486573 is not refillable and there are no universal refills that will fit this pen and we do not carry many refillable rollerball pens.
