Hey, I found the pen, but boy oh boy I didn't know it was my lucky day. I am a pen-nista! I love a good,smooth,darn it I know what I was made for pen. They are hard to find. The junk on the pen market is mind boggling, but this baby was made with love. It doesn't waltz like the Fred Astaire of pens (the Parker) but it can Tango head to head. It caresses the paper and is sturdy and long lasting. It is the second best retractable affordable pen on the market along with the lovely "Z-GRIP."

Happy Writing!

The two pens I've used (1 - red & 1 - black) are terrible. The red one skips much worse than the black one. I wanted to use them for everyday use, but the are not good for that type of writing.

Even using them for editing, I find myself wasting more time trying to get ink out of them than I spend on the actual edit. The problem is that these are the pens that my work has purchased for the office & the only way to get rid of them is to use them.

I hope my work realizes that with the extra time spent trying to write with these pens, they aren't saving any $$ at all.

Again, I've only used 2 pens. Hopefully the rest aren't as bad.

            I live in the desert so that's probably why I really hate these pens because they obviously don't stand up to the heat here. I buy products with value and this was a waste of my $. I suppose if you don't live in the desert these may be great compared to other reviewers; however, I will be tossing the bundle that I have today. What a waste of $

                    I am not finding these pens in a 12 pack. I did find item number 651260, which would be our Staples Sonix pen in a 12 pack in black ink. We also have 702558, which is our Staples Revu pen in black ink in a 12 pack as well.

                    I bought the pens in all the colors, red, blue and black. Although, it only came with like 10 red pens, it's not that big of a deal. I'm sure they'll get lost or someone will eventually need a red pen around the office!
