I have been using my Cross ink pen or a plain ol BIC pen for the last two years, all I do at work is jot down orders all day and I go through a fair amount of pens. I have tried other brands, but none have been as consistent in writing till the ink is gone as the cross gel rollerball. I recently bought two four packs of the uniball “signo” 207 0.7mm and have had problems with it skipping constantly after a day or two of use. I will have to try out the Uniball Vision because I need a pen that dries quickly so I end up with less ink on my forearms at the end of the day.
