Pilot BX-V7-B Hi-Tecpoint Rollerball Pen, 0.7 mm Tip - Black, Box of 12

As the largest pen manufacturer in Japan, the Pilot Company has been making pens since 1915 (its liquid ink technology having been utilised since 1985), and has made a rather large subsidiary in the UK, with a diverse range of lines aimed at various individuals with specific writing needs. I am a student of humanities and creative writing, as well as a healthcare assistant for a regional agency. Due to the nature of my studies and job, I always make sure that I am carrying a pen on me, and the Pilot Hi-TechPoint has now become my staple writing accessory. I have used other pens on the market, but they don't seem to compete with the sturdiness and ink-flow that the Pilot has to offer. The Pilot company manufactures a lot of pens for specific individuals, but these Hi-TechPoint V7 pens seem to be the variety that fits my daily needs; flowing easily across the page and incorporating a pure black liquid gel ink that is always clearly visible upon putting pen to paper. The MicroBall RollerTip has a 0.77mm diameter that provides a 0.5 mm writing line. In essence, this means, that the rollerball tip is not too small for everyday use, but provides a thin enough line for note-taking and for daily log entries, such as in my personal line of care work. The pen itself looks like the standard variety gel pen that has a hook on the lid, perfect for sitting in your trouser pocket whilst on the go, or for clipping into your portfolio for class. Down the side of the main body, there is a window that indicates the ink level, which is a handy feature for knowing when to change pens so you won't get caught short. There is also a regulator in each pen which makes sure that there is always a consistent flow of ink until the levels have emptied. This ensures that there is very little blobbing or leakage on the page with a natural flow of ink, making it perfect for when a large chunk of information needs to be written down in rather a small space and length of time. That being said, you do need to make sure that the cap has been placed back tightly, and that you don't press too hard onto paper when writing, as I have noticed that staining does sometimes occur when I have simply clipped the pen into my jeans pocket with the nib rubbing against fabric. The Pilot pen requires a smooth glide by the user, which does take some getting used to after using standard rollerball gel pens, as well as the more common biros. Overall, I would highly recommend the Pilot Hi-TechPoint V7 Rollerball pen for both students and professional workers alike, as I have received nothing but compliments from my colleagues and friends who have observed my handwriting upon completing daily logs. They do take some getting used to in terms of gliding pressure, but are by far the more superior writing pen to choose from in my opinion. With a wide variety of options to choose from in terms of colour, composition (fountain pen, marker, gel rollerball, et cetera), as well as nib diameter, the Pilot company offers a range of choices to fit each individual need. N.B. The information and photos attached to this review are for the 12-box black coloured rollerball pens offered by the Pilot company. However, they can also be purchased as a triple and six pack, as well as individually. They do come in a standard labelled box; however, this depends on the seller, and will sometimes either be packaged loosely or in a cellophane envelope.

Great pens.

I always buy these pens when I need more stock. I find them easy to use, they last longer and are my writing stays neat.

Great pens for drawing

As someone that likes a pen that is easy to write with, to the point where writing is satisfying, this did the job. Flow of the ink is just right meaning no bleeding, writing on paper is smooth and a joy. Great value for money and does as it should, I would recommend this for anyone that enjoys writing.

Free-flowing deep black ink. Pens are very light which makes them easy to use.

Comfortable grip and flows on any paper. I am particular about the type of pen I write with and these are a fast flowing comfortable pen. No page bleed through or scruffy looking stains on the notes or page. I haven't used one up yet but the ink flow seems consistent and healthy, making me think its good value for money.

I have purchased these pens on numerous occasions because, these are fantastic for writing, drawing, and using with a ruler without any of the usual mess. These pens don't blot or smudge and that's why they are great all round pens. I have always found these comfortable to use and they last for quite some time. Considering the quality of these pens I think these are really well priced. What has really pleased me with these pens is, they no longer come in those plastic hard to open packets, these now come in a fully recycled package that's sealed but easy to open... well done pilot!!!

Ink can run a bit thin with prolonged use

Voila, ben c'est des stylos rouges. Ils écrivent et ils sont rouges. Blague à part, ils sont très bien et l'écriture est fluide même en écrivant très rapidement.

La penna è ineccepibile, scrivere è praticamente un piacere con essa. L'unico problema è che l'ho acquistata credendo fosse la ricaricabile, ma non lo è... Quindi mi raccomando, fate attenzione al nome dell'articolo
