Uni-Ball Impact Gel Pen

Great pen! Writes smoothly and without smudging!

Some folks appreciate a mark that stands out from the rest, and with that, I am very particular about my writing instruments. Nothing beats a 1mm gel pen, and no pen lays it down like the Uniball Impact 207. I prefer retractable, but the capped version performs just as well. The styling of the pen is perfect. I first discovered this product back in 2012 and have been using it since. I can only hope that Uniball sticks with a proven winner rather than trying to fix what isn't broken. They may be more expensive than lesser pens, but they make an impression and are well worth the investment.

Very smooth writing and heavy bold ink deployment. If you want a very bold gel line with smooth flow over the paper, this is the pen for you. The 1.0 bold is actually very bold and thick, it can be a bit smeary on slippery paper but after a few seconds it's fine. The style is also very nice and elevates this pen to look more professional. The body of the pen is a bit thick, however the rubber grip does not catch on things like when being put into a shirt pocket. I use this for my work pen where I need to reference what I write in a dark environment and the bold ink really stands out. The pen looks professional at the same time. I do wish it was slightly less expensive as they run out fairly quickly because of the bold gel ink. But overall I highly recommend these if you need a bold line and a professional looking pen.

If you like bold pens, stop scrolling—these are excellent. The ink goes down dark and smooth with zero skipping, and the 1.0mm tip gives clean, confident lines without feeling sloppy. They write consistently from the first stroke to the last, which is all I really ask of a pen. Grip is comfortable, they don’t feel cheap, and they’re great for notes, signing documents, or anyone who hates faint, scratchy writing. No smudging issues so far, either. Simple verdict: bold, smooth, reliable. These are very, very good pens—and I’ll absolutely buy them again.

I have used these pens since they were introduced and I still love them. I use the 1.0 mm wide tip in vivid blue ink for signatures and the effect is glorious. The ink flows so smoothly that you'll look for an excuse to write something, and it dries to non-smudge viscosity in well less than a minute, which is about as quickly as any gel ink in a wide line could be expected to dry. The retractable design automatically retracts whenever I clip a pen into my shirt pocket, so I never have to worry about an ink stain on my shirt. My most recent shipment was from PLEXSUPPLY, and it arrived on time. The box had obviously been opened and resealed with packing tape. All of the pens inside appeared to be new, and the ink cartridges still had their pop-off rubber tips. However, none of the pens were completely assembled. Weird, but not a problem at all. Every part was inside, and it just took a few seconds to assemble each one. Ah, the mysteries of modern life. Trust me. This is a great pen.
