Jetstream

I absolutely love these Uniball Jetstream pens. They write incredibly smoothly, don’t smudge, and have a satisfying weight that makes them feel high-quality. They also give off a clean, professional look that works well in any setting. I’m a server, and customers often comment, “Oh, you have the fancy pens,” when I hand them their check. My fiancé uses them for his office job and gets the same reactions. They’re clearly noticed and appreciated. I also use these pens for art, especially line work, and they perform beautifully. The ink flow is consistently smooth and reliable, producing clean, even lines that are never too thick or too thin. They don’t skip, blot, or give out, and they genuinely feel like butter whether you’re writing or drawing. They’re a big step up from cheap pens in terms of quality, but only slightly more expensive and absolutely worth it, especially when bought in bulk.

I love these pens. They write easily and smoothly. Have bought them many times

These are some of the best feeling pens I've ever used. The smooth flow, the design and comfort are top notch. I like the professional feel of a capped pen. I'll buy more when they are gone - which will probably be soon... I keep giving these away.

I seriously LOVE these pens. I've been using this exact style and brand of pen for about 10 years. Every single time someone uses my pen to write something, they always want to keep it, commenting on how smooth it is. I bought these to stock up. They are difficult to find in the store anymore. I bought this pack 2 years ago, and I still have several left. I am starting to run low though, I just got a new one out and realized my supply is getting low. I have 4 left, not counting the one I just opened. That means I have used 7 in 27 months. So one pen, used a lot and exclusively, still lasts almost 4 months? That is probably a bit above average for this type of pen, I would think. I write a LOT. These things last a very, very long time. Anytime someone asks me to borrow my pen, I always say, "now you are going to want to keep this pen once you write with it, but you can't", and then I hover until they hand it back to me. I've always been a pen geek, and this pen had me from the first mark. I have tried the retractable version of the same pen. It might just be a mental thing, but it doesn't feel the same way. I guess it goes without saying that I will be buying these again. Best pen ever (at least at this price point)

The jet stream is my favorite pen. I like the large diameter (1.0 mm) Tip. Writing with the pen is a pleasure, nice and smooth. The ink dries quickly and does not smear. I have used the pens since 2002 when I worked at the Pentagon and borrowed one from a General, he had to remind me to leave the pen as it would not leave my hand. His administration assistant gave me one later.

I like these pens. I always carry a pen in my front pants pocket of whatever pants I’m wearing. I’ve done that for many years. Retractable pens that click on and off are terrible because when you sit down, sometimes the pen clicks on and the next thing you know, you have an ink stain on your pants. You have to have a pen with a cap. Getting pens with a cap is getting harder to find. These work great, feels good in your hands, nice crisp point, AND the cap doesn’t come off unless you want it to.

Love them, made the mistake of thinking these were retractable, they’re not but still one of my favorite pens easily.

What can I say. This is the only pen I have been using for the past decades and they consistently proved themselves to be great. I just hope these pens stay as “Made in Japan”. Albeit, I will be watching closely, as soon as production shifts to China or elsewhere, I will be snatching up old stocks.

Super cool writing

I've been using these pens for 10+ years. I love the way they write so much that I have them all over the house, in my bag, my car, etc. I actually rounded up all the other random ballpoint pens in the house and got rid of them so whenever I reach for a pen, it's a jetstream! I buy refills for these when empty (unfortunately, refills are about the same cost as replacing the whole pen). The ink is smooth, the pressure required just right, and the design is good, pleasurable to hold, they support a good flow of ideas. Over the years, a small number of mine have broken in half at the place where the lid snaps onto the pen body. Because of this, I try to avoid snapping the caps on and off unless I need to, in order to help the casing last longer. All in all, not bad for an inexpensive pen.

These pens write near perfectly, but don't last long. They have SXR-C1 cartridges but refilling them with SXR-10s made them far better. I did break two of the pens I had in half from use but this pen runs out of ink way before this happens.

The best ballpoint I have ever used: there is no danger of ink running into a shirt pocket because the cap covers the ball and the ink dries very quickly on paper so there is no smudging. Writing is very smooth and the pen feels comfortable in the hand BUT the ink cartridge capacity is too small. The pen is also too small for people who have very large hands.

Pros: smoother than most pens, allowing very fast writing ("jetstream" is accurate). Slight "cigar" shape, so the hand-feel is like a fancy expensive pen. Looks elegant. Made in a free democracy, Japan. Cons: it has a very bold stream, so there is the occasional blotching, unless you clean it. But if you use bold ball rollers this is expected. Price is very high per unit, for a plastic pen, even a very nice one. One annoyance: the refill cartridge is marked with a model number of its own, but you can't order them separately. This is a shame because the pen opens easily, would be easy to replace. So these nice, pricy pens get wasted once empty. Still, my favorite to use.
