Rollerball Pens of 2021
Some things to rate next time:<p>1. &quot;smudge factor&quot; - does this ink dry quickly?
2. &quot;dropped pen on point from distance&quot; - is the pen resilient when dropped on&#x2F;close its point?
3. &quot;consistency factor over time&quot;- does the pen deliver flow throughout its lifetime?<p>For #1, the experience is immediately soured if the pen is lifted onto my hand seconds after writing. Some brands have this problem - and it sucks. Ex: if writing quickly in a pocket moleskine, close it, and then open to find lifting on the other page.<p>For #2, most pens dropped on their head distorts the roller ball action. I&#x27;ve lost a few pens to this problem.<p>#3 some pens I&#x27;ve had in this list will not last the whole way through - either the ball rolls too much ink, or jams over the lifetime, rendering the remaining experience less than ideal.<p>I&#x27;ve been journaling for a few years, daily, and always carried a roller pen of various brands. My go to continues to be the uniball vision, which is good, but still is subjected to all above.
