Good and Bad Ballpens

**drey** · February 9th, 2008 08:56 AM

Hello Guys,

Based sa mga experiences nyo in buying ball pen brands, ano ang pinaka sulit? I have tried many brands pero ayaw sumulat, hindi ko pa nawawala, wala nang use.

Panda - used to be good before...
Mitsubishi - still not that good.
Pilot - still not good.
Stabilo - not really good, after 2 weeks of mild use - useless.

I am using Zebra right now, so far, it's good. I think nasa cost-cutting to ng mga brands, ever since the peso value came down, the quality of ball pens came down as well.

So what is your experience with pen brands? Let's do a ball pen talk!

I am very fond of gel pens and Dong Jie is the best. I can't stand normal blue ballpen ink.

Pilot BPS-Fine

Used Panda, Bic, and the one with "fragrant ink" but didn't like that last one. Panda and Bic were OK but tends to bleed in my experience.

Then I tried Pentel still fine tip of course. Loved it so much I got a set for school use. The succeeding years made me discover I left several pens all over our place, and when I used them they still worked despite the (ab)use.

Dong-A gel pens are a fixture in my workplace. They're good, but their ink doesn't last very long.

The priciest ballpen I have is a simple Cross model given to me by my uncle. For a normal blue ink ballpoint-pen, it writes well and looks pretty good IMO.

+1 on shadow, I've had a few Parkers before and they're great.

I also bought a whole box of Panda ballpens after graduating from college, thinking I might need them for job hunting or work purposes. It's been a few years since and I've used only 10 of them so far. They still write okay.
