Whilst I would be lost without my computer, keeping notebooks is something I’ve always done & always will.  In certain circumstances I just like the convenience of putting pen to paper, its not always practical to use a computer or other hand held device, for me its quicker to use a pen.  The Uni-Ball Signo Gelstick has Uni’s trademark Super Ink, said to be long lasting & tamper proof, so I’m going to see if its something I’ll be adding to my desk tidy collection.Uni-ball Signo UM-170Super Ink is a pigment ink that complies to ISO 14145-2, a high quality permanent ink that is resistant to water & doesn’t fade in strong sunlight.  Useful for those of us needing their notes to  stand up to the rigours of being left for some time but that are also revisited time & time again.

Pentel Tradio Fountain Pen Review

June 22, 2012

As I removed the cap on the Pentel Tradio Fountain Pen I was surprised by the appearance of the nib.  My eyesight is not quite what it used to be, too many hours sitting in front of computer monitors, but the tip of this pen was just not what I expected to see.  The nib [...]

Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip Metallic Gel Ink Pen K118M Review

June 15, 2012

I tend to think of metallic writing instruments as “hobby” pens, for scrap booking & arts & crafts.  These pens are clearly popular as many leading manufacturers produce them. One such pen is the Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip rollerball, which is available in 8 brilliant colours. For the purpose of this review I am putting [...]

Zebra Expandz Review – Pink Ballpoint Pen 1.0mm Tip

June 5, 2012

This smartly designed ballpoint is protracted by simply holding the top [...]
