Pilot Hi-Tec-C 025 Gel Ink Pen, Hyper Fine Point 0.25mm, Black Ink, LH-20C25, Value Set of 5

The best pens for fine writing. Use them for school and love. Sometimes you have to shake the pen a little or the ink will skip. May try to find another brand bc the skipping gets annoying but if I can find anything as fine point then dark in color then I will repurchase. Comfortable to hold and writes smoothly. Many people mistaken it for pencil.

Thanks for reading! Over the last couple of years I’ve been on a quest to find and test the pens with the finest points. From subjective writing/drawing experience to quantitative measurements with a scanning electron microscope, I’ve put more than 30 different ultra-fine tipped pens (0.38mm or less) through a multitude of tests to determine which strikes the perfect balance between fine lines and smooth writing. This pen, without a doubt, is the smoothest writing rollerball with a nib size under 0.3mm that I have ever come across. If a pen could feel like a mechanical pencil, but with unbreakable lead, and rich black lines, this is it. I want every excuse to write with this pen now. It’s better than the 0.25mm Pentel Slicci by miles, and the 0.28mm uni-ball edge by light years. I may buy a few dozen of these in case they ever get discontinued. ONE MAJOR CAVEAT I have never tested the Rotring Isograph series of pens, which do actually get down to a nib size of 0.1mm. The problem is that they’re nib does not fall into a traditional category, and requires cleaning after every use… which is a major deal break for me. At the time of writing, the world’s finest tipped rollerball pen (discontinued 5 years prior) can be purchased new on eBay for ~$1200-$1400… with a nib size of 0.18mm. Pretty incredible, the price and precision engineering I mean. But, I DO NOT have that kind of money to spend on something used to mark dehydrated tree blood, so here I am buying $10-$20 pens/pen sets hoping to satisfy my itch.

Writes very well so far.

I love these pens but they will bleed with highlighter application which is a PITA so I docked one star. Love the feel and the extra fine tip. But I don’t use them much since I need to highlight over writing quite a lot.

These pens work great for journaling and taking notes in your Bible. Nice clean lines and good flow.

My son wanted these to do math in college because they write like a fine point pencil, but are pens. I loved them so much I bought myself a set. I will say the print can be hard to read (age may have something to do with it) because it is so fine, but he loves them so 5 stars!

I have a pen addiction and this fits perfectly for my writing style

I think these pens are great initially! The ink is dark and the lines are thin. But over time, I found that it became more difficult to write with them. They are not very smooth and the ink became much lighter. I've been using the same one for about a year and there's still a lot of ink left over. It's great initially, but it dulls down in quality over time.
