Questions & Answers

What's the difference between this pen and the Pentel Energel NV 0 in terms of ink? 5mm (metallic blue with a cap)? Are they both able to write in a similar manner?

They are identical, except for the outer pen's design, which is unique. I'm a huge fan of these pens.

Is this a single pen or a set of twelve?

Hello,br>This listing is for a total of 12 pens. Thank you very much! br>

Is this a metal tip or a needle tip?

Metal tips with a good size. It makes a fine line, but not so fine that you lose control of the ink. I hope this helps.

What kind of pastel set do you have?

I compared it to the regular ones (pink, orange, blue, etc.) and found that the ink colors are identical.

Selected User Reviews For Pentel EnerGel-X Retractable Liquid Gel Pen 0.5mm, Needle Tip, Black Ink (2 Pack) (BLN105BP2A)

Black
5/5

Bold. Battlestar Galactica is a science fiction television series set in the universe of the Battle It's a dream to write with these. This is the pen you've been searching for if you like bold pens. It is the most daring of the bunch. I've never seen a pen with a nib of 0mm. It places the Pilot G2 at the top of the list. Schmidt 888 Broad and 0mm are put to shame. And it's silky smooth as butter. It glides across the paper with ease. If you can wrap your head around the analogy, switching from a Pilot G2 to this is the same as switching from a crappy ballpoint to the Pilot G2. This refill has been used to refill all of my G2 compatible pens. And consider this: These refills are compatible with the Pilot G2 body. Whaaaaat? Not that you'd want to, because the pen bodies themselves are fantastic. The knock is loud and satisfying to the ear.

These pens are so cool! I'm a teacher, and I'm going to need a lot of red pens to grade my students
5/5

These pens are so cool. It writes smoothly, and the ink has never been blotchy or clumpy in my experience. If you look at the photos, you can see that I also compared it to the EnerGel Deluxe RTX (which is more expensive). In one photo, I disassembled the two pens, while in the other, they are both assembled. Both inks are identical, as you can see. The EnerGel Deluxe RTX's only distinguishing feature is its slightly better, heavier construction. If you like the ink, this EnerGel-based ink is for you. Because the ink is the same, X is a fantastic deal. However, the Deluxe has a slightly (and I mean slightly) better construction (metallic parts on the pen's barrel and where you press down to click), so it's a good choice. Although I prefer slightly heavier pens when I write, these are very light and comfortable to hold, and you can't go wrong with them. I didn't think these were any less good than what you'd find at your neighborhood office supply store. I'd strongly suggest it!.

A Pilot G2 will easily allow me to write for two shifts
3/5

These pens are a little smoother to write with than the Pilot G2, but they only last half as long as the Pilot G2. At work, I do a lot of handwritten charting, and at the end of an 8-hour shift, one of these is empty. A Pilot G2 can easily handle two shifts of writing, and can often get all or nearly all of a third shift done. If you're a low-volume user looking for a smooth, quick-drying pen, these are ideal. As a frequent user, I prefer the Pilot G2's slightly less smooth writing and slightly slower drying ink in exchange for its significantly longer pen life. Also, why is buying a box of 12 whole pens cheaper than buying a box of 12 refills?.

The ink pens are excellent, but the plastic is flimsy
4/5

**update* 5 stars to 4** FOUR of the pen's side pieces (that you attach to your shirt) have broken clean off after only three months of fairly light use. They're now largely useless for my purposes because I can't attach them to anything. br>br>I'm picky when it comes to pens, but these are fantastic! The . Although 5mm may be considered too small by some, I believe it allows you to write in smaller spaces and draw finer lines. These pens cast a slight shadow on college ruled paper, but not enough to prevent you from using the back page. They don't smear as much as you might think. I wrote "smear test" on the page and wiped across it with my finger (heavily) after finishing the question marks, and it barely moved. In any case, it's not enough to irritate me. I also like how the pens themselves are relatively uncluttered, with no large barcodes or brand names emblazoned across the barrels. These colors (even the orange and pink) are vibrant and easy to read. I'll have to wait and see how long they last with daily use, but for the time being, I'd buy them again!.

Very nice pens that lay down a smooth line of ink that isn't too thin, not too thick, and doesn't smear at all
5/5

These pens produce a bold line, but not one that is excessively bold or sloppy. I bought a box of these with the 0. br>br>It's a bold rather than fat line. br>br> I started with 7mm points, but they weren't quite smooth enough, so I moved on to 8mm points. I came up with a box of 1. Points of 0 mm (By the way, they're both blue ink, so the difference isn't due to ink formulation differences. ) ) The 1. 0mm pens draw a nice, smooth line, and the extra width of the point allows the pen to - as well as the user to make the most of the fluid and unrestricted environment Gel pens have the ability to flow. br>br>I'm left-handed, but I don't write with my hand dragging across the ink, but I did test for smearing, and there was none on regular paper. Smearing occurs only when I pull a finger directly behind the pen, in which case I get a small smudge on my finger but no smear on the paper. br>br>I haven't had these for long enough to say how long they'll last, but given their wide point, it's probably safe to assume they won't. They come with a small bead of plastic on the tip, as others have mentioned, so there are no issues with drying before receiving. If it isn't obvious, I am a huge fan of these pens!.

a shoddy imitation off - garbage
3/5

Pentel Energel pens were introduced to me a few years ago, and I immediately fell in love with them. I've purchased Energel pens and refills from Amazon several times with no problems, though the most recent box I received appeared to be slightly different (see photos). The original has a solid color barrel, while the fake has a translucent barrel. Made in Japan is written on the original. Made in Mexico is written on the fake. The original has a lovely writing style, whereas the copy is terrible. The box will be returned to Amazon in the hopes of receiving a refund. Be wary of the buyer! Check to see if your Pentel pens are made in Japan rather than Mexico. I'm hoping this is a forgery for Pentel's sake. They should be embarrassed to put their name on it if it is a genuine Pentel product.
