Inquire as to how I came to this conclusion.
I can't make a comparison because I only have the Needle Point. For what it's worth, I really like the Needle Point because it writes very smoothly. I apologize for not being able to assist you more.
They might make them, but I'm not sure. I really hope they do because I'd buy them.

because I am a writer I'm one of those sad, desperate people looking for the best pen-and-ink combination. I write all day because I am a writer. I frequent office supply stores, art supply stores, and drug stores, and you can find me in the eisle of any store that sells pens. staring, hopeful, but (unfortunately) not yet gaunt. I went on an Amazon binge recently, buying up all the top-of-the-line pens I could find in the hopes of finding one I liked. I did it, too! This one came out on top. The ink is very black, making it easy to read; it glides smoothly across the page, reducing fatigue; there is no skipping; and it's comfortable in the hand. While it's not cheap, it's not so expensive that you'll be concerned if one goes missing. It isn't the best line in the world by any stretch of the imagination- However, I found that the finer pens tended to fail one or more of the virtues I listed for this pen (at least with the ones I purchased). Most of the time, writing exhaustion and skipping are the culprits. One person did both of these things, as well as light ink (argh!). So, while this pen isn't the Holy Grail of Pens, it's a good start. It's a rest stop along the way. My brethren, I bid you farewell.
when they are at their most productive When in use, these pens produce a strong, full black ink that isn't as smear-prone as other pens. Other pens I like (such as the Pilot G2) are not as prone to this as this one. I also like the fine point of the pen for use in my bullet journal and for taking notes in general. (I believe they assist me in writing more quickly. ) The issue is that these pens are nearly $2 each ($1) when broken down. I can't justify the price given how inconsistently the pens work (82 to be exact). I've had at least two complete duds in a pack of 12 after the first/second use, and several more that died out after a few days or, if lucky, a week. I've tried tapping, rapping, and looking inside the pens but haven't had any luck- Some of the pens were simply duds, and a $2 dud pen seems unacceptably expensive (especially when multiple duds appear in a single pack). Maybe if this came in a $12 or $15 pack, I'd be okay with it. However, it's disappointing that such generally powerful and unusually expensive pens are occasionally rendered completely useless. br>br>(In the photo, you can see where a pen's ink started to fade out at random halfway down the page-- I'd only been using the pen for three days when the shift occurred without warning. 4 days).

TUL pens have long been a favorite of mine. I'm not sure if I had an older style, but my old TUL pens look different than these, despite the fact that they're both fine point and the same brand. About half of the pens are always writing, while the rest alternate between writing and not writing. It's extremely inconvenient, so I've had to resort to using other pens in place of these because they're unreliable when I need them. If it's even possible, I might just go for a different point or a different style.
I paid a higher price for these pens because I liked the way they wrote. I'm not sure if they're selling old pens or something.

These TUL pens are usually one of my favorites. However, the purchase I made on December 5, 2016- A box from December 5, 2016, that I started because I had some on hand from a previous order, is not working.

These have a less flimsy fine point, making it easier to write through carbon copy forms, but they still have a fine tip, allowing you to write or draw with precision. Your writing has a high level of quality. The ink is very smooth and easy to work with. There are no blotches or skips to speak of. Unlike some pens, ink does not build up at the tip of this pen. They always write, and there's no need to scribble to get the ink flowing. They have a pleasant appearance. br>br>These TUL pens are truly exceptional. notch. I've used some of the best pens in my life.
