Reviewing: Uni Ball Rollerball Vision Elite (Bold)
Purchased at: Kmart, Walmart, Office Depot     Price: $3.00 USD

My favorite pen for a long time has been the Uni-ball Vision Elite Bold. It is a rollerball pen that is very smooth writing, and easily visible in the bold choice. I have a collectibles indoor flea market booth, and have to write a lot of price tags, and I have found that this pen is perfect for that. I prefer black, but it also comes in blue, as well as a combination pack with other assorted colors.

My elderly mom and I love this pen so much, that we fight over it! (Not physically.) But we do actuallyget very possessive of our pens, and she has been known to write her name on a piece of tape affixed to her pens, so that we do not get them mixed up. (I often borrow a pen from her when I visit, and am writing at the kitchen table.) She absolutely loves the bold rollerball pens for writing grocery lists and checks.

About the only complaint I have about these pens is that occasionally they may smear. So be careful, when signing greeting cards or important documents, to let the ink dry thoroughly. I have also found that it is best not to sign credit cards with rollerball pens, because of smearing.

Other than that, you will find this to be the perfect everyday pen!

I love Uni-Ball pens and this one sounds like one theirs that is more top of the line than others. I hate that smearing trouble also, but if you can keep your hands off the page until it dries, all is good (says the clumsy girl with ink covered hands, lol).

I am a MAJOR pen and office supply geek. I have not tried these, but need to run out to freshen my supply and will check these out!

I've been known to tape my name to my favorite office pen, otherwise it walks off. I've used Uniball before, but as a lefty it tends to smear on the paper and all over my hand.

It always a great thing when you find an inexpensive pen that feels just right to you. This is not my favorite, but I'm glad that you like it a lot.
