But the pen isn;t. Tried it on various paper surfaces, but the same result. Moreover, the ink color looks washed out - was expecting a saturated red color. And the worst part - the item can not be returned for a refund - can only be replaced with the same unacceptable stuff ... Review: Not a good experience with BIC pens… - I didn’t like the pen beacause - 1) colour is fade. 2) grip is not comfortable for long writing. 3) my overall experience about the pen is not good. ## Features - Best Quality - Bic - 383427 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006IZSI | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,393 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #1,449 in Stick Ballpoint Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | BIC | | Brand Name | BIC | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Colour | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,727 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00070330913547 | | Grip Type | Hexagonal | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Ballpoint Stick Pen, Ballpoint/Rollerball/Gel (Writing Instruments and Accessories), Writing Instruments and Accessories | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Red | | Item Diameter | 1 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 60.5 x 24.5 x 31.4 Centimeters | | Item Type | ball pen | | Item Weight | 59 g | | Line Size | 1.0-1.9mm | | Manufacturer | Bic | | Material | Polystyrene | | Material Type | Polystyrene | | Model Name | Cristal Xtra | | Model number | MSP101-Red | | Pattern | ball pen | | Recommended Uses For Product | Writing | | Special Features | Pocket Clip | | Style Name | 10 Count (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 359922634467 785525710114 719243464110 783759554412 070330913547 343538669142 374528557590 783759554481 | | Unit Count | 10.0 Count | | Warranty Description | no warranty available | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Ballpoint Pen | | Writing instrument form | Ballpoint Pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** BIC - **Colour:** Red - **Ink Colour:** Red - **Writing instrument form:** Ballpoint Pen ## Images ![BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Red, 10-Count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iNOot2-7L.jpg) ![BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Red, 10-Count - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61u+SkOzZKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Incorrect description - doesn't write smoothly at all *by R***D on 10 September 2024* The description says Xtra Smooth.
