## Description

Try the addicting smoothness of the uni-ball Jetstream 101 ball point pen for yourself. These nice pens feature a unique hybrid ink that combines the smoothness of a gel ink with the quick-drying properties of a ballpoint pen. While providing crisp and vivid lines, the ink easily penetrates paper to help prevent smearing, which makes these red pens ideal note taking pens for left-handed writers. A soft textured body means these color pens are ultra-comfortable and easy to write with. Like all uni-ball pens, the Jetstream 101 features uni Super Ink that protects against water, fading, and fraud. This pigment-based ink contains particles that form an indelible bond in paper -- it can't be broken... ever. Jetstream 101 delivers solid vivid colors every time you write.

Review: Great for Left handed writers - I’m genuinely impressed with these pens! The ink flows smoothly without skipping, smudging, or blotting, which makes writing feel effortless. They glide nicely across the page and dry quickly, so there’s no messy smearing — even for left-handers like myself. The grip is comfortable, making them perfect for long writing sessions at work, school, or journaling. The ink is bold and consistent, and the pens feel sturdy and well-made.
Review: The Best Pen Ever - I am really picky about pens and office supplies in general. These pens look like the cheap, ugly, generic pens that would write in a scratchy way, like a pen you might grab out of a cup in an office to fill out a form. Don't let appearances fool you! They are actually the smoothest writing pens I've ever used. I found them during law school, ten years ago, when I took notes by hand and needed my pen to keep up with how quickly I needed to write to get down all the details. This pen is the only one that delivered perfectly because of how smoothly it writes - no scratchiness or skipping to slow me down! And you know how sometimes you buy a pen but then you lose it or just start using a different pen instead, so you have a bunch of pens that still have ink until eventually they're dried out and you just toss them? Not these! I buy these and then I actually use them until they have run completely out of ink, which is extremely satisfying. And have you ever been writing quickly and had a pen flip right out of your hands (maybe that's just me)? The outside of the pen is also a smooth, soft, rubbery material that lets you get a good grip, too! And did I mention the price? They are SUCH a good value! I've been loyal to these pens for ten years and I'll keep being loyal to them until they stop being made. If that sad, unfortunate, nightmare of a day ever does come, I will buy every single one I can find to try to stock up as long as possible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Literally the best ballpoint pen out there
*by K***R on January 3, 2023*

I am a rabid pen snob. I'm very picky about my stationery as a whole, and have been for as long as I can remember. I got these pens on sale sometime about a decade ago and I've looked for them at stores since, but never found them. I was reminded about them again recently and was so happy to find the exact ones here that I've been looking for for years. I just got the pens in (I bought a box of blue and a box of black), and.... They absolutely hold up to memory. More than that, I have tested them against all of my favorite pens that I have collected over the years and the only pen that beats these are the Tul gel .7mm. Out of all pens I own or have tried: gel, ballpoint, fountain, felt tip/fine liner.... These are top two of all time. If they had crates of 100 of these pens, I'd buy themithoit question. Hard facts that are more helpful than a random person's opinion: 1. They don't smudge at all with highlighters. Tried many types on black and blue ink. Doesn't budge. 2. Great for lefties. I rubbed my hand hard against the ink immediately after writing and got a tiny bit of shadowing, but no dragging or moving of the ink. And that's with trying to smudge it. Nothing with normal use. 3. Pigment is dark and rich like gel without the need for added pressure to get increased darkness. 4. Flow is blissfully smooth. They might skip while starting, but after it's started once it's good to go indefinitely. No globbing of ink on the tip, no hitching or scratching. Even on trash paper, these pens glide effortlessly. Two small drawbacks that I'll be honest about: 1. The cap fits a bit loose while posted. Twists easily which makes it feel like it'll fall off, but I haven't had one fall off yet. It has a kind of satisfying click when the cap goes on either end, so even though the wiggle sensation is there while writing sometimes, it seems the design is secure enough. 2. The shape of the tip isn't the most comfortable for long term writing. There's a ridge that is a little unfortunate if you're the type who hold pens close to the tip like me. It's not a problem for short uses at all. All said, I'll recommend to everyone and loan no one these pens. Wish they were in stores again.
