Two stars, only because 2 pens worked. all others dried up, tried heat, hot water, etc. NO INK TO THE PAPER! They got me!

These pens are my favorite to write with at work. The price enables my to get so many for a very reasonable price.

seems great! quality of writing is good. 2 pens fit in my pocket. Don't seem to leak. retraction seems to continue to work fine.

These use to be my Favorite pens! I am in sales and go through a lot of pens. They have recently changed the ink and now they are junk. They smear when writing on leagal documents and leak in my pocket. Never had that problem before. Please Zebra go back to original ink it was the best ball point pen for the price hands down.

... I finally realized the pens ship with the smallest of little caps over the writing tip. Looks at first as though the tip is slightly absorbent like a Sharpie, but is not receiving ink. I finally discovered it's the tiniest of protective caps. Just knock it off and you're good to go. Marking the box with this little instruction might be helpful, but I could just be a knucklehead. I'm a lefty too, and no smearing problems for me. Love 'em!

We have been buying these for years, and do NOT like the new ink (and my group buys approx. 20 boxes at a time 4 times a year). New does not always mean ""improved,"" it just means different. The new ink does not write as smooth as the old ink, kind of scratchy and blobs compared to the old ink. The new pens do not last as long as many just quit.

The only reason I'm giving a four star, is I like the Z Grip Flight a little better. I kinda write fast and the ball on the Z Grip Flight keeps up with my pace. The have beautiful colors and they actually are incredible! I just need a fast point to keep up with my penmanship..

We use these for our everyday pens! This recent order has not been as good for example, Evertime you go to write something it doesn't seem to write like it should and its brand new! Please advise and the second problem is it goes from light to dark and thinner lines. Please advise.

Almost half of the pens in the pack I purchased have failed. Ink cartridges show they are full of ink, but only write for a couple of words and stop. If allowed to sit and tried again, get the same results. Wife was just throwing the pens away. I have contacted the manufacturer about their lifetime warranty and they do not even respond, Low quality pen and low quality company,

About the most economical retractable pens money can buy. Work really well (if you like the regular ink pens, and I do). "Retractor" can get clogged easily with dirt / debris if you work in dirty environment, but so do all cheap retractables. Best value in "bulk" quality retractable pens.
