Never ready when I need it! A great price for so many pens but they never start to print when you pick them up. They either get cold, or the ink just isn't in there right, but I can't count on any of them to be ready when I AM, so I threw them out...Going back to Papermate. At those are ready whether they are upright, laying down or it's 60 degrees in here, they write when I want them to.

I am writing this review because I see it has a low rating and I'm worried it will be discontinued as I've found it's difficult to find in stores near me. Please, please don't stop making this pen. I've used it basically my whole life; at every school and job I've ever had. I even wrote my wedding vows with one of these pens.

Just bought a pack of Z-Grip ballpoint pens and find each pens tip is covered in a blob of some type of rubbery substance. If you push hard enough and long enough it will break through but collects ink on it and smears. If you pick it off it will work. No where on the packaging or on your web site does it address this issue. Now this maybe a common feature in today's pens but not everyone knows and if so, then your company should know the definition of ""ASSUME""

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.

I have been using Zebra's Z-Grip retractable pens for as long as I can remember -- well over a decade. I recently purchased a package billed as improved with ""smoother"" ink. I disagree. Rather than gliding along the page as it has in the past, the ink is much more splotchy, which causes the letters to blend together. My handwriting is not the best to begin with, but now it's often difficult for me to read what I've written. I wish there was a way to buy a package of the old pens with the clear tips, rather than the improved pens with the tinted tips.

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,

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..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality pens at a great value

Great set of pens. Comfortable grip, color looks good for the price and writes well.

These pens write really smooth and dark at first. After some use, the ink starts to really fade and it gets harder to write with this pen. I will definately not purchase in the future.
