Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm assuming if you are searching for a 12pk of these pens on amazon, you are already a fan. On the off chance you are not, let me say my piece. I am very particular about my pens. As far as "cheap" pens go, I was (and still am) a huge TUL fan, but I borrowed a few of the Signo pens from my roommate and was pleasantly surprised. It has comparable if not better quality for a good price. I actually smile whenever I first start writing. It is that satisfying. I actually can't say I have a preference between these and my Montblanc rollerballs. Just about everyone who borrows it to jot down a note can't help but say, "This is a REALLY nice pen!" One of the first tests I do with a pen is write quickly and see if the ink skips out on any areas. The Signos perform flawlessly. The next test is to see if it oozes too much ink or smears. I write in a very small and fine hand, so this is a common problem for me. Again, the micro point Signos do not disappoint. I never go anywhere without one clipped to my collar or pocket. UPDATE: Some reviews said this was the wrong pen, and I think the pictures are causing confusion. I just wanted to confirm that I have ordered pens directly from this Amazon page and got the correct item. You are getting the 207 micro point (0.5mm), with gold lettering, and a solid silver barrel at the tip. The first picture of the product box is correct, the second image that has just a single pen is not correct. ---UPDATE #2: Current product photos are correct now. As for how long the ink lasts, I've honestly never noticed because by the time they do run out, I've forgotten when I first bought them. If I had to make an estimate, I'd say at least 4 months with moderate/heavy usage as a full-time student. Obviously user experience will vary, but I've used these pens for a long time now, and I'd say that's average. If yours ran out much sooner, I'd say you either got a dud, or are a very heavy user.
