(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } At 1gbp each the blue ink delivered was of a royal blue hue and didn't smudge, drag, blot or judder- meaning there's nothing not to dislike in the performance of the pen.Build quality is ok, good for 1gbp the cap holds well in place and the steel pocket mount is secure and grips well- no real danger of it falling out. The body print was competently done and all the seams and joints meshed easily- limiting hte risk of leaks of ink from the body- I did notice the regulators ( fine finned inserts in the barrel clear grip were showing some ink leakage into them, but presently it's not escaping the barrel and the whole pen remains secure and only allows ink out of the intended ball point.The pen itself is a lookalike of a more established competitor, some things are different, but the general design is carried over, even the ink reservoir indicator along the barrel was there. Ink applied didn't bleed trough the 110g paper I was using, the ink line was measured at 0.5mm, the edges of the line were a bit more ragged than other premium roller balls I have used, but the impact of that with a naked eye is minimal, but for those who have great penmanship skills it may give a little disappointment- but for the rest of us, it's a functional, competent pen at a price for 4, that would only be able to buy 1 of the originals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth Writing and No Smudges - A Great Everyday Pen

a. · 23 May 2025

The IGEAIIE blue gel pens are a wonderful surprise - they are quite smooth to write with and do not smudge, especially for a lefty like myself. The 0.5mm tip is ideal for neat, accurate writing, whether I am taking notes at work or journaling at home. The ink runs consistently, and the pens are easy to grip. A great value for a four-pack - ideal for school, the office, or everyday usage.
