Pens: favourite type, colour etc (1 Viewer)

[Linee]

I find the kilometrico far easier to write with for long periods of time that pens with gel grips and features designed to make you be able to write longer.

Yeah but they make you write BIG words (because the pen lines are so thick), which is a disadvantage when you are trying to cram a lot of words into a small space e.g. short answer response in science subjects.
As for pen colour it should be BLUE, so the marker can easily distinguish between the words of the question(black) and the words of your answer(blue).

Anyone else agree ?

For Exams the Uni-Ball Jetstream owns all in terms of speed, but i personally don't use them since it seems unnecessary, because we can only write as fast as we can think, and the good ole' Pilot BPS-GP and Papermates should be able to keep up. The Jetstream does run out a lot faster (maybe since you write more idk) and you can't see from the outside how much is left which is a hassle.

The Pilot SUper-Grip ones are really good for lefties, they rarely smudge

I made a pro/con list on this exact topic at the beginning of the year.
:uhhuh: Blue won out in the end. :uhhuh:

Thick lines? wtf?

Thick lines? wtf?

thick lines as in the point is thick therefore when you write the words seem slightly bolded

No, my English teacher marks the HSC and he says that black is the best colour and he encourages us to write in it. This is because blue (and other colours) tend to reflect light more from the big marking hall lights compared to black, and hence makes it harder to mark.

Re: Felt Tip Pins etc?

I like using those grip Bic pens.
I've always used blue pens, I don't know why.

It's true that it makes the line slightly bolded, wear proper glasses mate.
Then you might get it

i use papermate ballpoint blue pens or the kilometrico ones.

But i'm starting to like the ballpoint papermates ones they don't leak much.
Maybe it's because i just got them like a week ago.

so would you guys agree that felt tip pens help you write faster?

Definitely not. Felt tips pens are disgusting and leak (my experiences anyway). I could also go into a scientific argument of why felt tip pens would not help you write faster, but I can't be bothered.

Hmm i think the uniball 207c is a pretty good pen, looks pretty damn sexy aswell =]

 

[pwoh]

I've always used blue, black just looks weird now =] Probably out of habit.

I like medium-fat pens...I always use that medically-sponsored pen (somac or something). Those kilometrico ones are too light and thin for my tastes, and the lines they make are too thick and dark at the beginning (when they start to die they look horrible)

 

[imqt]

i use the pilot 07 amazing gel pen

Nice pen.

I use the kilometrico ones, both blue and black, depending on my mood. I recently discovered those multi-coloured kilometrico pens available. They seem pretty nice. Wished I discovered them before the trials though.

 

[FOB all the way]

i dont no if this has been asked but we were told to use black to day as that is what the bored prefers, was every one told this or just my school, cause i like blue but today i forced myself to use black

and i use Bic soft feel med
