Slider Memo XB

I love these pens and have ordered this supply not because I'll use all of them, but enjoy giving them to some people who use pens a lot and enjoy the smooth writing, intense black color and no globbing of the ink.

Outstanding quality!

This review is now edited! here is my original review. ======== The pens arrived ok. I write a lot to a lady in England and she has trouble reading dim light black ink writing. I often write 6 to 10 pages in one letter. I was happy to read the pens are supposed to write a line 2.5 miles long. She loved the darker pen darker writing. HOWEVER! --- On computer printer paper, the pen often skipped part of a word. a whole part of, say, an "h" would not appear. Also, the pen felt like it was writing on sandpaper! there was no smooth writing. If I pressed down harder to make every letter appear, the "sandpaper" feel of the writing would only get much worse! Like writing *on* sandpaper! ---I must have written two long letters and then the ink became very faint. I saw that the pen had run out of ink! the pen cartridge is clear so that I could obviously see that the pen had no ink. In only two letters and perhaps a bit of writing here and there, the pen was gone. 2.5 miles? not unless 15 to 25 sheets are made up of 2.5 miles of ink! At this rate, my nine pens left will be gone by spring! --Also. I tried writing on "college" lined paper. a thinner paper than of the computer printer paper. the blue ink showed quite clearly on the backside of the sheet, so much so that I could not write on that side without making a confusing mess! How could she even read that side, like there were two letters superimposed on each other and one letter was in mirror reverse! I must be someone with a two-star review, one of the few. maybe with certain types of paper and "light", short letters, this pen will shine. Not for my needs though! ============ My updated review. 5 stars! why? When I discovered that this pen ran out of ink, so quickly, I threw it out. Since my meal menu orders should be in an easy to read ink, I went back to the box to get another pen. At least these pens are good for that! the box contained 10 pens, there are 9 left, I removed another pen. "WHAT!", I exclaimed to myself! This second pen was a different pen! It matched the image of the pen on the cover of the box. All nine remaining pens are the "correct" pen that I ordered. Somewhere a Mistake was made. I was reviewing the "mistake"! I will not fault the store as I think that my original order was for three pens! Mistakes are often made in packaging. I get a set of plastic "silverware" when my meal comes. Often there is a spoon or fork missing and even sometimes like two spoons! This in a sealed plastic wrapper with a napkin and salt/pepper. So then, later, I wrote another page of my current letter project to my penpal lady in England using this pen. what a difference. The pen writes smoothly, with no paper drag. The color is a bit lighter thus the ink might indeed last the advertised 2.8 miles. No bleed-through to the other side of the paper either. The pen felt good in my hand. I then upped my rating to five stars. freestone

These are absolutely my favorite pin. They write smoothly and the grip is great.

branching out and trying out different brands and colors. While searching for pens I came across this pen set, as well as another pen set by the same company, and am more than happy that I did. Having a great quality pen is important to me since I write on a daily basis. The Slider Memo XB feels very comfortable to write with and I really like how the body of the pen is designed. The pen has a rubber coating which is my favorite since I am able to get a better grip and not have to worry about it slipping from my hand while I am writing. I really love how creamy and smooth these pens write. The pens do not smudge nor does the ink blotch the paper. I am impressed with how quickly the ink dries too. The pens by this company have quickly become my favorite! No matter what type of paper I am writing on these pens do not disappoint. These pens come packaged in a carrying pouch which makes it great for travel or storage. I purchased the blue, black and red pens and since I am very happy with my purchase I plan on buying the other colors offered. Very pleased with these pens and would recommend them for sure.

First time purchasing a Schneider pen. I was quite impressed. Very smooth writing and the ink flow was consistent. Comfortable grip and cap stays on tight. Wish the appearance was a little more professional looking but that’s just me. I would definitely recommend

In 2016 I bought a pen at a stationery shop which was (for my taste) a bit pricey for a plastic pen. But this pen turned out being my favorite pen to write with!! I never had to press too hard on paper, the pen just flows like a beautiful smooth fountain. It lasted long too! About 3 years before it ran out. Since then, I've tested other pen brands both plastic and aluminum / stainless steel.. but for the price, Schneider is literally the best pen you'll find out there. Reason why I bought me a whole bag now.. ;)

Love these! Pricy as hell but worth it. Smooth writing, thick line and comfy to hold!
