UNIBALL JETSTREAM: 1.0mm vs 0.7mm (1 Viewer)

[qweqwe]

I've heard good things about Uniball Jetstream pens so I was thinking of buying a few myself. Which size should i get? I want something similar to a 1.0mm ballpoint pen, which is what i currently use, but I've heard that the 1.0mm jetstream is too thick.

I think 1.0mm is fit for a ballpoint pen so 0.7mm would be better for the Jetstream as the smudging is a main factor

The Uniball Jetstream 0.7mm (specifically, the lidded one) is a thing of beauty. It's perfectly weighted, writes beautifully, and rarely smudges. In my HSC year I would order them off eBay in bulk.

I personally prefer 0.7mm over the 1.0 (as you said, too thick). Also prefer the retractable version over the one with the lid. So just buy 1 retractable+buy your inks in bulk on ebay. Regardless of your choice, the jetstream is pretty much the best ballpoint out there so you really can't go wrong.

I think that a 1.0mm tip would be a bit too thick. The 0.7mm seems more comfortable and a lot easier to write with, which would be helpful for any exam. However, I would say that the pen choice doesn't really make a difference unless you've accustomed your grip to a particular style of pen. I used a fresh black kilometrico pen that I bought in year 7 for all of my HSC exams.
