WANTED - (dead or alive) - BLOB FREE/SMEAR FREE PENS
I have used Pentel Pens for many years, as part of my artwork because of their excellent quality ink & ease of use. I did not use them for everyday writing because the French Biro company (you know who I mean) seemed best for that but since their ink quality has hit rock bottom, I turned to Pentel for a blob free, non-smear writing experience.
I purchased Pentel's "Superb" pens - what a misnomer. They should be re-named "Mr Blobby"!
I wrote to Pentel UK about this disappointing product & said I was open to suggestions on which Pentel product would be blob & smear free - NO REPLY.
Another rude company with no customer service & a shoddy product to boot.

Don't Buy Pentel Mattehop pens - don't last
Recently bought some Pentel Mattehop pens from Rymans - they had some great colours. However, the nibs dry up really quickly, even when you're continually writing, meaning you have to scribble somewhere to get the ink flowing again. But the worst bit is that there's barely any ink in them - each pen so far has only lasted 2 days at work before it stops working completely. I reached out to Pentel on 2nd November & they've completely ignored me. Terrible pens & terrible customer service.

Buying from Pentel went well.
Buying from Pentel is always simple. I've deducted a star because they add in a 'free' ruler. I don't want 'free' items added to my order because they might simply become junk and pollution. As it happens i would elect to have one of these free rulers but i would like to be given the choice to have it or not.
