Pilot – Power to the Pen
Many of you have wondered what goes into a review of a product. While all product reviewers differ in their opinion and style, we all test the specific product itself thoroughly. Personally, I like to take my time to review the capabilities of the product – what it can do and what it cannot do. This process takes several days, as my opinion on the first day might not be the same on the third, fourth and fifth day of testing.
Unlike many reviewers, I draft my reviews using pen and paper. This is a habit left over from writing my term papers in school. Consequently, I need a dependable writing instrument with which to draft my reviews. Pilot brand pens from Shoplet are the pens that meet all my needs for this purpose.
Thank you Shoplet for providing me with four varieties of Pilot pens for the purpose of this review.
When looking for a new pen, there are five things to look for in your selection: ink, design, weight, balance and comfort. Ink is extremely important. The more easily it is absorbed by the paper, the less viscous the ink is. Pens that use quick-drying ink are ideal. The form and aesthetic appeal of a pen is an art form, which is why fountain and ballpoint pens are highly sought after collector’s items. The design of a pen varies by size, grip, color and material. The proper weight of a pen can be determined by having just enough heft to it to provide a little resistance to your hand movements without straining your hand. Just as important as the weight is the balance of a pen. A top-heavy pen can be hard to write with, but a bottom-heavy pen often results in a bulky grip. It is easier to write with a pen if the center of gravity is distributed somewhat evenly throughout the length of the shaft. The last factor to consider in your selection of a pen is the comfort. This is probably the most important factor. If the pen is not comfortable in your hand to write an entire paragraph, you probably will want to look for another pen.
Seriously, smooth meets fashion forward with the Pilot Acroball Colors. These assorted hybrid ink pens were provided to me in a medium point of 1.0mm. The hybrid ink combines the rich vibrancy of gel ink plus the quick-drying, water resistance of ballpoint ink specially designed to glide across the page. The Acroball Color pens are offered in blue, black, turquoise, purple, pink, orange and green. These individual color pens are sold separately by the dozen. If you are looking for a red ink pen, those are offered in both the 3 pack and 5 pack assortments. The Acroball Color pens feel extremely comfortable in your hand with a textured grip, which keeps the pen from slipping.
The Acroball Pure White pens are incredibly smooth to write with, as well. These pens contain a hybrid ink in a black color. If you prefer a finer point (0.7mm) when writing in longhand then this is the pen for you. Although the Acroball Pure White pens are offered with a different color accent of blue, lime, orange, pink, purple and turquoise, these pens are only offered in black inks. These pens are also comfortable in your hand. The fine point pens offer advantages over a medium point pen when completing those necessary medical forms and other forms that limit your writing area. Each color is sold separately via dozen, or you can select a 3 pack assorted or a 5 color assorted package.
The last of the Acroball pen series is the Acroball Pro pen. These particular pens are offered in a colored advanced ink in red, blue, black, or as a 3 pack assorted consisting of a red, blue and black pen. These medium point (1.0mm) pens also have a textured grip for easier handling. The Acroball Pro pens simply glide across your writing material.
All of the Pilot Acroball pens are very stylish in nature. In addition, the slim design of the pen makes it extremely easy to carry with you in your briefcase, purse, pocket or bag. With a textured grip on each style of Acroball pen, even writing for long periods, will not cramp your hand. They are well balanced. If you love a ballpoint pen, then a Pilot Acroball is the perfect pen for you.
Tastefully designed for writing comfort, Pilot offers Dr. Grip. The Dr. Grip is the new kid on the block. This ultra-smooth writing pen is made smear-resistant with advanced ink offered in delightful pastel color shanks with matching cushion grips. These pens are retractable and refillable. The Arthritis Foundation names the Dr. Grip pen for its ease of use. Since I suffer with a touch of arthritis, of all the Pilot pens, the Dr. Grip pen is the most comfortable in my hand. The Dr. Grip frosted pens are offered in a medium point only, but they provide a very smooth writing experience. Choose from a purple barrel, green, pink or blue barrel, as well as a mixed chip box, which contains of a purple, green, pink, and blue color. The single drawback I can find with the Dr. Grip pens is that only one color ink (black) is available.
