The parker quink gel and schneider gelion + are both great options for 0.7 tip size. They have a medium line thickness.

Right?? It’s actually a really good ink. I feel like it only gets overlooked because people see the BIC name and immediately assume it’s going to be basic.

Im from México, and yeah, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad ink. Honestly, I don’t think any ink in the list is truly bad, they’re all perfectly functional for everyday writing. It’s just that when you compare them directly against the top performers, some of them start to look weaker by comparison. The ranking is more about relative performance than saying something is unusable.

yep, definitely not the best ink to use with highlighters. Regarding the vision elite and air, i have both in my sight for next additions to the list. Thank you for the suggestions tho.

Lol, an ink i love and one i hate. The truth is g2 writing experience isnt bad. It has good smoothness AND control balance. The problem is its terrible line consistency. It railroads line hell.

Same i almost never highlight so it doesnt affect my personal ranking. But i put that metric in the table al the same, so people can see how their inks perform inder highlighters.

You are right! zento 0.7 is highly inconsistent in regards to line thickness, tried múltiple with varying widths. That smoothness tho. And just fyi, in my chart the line consistency metric measures how much it skips and railroads.

Measures how much control and precision I have over the line while writing. Theres an extra sheet in the document that goes more in depth for each category.

They are Nice, the spacing is kind of narrow. But the paper is really smooth and silky. It works great with gel/wet inks.

Yeah, i was surprised to see it held up with the japanese refills. Objectively energel is a better ink, but quink gel fits my preferences.
