Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen Assorted Ink 7 Pack Pouch, 90029

These pens are really nice to write with. They do not leak and the ink line is clean and tight. Great product.

The title says it all! It's great to still be able to find these type of pens in so many colors and at such a great value. You will be sorry if you don't buy more than one set.

I really like the idea of using a smooth writing pen and I'm obsessed with finding pens and office supplies, however, I was a little disappointed that these were so full, I prefer a smaller tip but they're a great pen!

I am obsessed with finding the best pens. I have bought many types of fountain pens, even those costing over a hundred dollars in a quest for one that writes smoothly, has the right amount of resistance, distributes ink evenly, and can withstand being transported in a day planner without exploding.

These pens meet all my expectations and cost a fraction of others I have bought. They don't look elegant, but that is a small price to pay for a functional fountain pen.

Simply put, these pens are amazing. They rival some of the best ball point pens I have ever used because they have such smooth writing. The thickness of a line is perfect and this pen provides a very consistent amount of ink (not runny). However, I would advise you to store the pen in an upright position (nib pointing up) because the other way makes slightly more ink to flow through. The ink dries up quickly and does not smear...the colors are very vivid as well. Also, I have used the pen for a while now and the ink has not runned out quickly. These pens are great for those who have expensive fountain pens but dont want to use them all the time. Plus, they get a lot of attention at school. Bottom line, these are outstanding quality and cheap pens.

I dont know what the problem was, but whenever I held the grip and wrote more than five words, ink would start to leak into my fingers, and smear around and coat my hand. I would not recommend these pens, spend the money and get quality pens.

I purchased this pen from Office Max on the recommendation of a sales associate who also writes with Sheaffer pens.

It was a waste of money, the nib is dryer than a Sheaffer when uncapped and the point is too fine that it scratches the paper and starts to felt and clog.

Fountain Pen nibs have to take on the characteristics of the owner by wearing down to the writing angles over time in order to truly break in.

The problem with this concept and this pen is by the time the nib has worn down to your writing angles.... it will be nearly out of ink.

Almost like obedience training a pet with congenital amnesia.


The barrel is as comfortable as any other non gelatin grip pen.

This pen doesn't offer any design advantages compared to a more expensive or vintage pen since it also has to be carried nib up at higher atmospheres when traveling by air and the nib still spits if it is dropped.

This pen may be suitable as an emergency backup if your primary FP runs dry, or you could just carry spare ink cartridges for your primary pen.

If you're buying this pen as a starter FP for yourself or as a gift, consider the inexpensive offerings from Sheaffer such as the $25 Javelin Sheaffer Javelin Cranberry Medium Point Fountain Pen - SH-93059 or even a Parker Vector.Parker Vector Deluxe Calligraphy Kit - 35979

I wish that some of my $300 to $500 fountain pens had a nib this smooth and easy to write with. I hate to carry an expensive fountain pen to work because someone is always asking to borrow it, and most people cannot use one correctly. Enter the Pilot Varsity. These sturdy little fountain pens have excellent nibs and, if some idiot borrows it and bangs the nib into the desk, I'm not out an arm and a leg. Comfortable and a pleasure to use.

I have used these pens for years. I didn't realize they had an assorted pack until I was ordering my regular black and blue ones and found these. I was thrilled! The pens run out fast if you use them regularly, but they are great and people in my office keep taking them if I let them use one.

Fountain pens are so expensive, and I find I love the fact that these are easy accessible, disposable, well made pens.

They have a good ink flow and feel good in the hand.

If they were, then everybody would use fountain pens. I buy the pack with all the colors. You got your Black (which I always give away), your Blue, your Purple, Green,Pink, Red, and Turquoise.

Remember to put the cap back on before you put it in your shirt pocket....you have been warned!

This is a very inexpensive way to find out what fountain pens are all about. If you are not a newby but don't use FPs any longer, discover improvements made in recent years. Noodlers ink, for example, becomes permanent when it hits the fibers in paper, is water soluable in your pen. So get in there with these great disposable pens!

I use fountain pens everyday, so I know what I am talking about: This is a great fountain pen for everyday writing -- one that you will not care gets lost or damaged due to its very low price (unlike the average (non limited edition) fountain pens, which can cost over $100 -- and sometimes much more). The Pilot Varsity pen lays down a great fine-to-medium line of ink, and the nib (IE: the writing tip) does not dry out too fast when left uncapped -- and the pen seems to write forever with its large internal ink reservoir. Fantastic buy; and with no muss-'n-fuss of having to refill the pen either!
