Pilot Juice Gel Ink Ballpoint Pen, 0.5mm, 12 Color Set (LJU-120EF-12C)

Product Information

There are so many shade combinations that you can make from this line of pen. I can't wait to see what colors you put together! This truly is a JUICY pen from Pilot. The color palette is uniquely chosen with shades pulled from sections of the color wheel that usually require combining pens from many families and manufactures. Overall, I love this pen! It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a super smooth writing experience in a lightweight pen. I think you’re going to love it too. It’s been researched, it’s been tested… it is Stationery Nerd Approved! The bright colors: Apple Green, Turquoise, Orange, Apricot Orange, Rose Pink, Light Blue, Grape, and Coral Pink are so bright they appear neon.

I also do not have a problem with ghosting on any of the papers I’ve tried – 70gsm, 80gsm, 100gsm, Stalogy, and Tomoe River Paper. However, I’ve only tested the .38mm (so far) so if I get my hands on the 1.0mm or .7mm versions, I’ll do a test and update the results here. I suspect the larger tip size might be an issue on thinner paper. The ink in the Pilot Juice is a water-based pigmented gel ink. Because it’s a pigment ink you get a whopping 42 color options (dye-based inks are more limiting). I find that the inks are nicely saturated – not too light, not too dark. And the .38mm tip writes SO smoothly without any skipping or globbing (is that a word?).
