Uni-ball Insight UB-211 Rollerball Pen 0.7mm – Review
On a dark grey day picking up a bright pink pen was no great hardship, although putting pen to paper & producing an interesting read to an old friend proved a little more difficult so I decided to write this review instead.
The pen in hand is a Uni-ball Insight UB-211 Rollerball in wine, the 0.7mm tip writes a fine 0.5mm line & its available in 6 colourful shades.

The road to success was not an easy one, prototypes failed, the team’s ideas led to many dead ends & tested more than a thousand materials whilst trying to perfect the ideal gel ink.
