I tried these pens out years ago, needing a fine point and in blue ink. I didn't want to spend a ton of money, because they are just pens... I was very happy with these pens as they lasted a long time and didn't bleed through the paper. I continue to purchase these pens and even my coworkers like them. The only downside is they can break or bend at the tip if you press too hard - but you don't have to press hard with these pens.
