• For signatures and fluid handwriting, choose Vision Elite or Uni-ball One (pigment ink).

• Left-handed writers often prefer Jetstream for its quick-dry properties.

• If you need archival, water-resistant ink, look for pigment-based Signo or Uni-ball One models with fade/water resistance indicated.

Care and replacement

• Replace gel or rollerball pens if skipping or ink flow weakens; store capped or retracted to prevent drying.
