I am left handed. My hand tends to smudge the paper. Is this set a quick dry? If not, could you point me to another set with assorted colors that is?

It won't smear. I'm left handed as well and love the boldness. It's not instand dry but close. The 1.6mm bold puts a lot more ink on the paper, so it does not last anywhere near as long as the original Cristal. I write a fair amount and I get about 10 days only out of one pen. If you like it, I'd say stock up. I would consider this on par with the papermate 700rt.

How do you turn off the secret ink bomb feature? it's spooging ink everywhere.

This has happened to me a couple of times and I toss the pen. As inconvenient as it can be, I still love the distinction of the ink....it’s so clearly evident. I do, however, suggest informing Bic of the problem of ink oozing.

Is there an orange colored pen?

There is no orange. Purple, turquoise, light blue, black, dark blue, pink, lime green and red.

Bic is the best!

I needed some some pens for work and I knew just the brand to get! Bic is by far my favorite brand! It glides so smoothly across the paper, it has full bold lines so it's not sketchy. The ink dries quickly so it doesn't smudge all over my hands. I just love it. And the different colors give me colorful work making me stand out. Which I LOVE.

5/5 — Very affordable, smooth writing pen!

This is such an affordable, budget-friendly, and smooth writing pen with bold lines! I love it! I just wish that the wax covering the pen tips was easy to pull off completely, but otherwise, very valuable pen for its cheap price.

Worth the price.

Very bright and bold colors as described. The ink lasts quite a long time. Adds some flare to ordinary writing. A good buy at a very reasonable price.

I bought these pens as I'm a courier and need pens on a daily basis. I took 1 out at a time and every single one of them leaked everywhere and by the time I had got through the box the return had ran out so I cannot claim my money back. They do not say bic on the pen either a shame really because I would have had boxes of these monthly
