Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to standard ballpoint pens or traditional water-based rollerballs, the Pentel EnerGel NV provides a significantly smoother glide with less pressure. It bridges the gap between the vibrancy of a fountain pen and the convenience of a disposable, while maintaining a lower environmental footprint than non-refillable alternatives.

What to know before buying

1. Select the correct refill model (LR7 for 0.7mm) to ensure a perfect fit.
2. Check that the cap is securely clicked to prevent ink evaporation during storage.
3. Be aware that the high-flow ink may bleed slightly on very thin, low-gsm paper.
4. Opt for bulk refill packs to maximize cost savings and reduce plastic waste.
