help Uni-ball Jetstream Rollerball Pen FAQ
What type of ink does the Uni-ball Jetstream Rollerball Pen use?
The Jetstream does not use traditional liquid ink; instead, it utilizes a proprietary hybrid ink formula. This unique ink combines the smooth, fast-drying properties of a gel pen with the heavy, durable coverage of a traditional oil-based ballpoint.
Is the Uni-ball Jetstream good for left-handed writers?
Yes, it is highly recommended for left-handed writers due to its incredibly fast-drying hybrid ink. The low-viscosity formula reduces friction on the page, which prevents the dreaded ink smearing that lefties often experience when dragging their hand across the paper.
How does the Jetstream compare to the Pilot G2 or Pilot V5 pens?
While the Pilot V5 uses a pure liquid ink system and the Pilot G2 uses a standard gel ink, the Jetstream uses its unique hybrid oil-based ink. This makes the Jetstream significantly more resistant to water and much less prone to smudging immediately after writing.
What sizes do Uni-ball Jetstream refills come in?
The Jetstream line is famous for offering multiple line widths to suit different writing styles, most notably the 0.5mm, 0.7mm, and 1.0mm tip sizes. The 0.7mm is widely considered the perfect middle ground for everyday, smooth writing.
