Where do people try out pens? I'm on the lookout for fine tip ballpoint pens but not sure how to look for them.

- eachro 5y agoKinokuniya (the Japanese bookstore) usually has a pen section where you can sample pens/other writing utensils.
- sg47 5y agoThanks! I'll check them out. Any recommendations for pens?
- eachro 5y agoI really like the uniball signo 207 for a smooth every day pen.

- sg47 5y agoHah. Sorry there's no guarantee that the pens in the article could be sold at that store.
- klyrs 5y agoThe thing I miss about university is that the bookstore had an excellent selection of pens that you could try in the store. But as I type that, I realize that I'm a scant few miles from a university.

- dmm10 5y agoAs klyrs mentioned, university bookstores typically have a section for writing implements where one can try out pens. Additionally, every decent art supply store I've been in has had a section for pens with paper to try them out on. Art stores don't usually carry cheaper mass market office pens, but I do see some of the Staedtler, Pentel, and other pens recommended. I've even found pens I like that Jet Pens doesn't carry.
- munificent 5y agoIn the US, craft stores like Michael's and Hobby Lobby usually have a section for drawing that has a pretty good pen selection.
