Pens!!

I am starting Y12 is a few weeks now. In year 11 I have been using those 'Smoothie' pens (triangle) but they are really shit. I have been having the problem when every now and again a big blodge of ink comes out when I am writing and it looks really untidy. Does this happen to anyone else?? Anyway, what pens do you use that are good and dont blodge.. could it just be my writing style (i dont press down really hard either)

Thanks in advance

Funny, seeing as the very reason why I "don't" smudge with Smoothies is cos I write so lightly >.> Yeah, have seen others in my class smudge all over the place with them, but they work fine for me ^.^

Smudgy pens!

I recently fell in love with a smudgy pen but I'm worried.

Ever since those competitions in primary school that are run by UNSW (I think?) that didn't let me use an inky pen for the multiple choice I have avoided using them, favouring the bic type ballpoint pens. I haven't entered any of the competitions since Year 8, realising they are a waste of money, but...

But this new pen I've tried is so easy to use.

My question: in the HSC are we allowed to use the inky, smudgy pens? Or must we use the sometimes uncomfortable but very clean classic pens?

Leak?

I'm guessing both are acceptable, but would recommend using "clean" pens. You want to make your writing more legible to the marker in any way possible, I guess <.<

for me , they dont smudge , but thath might be because i press pretty hard when i write :p
