Cristal Xtra Bold

Awesome pens! They write so smoothly and are wonderfully affordable. Everyone who writes with them are so surprised at the quality of the pen feel and low pen point drag. I have them in black and blue, and give them away to folks who comment on them. Highly recommend!

These pens write smooth and the color is bold. No smearing of the ink or bleeding through the paper. Great for note taking!

This pen has an easy flow and provides excellent script. It never smears. I have been using BIC pens all my life and was never disappointed. At ĺess than 10 cents per pen, it is well worth the price.

I love these pens! Line is a little thicker than the standard Cristal pen, and this pen just seems to write smoother in general; less resistance on the paper. My only complaint is that I've had a couple leak ink, but overall, they're great pens.

These are good pens with good colors

I am a bit of a pen snob. I used to use Uni-ball Jetstream pens. But, then I saw the Bic Glide bold pens at an attractive price, loved them, and never looked back. Now, I see that the price is right on the other Bic pens. So, I am wondering if I could go even cheaper. So, I tried the Bic Glide Bold against the Bic Xtra Bold and the Xtra Life. Long story short, the pens are well named. The Glide pen is heavier and smoother and very easy to write with. The Xtra Bold is a very light pen which means it takes more effort to write with. But, the color is indeed bolder than the Glide. Also, the ink is blobbier than the Glide. The XtraLife on the other hand is lighter, more faint, and scratchier. The above is for black ink. I also compared the Xtra Bold Blue vs Black. The black ink is blobby and uneven. The blue ink is less much less blobby - fewer dots and streaks. And the lines are more even. So, here is where I stand. My #1 is the Bic Glide Bold. It’s fun to use and makes my writing look good. It will be my go-no for writing in general. My #2 is the Bic Xtra Bold in Blue. This will likely be a distant second because I mostly type so I don’t want writing to take effort. I might use these up along with cheap legal pads with thin paper. The others will be throwaway pens that I loan out, jot down quick notes with, and use for contrasting ink with capturing thoughts. I might also use the Xtra Life for drawing fainter lines on unlined paper until they either run out or are lost.

These are my favorite study pens. They make a nice thick, bold line, and write smoothly. They have an amazing feel and make studying a pleasure. I never knew what a difference a great pen could make.

WONDERFUL AND AMAZING PENS! Please don’t ever quit making them! I write all day, every day and I can not, and will not use any other pen! Every time someone else borrows my pen they ask where I got it from and try to steal it or buy it off of me. That’s how great they are! Please send me a few box of the blue! ;)

They are awesome for making notes on my journal. Colours are vibrant.

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

Impeccable avec épaisseur 1.6

Hopeless. None of the pens worked. All the refills were full of ink- but none of them worked. Sad. Very sad.
