Product Description
Featuring a Bauhaus-inspired design, the Jac Zagoory Beta Inkless Curve Pen uses technology that dates back to medieval times, when scholars used a silver tip to write their dissertations. As you write, the patented AXL-METAL tip glides across the page, leaving trails of metal that resemble the gray strokes of a pencil but are totally permanent and smudge-proof Read More

I personally have two of these pens, I call them "Thin" and "Thick" The one they are selling here is the "Thick one"

I've written here using a bunch of different pens.

As you can see, it is a bit light when compared to other usual means of writing, and it does give the impression it has been written using a pencil.

In direct light it will reflect a bit and seem more light in color, but this shot was done with a specific angle to highlight this and you won't usually see this effect / have a light directly above and look straight down like that. Overall, in my experiences, it has been fine on my leuchtturm1917 and I actually prefer the slightly faded color for my eyes.

random page of notes about a change of information with the government I have been carrying these two pens with me for the past 1/2 year and obviously they won't ever dry (like the felt tip) or break (like the H pencil, NOT shown here because I didn't have a sharpener) or run out. But they are a bit light in color, acceptable (for me) in everyday usage. I haven't actually written hard for any of the photos here, the underline is a little bit harder just because of the way you draw one. Hope this helps! P.S. if this happens to be the only pen on hand when you need to sign an official document, the person receiving it WILL get mad at you and suggest that HOW DARE YOU use a pencil to sign something :)

If there's one thing we know about medieval times, it's that it was the pinnacle of technological advancement.

I sadly really mean it when I say this, but it is a complete waste of money. It leaves super faint marks on paper since if you press it too hard you'll rip through most general note paper and even when you do use it on higher quality paper, the markings aren't dark enough and so superficial to leave me confident that they'd last the test of time. Will do sample pics when I get home from work if requested.

Holy crap! I completely forgot about this! So here's the "pen" (older version made of metal, but clearly the same thing) and my beat-up Moleskine which is a memento of a late friend of mine.

Pen to paper, no trickery here folks,

And the results. For reference, this all was shot on a Note8 with no flash or image editing.

So maaaaaaybe not the best writing tool on the planet. If you can see the tiny line of blue ink in the second picture, that was from a broad fountain pen (can't remember which) with a blue ink cartridge (not bottled ink). Sorry for the delay!

I've had mine for a couple days now, and unless I'm missing something, it's pretty much useless. The tip is smooth, but the line is so light that I'd be better off scratching indentions into the paper with my fingernail. The only way I can get visible marks is to go over the same spot several times, and even then, it's just entirely too light.
This is on several different kinds of white paper, for what it's worth. If I was using cream or yellow, I can't imagine you'd see anything at all.

Actually, it’s a pen with a metal nib (you can see videos on youtube when you type Inkless Pen) for more infos. It doesn’t leave anything on your finger, you can write under water, on any type of paper. It does last forever if, of course, you don’t write 24h a day with it 😉. You don’t get to refill it because there is no ink, it’s metal. It’s like writing with a stone.

Pencil / pen is a worthless implement for writing and will become a useless paper weight aswell. If you are looking for something to start the conversation as to "Where did you get this piece of BLANK?" then this is right up your alley. Save your money and spend it on something more substantial, like a bunch of Bics or #2 pencils.

Would be nice to see a sample of it writing. I have a similar product and it is hardly practical for writing...

This pen appears to be $30.95 from the retailer’s website: https://www.jzpen.com/products/the-beta-inkless-pen to confirm, is this the same pen you’re massdropping for $30.00 ?

Preston.BThose don't look exactly the same, I think the pen being dropped is this one: https://www.jzpen.com/collections/pens/products/beta-inkless-curve-pen which they're selling for $44.

Preston.BIt's the same tip, so it works the same way. But it's not the same handle shape or materials. Regardless, this is one I'm skipping. $30 for a pen you can't refill, and one that can't be used for legal documents. I couldn't use it at work, either, as the writing I do there is all legal/medical in nature. Blue or black only, no wispy metallic grays.
