Artist Review: Uniball Eye Rollerball Pen
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 04. 2016
- Uniball Eye is a great pen for sketching. The ink is waterproof and fadeproof. It also comes in different line weights, 0.38, 0.5 and 0.7 (aka Ultra Micro, Micro and Fine). In some places, it's sold as Uniball Vision.

You have no idea how much I love this pen
I've been using Uni-ball pens for over 30 years. Back then in the US they were labeled as Eberhard-Faber, then later Sanford, and now Newell/Rubbermaid. I originally used them because the micro point was excellent for filling in dental insurance forms. And every patient who wrote with the pen remarked on how smooth it wrote. Although I have recently gotten into fountain pens, they are hardly foolproof, and I always have my trusty Uni-ball as a backup.-
Can you tell me how long does uni-ball last?
@@Walii1404 There's no real way to determine that. It depends on how much you write. I guess mine lasted a month or two. I still stand by my review, but I have moved on to gel pens, specifically the Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.7. The ink is waterproof on paper, yet removes easily from the skin. And it flows even more smoothly than the Uni-Ball. It can be purchased on Amazon.
His reviews are so satisfying to watch.
I love the uniball pens! I got a couple of them. I also like that they are waterproof.
Which one do you have? Can you please mention the full name?
Uni-ball eye, the grey coloured one in the video, actually I'm holding one in my hand right now.
How to refill uniball eye fine pen please make on video
@@prittirai6258 I don't think they are refillable. But the air does open
@@prittirai6258 They are non refillable. Rather buy Pilot V5 or V7 with cartridge.
I have the black, light green and blue they're amazing you have no idea how smooth it writes!
3:55 You are good enough to work for Tesla !
Thank you - you're a star! Everything I needed to know. I was wondering if the Eye was an equivalent to the Uniball Vision and Uniball UK said not, but you're an artist who uses it so having seen your demo I am now convinced you are correct.
I really like this pen. The dark ink contrasts more than a bic pen. It writes so smoothly and feels great
Can you tell me how long does uni-ball last?
wow.. loved the perspective sketch in the end, to showcase the capabilities of the pen!
I can really see why you like uni-ball so much. The ink is consistent and smooth. They offer a variety of tip and line sizes and the ink is true black. I prefer for ink to be true black. There are some pens like Prismacolors which show up as more of a charcoal gray.
It's my understanding that uni-ball Super Ink was designed to counter check and document washing. Little did Mitsubishi pencil know that they were creating a fantastic art tool as well! (°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ᴗ°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ )
+James Barton Yeah, not many pen makers actually put waterproof ink into their disposable pens. So Uniball is quite special in that regard.
@@teohyc Mitsubishi even makes Cars, Electronics, pens And pencils
I was able to get the fine one on offer when I made an art pen order from a site here in the UK and was glad I didn't pay full price for it. Personally I find that it bleeds a lot when I draw. I have much more success with Muji gel pens. My fave is the 0.38 in black for drawing.
I grew up drawing with only pilot and uniball, I tried other "drawing pens" but they weren't for me, I have some and use them sometimes but I'll always prefer the pilots and uniballs.
Art stores used to sell them when I was younger but all they sell now is felt tip fine liners.
Thank you very much ! I was about to buy the 0.7 now I'm gonna buy the 0.5
Uniball pens makes writing easier. I get wrist pain when I used to write with BIC medium ball point pens. Uniball gel pens takes stress off. Love 'em.
That was very helpful, because I need such waterproff pen. Althought I had the simillar problem like Nichole from previous comments, the ink in my uniball pen which I had for some time always smeard whan I applied liquid on it. But it might be a different type of uniball, I must try out the ones that you recomend.
+lol244224 Not all Uniball pens use waterproof ink.
O.k I loved these rollerballs for years , I am just wondering can we just buy the same exact refill as used in the mitsubishi uni-balls ?
Just started using the uniball rollerballs. I bought both eye-micro (0.5 mm) and eye-fine (0.7 mm). Although, the micro is great for handwriting when writing slow but it is awful when writing fast. I prefer to use and will use the eye-fine for my CAIE exams. I need a faster pace to write and understandable handwriting whether it is good or bad. Really recommend the Uniball eye-fine UB-157.
Thanks man! Dreading having to write stuff for college lol but having the right pen will surely help 😊
I’d like to see someone take these apart, I want to know what’s going on inside the grip area, mine started with the lines but eventually turned black and my pen started leaking a lot
Very helpful! I’m into sketching with ballpens right now so this really gives me an idea when I buy.
I have other Uniball pen reviews on my blog. Check them out at parkablogs.com
Teoh Yi Chie will check them out thanks!
Thanks so much for doing this video! Very helpful.
+Savicma Thanks 😀
All people will change their handwriting into neat and smooth when they write with this pen
Your video helped me a lot! Thanks!
Good review. So, to be clear, there is no difference between Vision and Eye except the label?
هل يتم تعبئة القلم - وما الأفضل عند انتهاء الحبر هل يتم تعبئته أم شراء قلم جديد
For an avid writer like me, I just love it! Also my last name is Newell, which I’m pretty sure is something in America about pens
My new uni ball eye pen wont work. I meant its ink just does not come out when i write. I know i should let it go but it happened twice to me and i wish there is sth i could do to fix them.
those are my favorite
+lura garcia I like the needle point. Too bad there aren't much line weight compared to the roller ball
I have a Uniball vision and it is not waterproof. I waited about 3 minutes and it still smeared, I applied heat with heat gun, still smeared. The pen does say Uniball Vision Elite. Maybe this one is not waterproof?
in some countries, the uniball vision elite used to not be waterproof. I see some stores where I am living (Northern United States) that sell both the waterproof uniball vision elite AND the non-waterproof, older versions at a slightly lower price. I have also bought uniball vision and signo pens here and for some reason, I find many issues. If you're living in America or somewhere nearby, maybe the best bet for you would be to get the Uniball Jetstream or Gel Impact, I think it is called. I find those to the the smoothest of the newer pens sold in this country.
I, personally, like the 0.5 non-needle version the best. I tend to push pretty hard (use a fair amount of pressure) when I write and the "needle" version consistently skipped while writing/drawing. Anyone else find this?
السلام عليكم، شكرا لك.
هل يمكن فتح هذا القلم؟
Very useful information. Thanks for this.
+Sharon Nolfi Thanks 😀
Great video. I know this is Tommy Kanes favorite sketching pen. It's weird how the middle size is a needle and .38 has a tip shape more similar to the .7. Lastly, with these pens, the longer you wait before water color the better.
So, CanI use it for Inking my drawings then watercolour them? Pls reply it would be helpful😊
NoviceArt yes you can
@@ecksdog Are they opaque?
NoviceArt yes. I think they are the best rollerball to use for watercolor line work.
Can you tell me how long does uni-ball last?
Great video!
I love the uniball eye pens!!!!😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
I got this pen, and the only thing that I dislike about it is that it is quite 'rough' on downward strokes. I don't know what is causing this, but there is a slight, but noticeable difference in the feedback.
Probably some problem with the tip.
Thank you for the video.. could you suggest me some affordable waterproof inks to refill the unibal eye pen??
It's best to get a cheap fountain pen and refill. It's much easier. You can research inks here www.parkablogs.com/picture/comparison-of-different-black-inks
I ordered a 10 pack of micros(0.5) today, let's hope they're good!😁 If anyone is curious, it cost me about $11 for 10 and shipping added about $2 (amazon)
Hey Teoh...currently, what is your favorite office supply pen to draw with?
+Jason Mullins Uniball Air, Uniball Signo Gelstick and Uniball Vision in that order. All relatively affordable and good. Waterproof when dry.
Thanks for that Teoh
I love uniball pens my favourite is the eye and air
Thanks for the video!
I love the fine pens, been using them since secondary school, chewed through a bunch of them in my GCSEs. In working life I always have one on me, of course people keep stealing them. But hey they're cheap enough I don't care
Hi I have a question
Did the uni ball eye pens scan alright for your gcses
Lol had this one in my pencil case didn’t know how good it was but know I use it more
in my country we have 0.7 and 0.5 but no 0.38 or needlepoint ones 😭
Same here
hi Teoh. i bought this pen earlier because of your recommendation and when i tried it. it was really great. but then i left it after a while (with the cap closed tight and pen is in horizontal position) and when i tried to use it again, the ink won't flow out. any idea why?
+Toni O I'm not sure. Try scribbling to see if you can get the ink flowing. I've read similar problems with other users. But so far, I've personally not seen such issues.
Teoh Yi Chie alright. thanks!
One thing I noticed while using this pen is that when I make lines by using a rular/scale, the ink bleeds and spread In a little *patch*.. At first I thought that something was wrong with the paper but it bleeds on every paper.. If someone knows what I am talking about, please guide me 🙏
On every same type of paper?
Thank you sir, for showing micro to fine range of uniball pens. Jussojuan
I am from india 🇮🇳 and I have the same uniball eye pen ...... Love to japan 🇯🇵 from india
I have the uniball eye rollerball micro pen I want to know if have refil of this pen
It’s not worth the effort to refill. Just get a cheap fountain pen
Have you tried the Vision Elite? I wondered if any difference with those.
+ecksdog Writing experience is the same. It is a rollerball. Pen body design is different, that's all.
+ecksdog Writing experience is the same. It is a rollerball. Pen body design is different, that's all.
I am confused which varient to buy fine or micro??..I don't like dark colour writing
Fine is probably a 0.5. Micro is 0.3. Depends on how thick you want the line.
Best pens, worldwide for the price. Anyone who wants to start to draw smooth and no drying out, should start with one of these
How i refill uniball ub-185 or Uniball Eye Rollerball Pens thanks pls rply soon , i am in the middle in my project and the dead line will be tommorow :).
You have to pull out the front. Here's an article of me refilling this kind of pens www.parkablogs.com/content/refilling-pilot-v5-v7-hi-tecpoint-rolling-ball-pens
I no longer refill these pens because it's not worth the effort.
I have uni ball eye UB 157 Blue Fine. I want to know how long will it last? I have exams in a month and I'm thinking of writing with this pen but I also want to practice with this and I'm worried that it'll dry out during my exams please help!
Not sure how long it will last. Should be quite long. Anyway, you can see how much ink is left inside through the pen on the side.
thanx
How can you remove this pen writing please help me
I have 32 of the uniball pens will they dry out fast over time with minimal use ??
These will not dry out
Can you tell me how long does uni-ball last?

I don't think so
I love pilot pen very much
Love it
How to refill uniball eye fine pen please make on video
It's easier to get a cheap fountain pen on eBay and refill that
I Love Japanese but I'm indian so i bought the Fine and Ultra Micro but the Ultra Micro is just a little bit faint than the Fine. I have the Uni-Ball eye
Ultra micro is discontinued. From where did you get ultra micro (0.38 mm). Or do you mean the micro (0.5mm)?
I have so many of them. But I don't really use them. Imma start using them tbh.
Can you tell me how long does uni-ball last?
You can speak spanish, me gustan mucho esas pluas, pero no te entiendo
I am a fan of uniball. But in indian currency they are very expensive for school work. Considering that the lower ranges are not refillable.
+Ahana Banerjee The Uniball Gelstick is the cheapest with waterproof ink www.parkablogs.com/content/review-uni-ball-signo-gelstick-ink-pens
i want to buy ultramicro
I think there is maybe an inconsistency with Uniball's quality from country to country. I have some pens from two or three years ago that are uniball that worked wonderfully. They were smooth and had no issues. However, I've bought the uniball signo gel stick, vision elite, and jetstream. For the entire box of 12 signo pens, there were many skipping problens and it only worked if you wrote with much pressure. Also, the ink was not very dark, almost a medium gray. For the Vision, I found that all 12 of them felt almost scratchy. It seemed like the area covering the rollerball was covering too much of it. The pen also often skipped and had inconsistent saturation of ink as I was writing. This was an issue if the pen was held even at the slightest angle, but writing or drawing while holding it completely vertically was very smooth. I just bought the jetstream and have not yet had any issues. I bought a pack of three. I've been tempted to get the uniball air, but I'm worried that I will run into these issues. I tried a pilot precise v5 so maybe I will like the uniball vision needle
+Rebecca Nelson That's weird. I thought these pens are all made in Japan then shipped to other countries. The quality should not be so inconsistent. Hmmmmm
+Teoh Yi Chie Yeah, I'm not really sure... I hope I am just unlucky, but when I look at reviews on amazon for the Signo Gel Stick (07) a handful of them say that they had the same issues I did.
Can you tell me how long does uni-ball last?
How do i fix uniball eye ultra micro UB-150-38 not writing this pen is old i don't know where it came from i just found it in our house
Edit: it looks like it still has ink in it and i don't want to risk using the lighter trick
Maybe just get a new pen. It's not expensive.
@@teohyc yeah i can only affor 10 cents pens in my country
What about Pilot? Did you try it?
Pilot doesn’t have waterproof ink
Great review!
I feel that it's bleeding on the Moleskine sketch paper.
So Teoh..for the uni ball eye "vision"..do you prefer the rollerball or needle and why.
I prefer needle. I like the extended pin tip. It allows me to see more of the drawing beneath. But they both perform the same and almost as smooth.
Gotcha! Thanks
Does this pen not ring in the Macafen?
What?
@@teohyc Sorry, I am not good at English because I am Korean.I asked if the pen you used didn't spread to the design Maca pens
does it have an ink refill?
Not for this
I loved the pizza wheels
How do you refill it?
It's a disposable pen. Get a fountain pen if you want to refill. Easier.
How to refill ink in it
Not sure if this can be refilled. Probably not worth the effort to do so. Just get a cheap fountain pen on eBay.
How to change its refill
This pen doesn’t use refill
Ok thx
can't we fill ink on them?
Nowadays I don’t recommend refilling disposable pens because you can find fountain pens at very affordable prices
Can we fill this pen with ink ourselves?
Possibly but it will be a hassle to refill
@@teohyc I'm filling in and using the other but same but thin-tipped one, but I haven't tried it, so I'd appreciate it if you'd take a video and share it, please try one.
Guys these are some real deal
The uniball vision black is prob the blackest black pen for the price
can this pen be refilled?
+Ressurected Bishwarup If you pull out the front, I guess you can refill it. But it's probably not worth the effort.
Is the Vision Needle you used 0.5mm or 0.7mm?
0.5
which is better for writing
This is good for writing
@@teohyc which one you have told 3 pens
How to refill them ?
I don't recommend refilling disposable pens anymore because you can get fountain pens at very affordable prices nowadays.
@@teohyc I personally don't prefer fountain pens these rollerballs are great
I I please make a steel body to take these as refills
Get a fountain pen for easy refills
I write with this pen in Pakistan in 60PKR
There is a color green
how to refill this pen ???
+Tejasv Maheshwari You have to pull out the front. It's not worth the effort. Just go buy a fountain pen that is easier to refill, e.g. LAMY
thnx
Tejasv Maheshwari don't buy fountain. Stay with uniball I guarantee you it never dries and is water proof and it lasts for years
Uniball eye Fine is the best
Have you ever lived in Liberia? Your accent is interesting
I've not been to Liberia. I'm from Singapore
In my school times only rich kid can afford this kind of pen now I am rich and using this😂
