Does anyone have a good alternative to the G2 pens? They’re great pens, but the ink is so thick and wet that it smears too easily and frequently for me. I’ve been on the hunt for something nearly as good.
Pentel Energel with the metal clip (the plastic version breaks too easily), with my second favorite Uni-ball signo 207.
I'm a fan of the Schmidt p9000 fine. It's a g2 size refill. I'm a nurse and my facility still has paper charts for certain day to day things, so I write quite a bit. Definitely recommend a try. They're around $2.50 each.
Maybe get a smaller point, like extra fine instead of fine. I think .5 is the finest point they make.
They also have a 0.38mm but the point is so sharp that it can easily tear pages. Definitely reduces the wetness factor though!
