We bought a few boxes of the Bic Atlantis 1.2 pens for our office. They put small globs of ink on the page that smear frequently. It's especially bad for those of us who print. The more strokes you make picking up and putting it back down on the paper, the worse the globbing gets. I don't like the way the cap fits on the end of the pen when you're writing, either. (Small thing, I know.) They have a rubberized grip that is comfortable to write with, and they write fairly smoothly. But, the globbing is a deal-breaker.
