The steel line of pens follows a good, better, best hierarchy 3-series, 4-series, and 7-series respectively. The benefits of the new formula, in addition to a smoother writing experience, was more vibrant colors and an option to create more nuanced hues.
In 2017, the Z-Grip line of retractable gel pens was transitioned to low viscosity ink, aka advanced ink.
Zebra products are available across the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Singapore, Korea, and Japan. Other product lines include Z-Grip (ballpoint pens), Surari (hybrid ink ballpoint pens), Sarasa Dry (gel pens), Sharbo (multi-pens), Zensations (art products), Mildliner (double ended creative markers), Zebrite (double ended highlighters), and Zazzle (liquid highlighters). Zebra's line of pens and pencils include "The Original" F-301 and the M-301, which have stainless steel barrels and textured grips. Zebra products exhibited on a booth in Japan, 2019 The 1990s and 2000s decade came with new subsidiaries in Canada, Indonesia, China, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Zebra opened a subsidiary in the United States (1982). ĭuring the 1970s decade, Zebra marketed its first lines of markers, including brush-tip models, opening a new factory in Tokyo (1979). Four years later, the company renamed "Zebra Co., Ltd", with Hideaki Ishikawa becoming president of the firm. In 1959 Zebra launched its first ballpoint pen manufactured. In 1945, the Zebra facilities were destroyed during a bomb attack in World War II, but those would be reconstructed during the 1950s. Zebra stripes resembling calligraphic pen strokes may also have been a reason for the name. Ishikawa thought Zebra was an appropriate name because his goal was to build a business culture that resembled a family and zebras have a strong herding instinct. However, I think it is the most potent combination.Tokumatsu Ishikawa had begun to produce home-made nibs in 1897, until he established its own business in 1914, registering the name "Zebra" as a trademark.
It’s produced by a third party at JPY 800, which is far more expensive than Blen itself. I think JETSTREAM is the best permanent ink, so I use a special adapter that allows us to use JETSTREAM refills with Blen’s body. Ink comparison between Blen and JETSTREAM on Midori MD notebookĪs you can see, Blen is a little blurry, but the JETSTREAM is smooth, and the colour is more vibrant. But the quality itself is not outstanding level as it sometimes gets a little fainted. Ink is not so good, not so badīlen uses Emulsion Ink which is a mixture of permanent and non-permanent ink developed by Zebra. But for long term use, a black one is recommended unless you buy new ones frequently. It’s certainly getting a little darker than its body colour, but not so noticeable at all. I’ve been using it for about a month by carrying it in my backpack pocket, not even in a pencil case. I’ve seen some of the pens’ grips used by other users had a yellow discolouration deterioration over time. The white body is quite stylish to look at, but its grip seemed vulnerable to dirt and stain at first as it has pure white colour.
Things I Noticed White body is stain-resistant than expected Here’s a video showing how it compares to a normal pen. This small part, which can be seen in the photo, holds the tip firmly in place when released, thus preventing it from shaking. Image source: The main reason for this stability is a small part built into the pen’s nib. As the name suggests, the pen’s unique internal structure ensures that the pen tip remains stable while we are writing. The name “Blen” comes from the Japanese word “Burenai”, meaning “unshakeable”. What Makes It Special? Why it’s called Blen? So it is unlikely that we can exchange it for another refill unless you use the adapter mentioned later. The refill has a unique size, both in length and thickness. Refills are available in black, red, and blue colours, with two thicknesses: 0.5mm and 0.7mm. It is available in five different colour combinations. It is undoubtedly the most stylish pen in its price range. At first glance, it doesn’t look like an inexpensive pen in the $1 class, with its minimalist look and elimination of unnecessary design.
