Worth the Hype? A Look at Two Uni Zento Gel Pens

0Uni / Uniball's new "Zento" gel pen appeared out of nowhere, at least to me. Didn't they just release the Uni One? While the explanations and descriptions of all the various inks in the Uni line can seem convoluted at times, the Zento IS different, and as you'll see in this video, the ink has a matte texture that's distinct from the Uni One's dark glossy black. The Zento has supposedly been formulated for a cushioned, "low-friction" writing experience, with minimal feathering or bleedthrough (I've experienced none). Today I do a short walkthrough of two Zento models, the standard $3 gel pen and the slightly upgraded "Flow" that includes a metal barrel. And no, like almost everyone else, I've not yet been able to get my hands on the capped Zento "Signature".... Stay tuned. 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Uni One vs. Uni Zento Construction 01:47 Zento Flow vs Zento Standard 03:00 Writing Samples of Uni One vs. Uni Zento 05:25 My Thoughts and Preferences You can purchase the Uni Zento Standard directly from our store: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-curated-shop/uni-zento-standard-5mm-and-38mm-sizes We also have the Uni Zento Flow: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-curated-shop/uni-zento-standard-5mm-and-38mm-sizes-pz4fw And yes, we will try to get the Zento Signature if we can!
