Can someone tell me if these are the Hardhead Flair pens?

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tip still got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead" associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, about one a month.

Do not believe that the "Hardhead" Flair is still manufactured. You might inquire by actually calling Paper Mate, maybe they still make them out -of-country or something weird like that. You might look on Ebay. The ones I use and purchase are what I call the "Regular" Flair. With usage, the points wear down and widen.

They are stick ball handwriting. Great for young kids. I dislike the Times New Roman style, can mess up some kids. They try to make g's like a type writer then!

The ones I received are not Hoover, although they are labeled as such. They are printed with blue writing. I contacted Hoover and their response was that genuine Hoover Type Q bags have black writing. I'm returning mine.

We ordered these pens many months ago thinking we get two different purples and three different blues. This is just a very bad picture; the set contains the standard black, blue, red and green as well as purple, aqua and pink. Here is the picture:Pilot Precise V5 Roller Ball Stick Pen, Assorted Ink, Extra Fine, 7 per Pack

Yes they are, however, these were the worst brand of gel caps I ever bought. As I recall, I couldn't use many of them and just had to throw the whole batch out. Don't waste your money on these!!!

I am not sure if they are or not. I know my Stampin Up demonstrator had made a banner with these letters so it's possible they are.

The only mark I found was the number 611 on the bottom & they were mailed from VA. They are very nice hefty well made. They have plastic roller ball insert & seem to be good quality as do the screw on tops. These are the large ones & I plan to order the small ones as well.

No, they are not "... the very finest, thinnest lines ... almost the width of a hair ..." as one might have drawn when using mechanical art production tools available several decades ago. They are, however and quite simply, fine-line pens and nothing more. Let your touch be your guide.

Yes. They are Chinese made. Apparently the Cginese are equally obsessed with fountain pens and have set out to make them inexpensively. I have ordered twice. They are perfectly suitable substitutes for more expensive pens and in fact outperform my Lamy fountain pens. They are not a Mont Blanc however.

I don't know. The company is in Boulder City NV, but I do not know if the pens are made there.

They are not super fine - as I like fine nibs myself - for me they weren't too broad though - this is a little subjective so I don't want to mislead you. I was very pleased with these pens. Very nice quality for such a great price no less a bunch of them. They have a very heavy feel as well - something I really like also.

I write comments on student papers. These are heavy inked, so if you have a small script, then these might be too muddled. I have to force myself to write in large script when I use them. Instead of these I'd recommend the Pilot Razor pens. I've used these for years. I have two colors right now for my writing: brown and green. They work very well, but don't fly with them. They don't breathe well in elevation changes. I have several stained shirts that testify to that.

Yeah, they are printed (in white) on the caps. You could take black permanent marker and cover them though, or better yet cover it with a label. Hope this helps.

i think they are but I am not 100% sure. I purchased them for coupons so I didn't need to worry about them being archival quality. Have you sent a message to the seller?

I always thought they were but I'm not seeing it spelled out on the package. You can look at bobsredmill.com for more info. Good luck!

Yes, the colors are nice and bright! I really love these pens. The .7mm ones show up the best.
