When you're finished using an ink pen, do you put the cap back on/click it to retract?
I'm a little particular about it. Yes, that pen will sit there on the pad of paper for the next two years without incident just like it has done for the past two years.
But it will sit there retracted.
My favorite everyday pens are retractable Pilot G2 gel pens (with comfort grip!). I always retract them when I'm done. I have bad dreams about pools of leaky ink.
