The following is an AI transcript, if anything seems weird, refer to the actual video:

Introducing the new Uni Zento lineup. The Zento uses a new ink, the newly developed Zento ink, for a stress-free, soft writing experience. Cushioning ingredients act as a buffer between the ball and paper. Compared to Uni's conventional water-based ballpoint pens, it reduces writing friction by approximately 40%. Pigment particles within the ink suppress the spread of the ink, resulting in clean lines without bleeding or show-through. It is water-resistant.

The ZENTO Flow is not the highest end of this lineup, but it is the highest of the inexpensive options. From left to right, we have agate, jade, blue, and hematite. The pen comes in 0.38 mm and 0.5 mm. Refilling the pen is simple, and you can decide whether or not you want to refill with 0.38 or 0.5. So, depending on the size you pick originally, you are not going to be restricted to that tip size going forward. The ZENTO Flow has a nice body weight of 14 grams. Let's swatch the ink for you. Here you can see the Zento has a conical tip, and this liquid gel ink is so, so smooth. I absolutely love writing with the Zento. The ZENTO Flow body has been my favorite lately. Refills are available in black, blue, and red ink, and of course, in both 0.38 and 0.5 tip sizes.


The Uni ZENTO Standard body is made up of calming colors. From left to right, we have 0.38 cloud, sea, lavender, adobe, and 0.5 ivory, canary, mist, and coastal. This pen doesn't have a metal grip like you see in the Uni ZENTO Flow, but it does hold the same Uni Zento refills.


The big hot shot of the Zento lineup is definitely the ZENTO Signature. This pen feels like no other. The cap is satisfyingly magnetic. It writes so smoothly. It's just a really, really nice metal-bodied pen. The 0.38 mm comes in the silver body, and the 0.5 mm is available in the black body. You can refill with either tip size, so it's really best to pick the body color that you prefer, and then you can always swap your refill size later. Let's do another close-up swatch so that you can see just how nice and smooth and bold this Zento ink is. I'm going to give you some more Signature body close-ups so you can really see what the Zento Signature body is like.


Let's do a body length comparison between the Signature and the Flow, and then of course when it's posted. While the overall max diameter of the Signature is thicker, where you actually grip on both of them is just under 11 mm. They're practically the same where you actually grip. The weight on the Signature is heavier at 22 grams, and the weight on the Flow is 14 grams.


And finally, we have the ZENTO Basic, which just like the Zento refills, comes in your choice of red, black, or blue ink in 0.38 or 0.5 mm. Here's the body of the Basic compared to the body of the Flow. And you can see that the body of the Basic is very similar to the body of the Zento Standard. As always, if you have any questions about the Zento lineup, please let us know those questions below, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
