I am left handed. My hand tends to smudge the paper. Is this set a quick dry? If not, could you point me to another set with assorted colors that is?

It won't smear. I'm left handed as well and love the boldness. It's not instand dry but close. The 1.6mm bold puts a lot more ink on the paper, so it does not last anywhere near as long as the original Cristal. I write a fair amount and I get about 10 days only out of one pen. If you like it, I'd say stock up. I would consider this on par with the papermate 700rt.

How do you turn off the secret ink bomb feature? it's spooging ink everywhere.

This has happened to me a couple of times and I toss the pen. As inconvenient as it can be, I still love the distinction of the ink....it’s so clearly evident. I do, however, suggest informing Bic of the problem of ink oozing.

Is there an orange colored pen?

There is no orange. Purple, turquoise, light blue, black, dark blue, pink, lime green and red.
