I like these ballpoint retractable pens. I love that they are multi colors. When taking notes I like to use different colors. These are such an easy write, not too heavy feeling, doesn't skip when using them. The pens last a long time.

These are good pens, always writes the first time and are very smooth. I normally write in blue, but my son wanted lots of colors (especially orange) so the colored pack is great! They do take a few seconds to dry just like all gel pens, but no more than other kinds. It was also great to find a colored pack that isn’t ridiculously expensive, I’ve used these for years and I’m happy with them.

Great Pens

These pens are great and long-lasting. I have used these pens for a little more than a year and they are still working and still giving me the same vibrant colors. They are great if you are a student that takes a lot of notes for classes. Personally, I use these pens a lot when I am taking notes in my classes so that I can distinguish between different pieces of information. The grip is great making it easy to hold and it doesn't hurt your fingers. The pen tip also moves smoothly and it does not smear when you write, making it perfect if you are planning to write a lot at one time. You also would not have to worry about smearing it into other words with your hand since they dry fast. As other reviews have said, the ink is very consistent so there are no blotches of ... MoreThese pens are great and long-lasting.

Ink Joy medium pt. Color of ink matched barrel!

These Papermate Ink Joy ballpoint pens work fine. My only hesitation was wondering if color of barrel would be the color of the ink. I recommend the company put on the package that color of ink is color of the bbbarrel. This is never a given. It should be stated on the package! Thank you.

Inkjoy Best in Class

Inkjoy pens write so smooth and last a long time. What I love most is the affordability while having quality performance. I read some of the poor reviews and I have never experienced anything other than quality with Inkjoy. You won’t regret the purchase.

Lightweight pen

Papermae's Inkjoy pen is feels like a luxury pen. Immediately I knew I would fall in love with this pen. Right away as I used it, it started to write. I've had many pens that you need to 'get started' before they even have any ink out. I like knowing that I can have a pen thats primed and ready to go. Especially if someone asks to borrow a pen, I do not have to feel embarrassed I'll know that its reliable and trustworthy to work. Its sleek design with a comfortable grip. Its not too bulky so its pleasant to use. I love that it writes easily without skipping. I like that the color of the pen is bold and a rich color. It does not look faded when I use it, like some other brands. It retracts so no worries about it leaving a mess anywhere when you take it on the go.

Once you start using them, there is no comparison. The great part is these are affordable without diminishing the quality.

Problem with click mechanism

3 of the 8 pens have problems with the click mechanism. One feels like it's rubbing against something and will lower, but it isn't smooth; one is difficult to click but finally gets there although it is definitely tedious to deal with; and the third won't lower the ballpoint pen beyond half way and gets stuck there. I've never had so much trouble with new pens.

Really good ballpoint pen

Although it's 1.0mm however it writes neatly and the ink flows smoothly and never bleeds over the paper. I'm using it for study and work. Modest but practical design. The grip is comfortable. I'd definitely recommend this pen.

Smooth consistent writing

I honestly don’t usually go for ballpoint pens because I felt they usually don’t write very well or consistent but these work really well. For starters I love that they put a tip of these before you use them so the ink doesn’t leak or dry out of the tip of the pen and it pops of when you first use it or you and pull it off. I was surprised on how well the wrote, usually with pens you have to go over the first letter you write because the ink doesn’t come out right away but this flowed nicely that I didn’t have to go over any letters to get it to show up and was nice and dark and didn’t get too heavy it was nice and consistent. This also dries fast so you don’t risk smudging it if your writing. I like how dark the ink is to make stand out. The pen itself is pretty ... MoreI honestly don’t usually go for ballpoint pens because I felt they usually don’t write very well or consistent but these work really well.

The pen itself is pretty comfortable , it does have a grip that has a slight cushion and makes it easy to hold and the tip is retractable so you don’t have to worry about dry ink or missing lids. This is a nice pen and would highly recommend.

They were okay

I was so excited to get these after I saw that they had 4.8/5 stars. When I open them out of the package I tested all of them and the light blue seemed to barely be giving any ink. I had to press really hard for the color to actually be visible. The dark blue ink pen had the spring messed up inside of it. I actually had to disassemble the pen and fix the spring inside to even be able to use the dark blue. I continued to use them to write out all my bills for the month And the pens continued to Randomly stop giving ink at all. I definitely will not be using them again.
