Paper MateInkJoy Gel Pens | Medium Point (0.7mm) | Black Ink | 12 Count

These were recommended to me so I bought a set and loved them. I used almost every colour until it ran out and had no problems whatsoever. I thought I'd found my favourite pens for life.When my brother asked for ideas for my Christmas present I didn't hesitate to ask him for another set of these pens. I added them to my Amazon wish list from exactly the same link I had used to buy them. Although my original set had arrived in a paper and plastic wrapper as shown in the image, the set my brother bought came loose in a plastic bag with no packaging. A bit odd, but I thought it was to reduce packaging.I'm only just starting to use the new set and have found that several (4 or 5 out of 7 so far) only write a few lines and then stop working. There's plenty of ink left but it's not getting through to the rollerball. I'm so disappointed! I'd be happy to buy another set if they work, but will probably have to find a different supplier.So I'd give an easy 5 stars for the set that work, and 1 for the set that don't.

I do a fair bit of writing for my personal and professional life. For this reason I not only go through pens and pencils fast but also am on the lookout for comfortable pens to use for longer periods (2-3hrs continuously). I am very satisfied with these pens and can recommend them, especially to those who get pain in the fingers, because my mum who has arthritis loves these too.They arrived in an open packaging and the seller explained they come in wholesale which explains the much reduced price than the market one. Im delighted and a very satisfied customer because I know they are new as all pens have the plastic dot at the roller ball tip to prevent buildup of the gel which affects the rollball gel flow when writing. Additionally the delivery is free and sent immediately.Definitely will bookmark this seller and recommend him for other purchases in the future. In turn, he has a customer for life.

Some colors from one set got dry really quick.

i have bought these pens in 2020 and they still work! they are very nice to write with and they leave your book looking nice and neat. i would recommend these pens for ages 11 and up . I have bought another set for my youngest child. Pls do not listen to all the bad reviews, these pens are the best i have bought so far

Lovely pens - my fave brand. Great, prompt delivery.

These pens are great.However, 2 big issues.1. The ink. The ink runs out like crazy, I’m on my third set of these pens in 2 or so years, it’s crazy!2. Dirt. The material (the rubber coating) picks up dirt very easily. I recommend, if you’re taking them to places (eg school or work), that you clean them regularly as they’ll naturally pick up dirt quickly. This may not be an issue, but they get torn very easily and look aged very quickly (6 months or so, about the same time the ink runs out if you’re using them daily). I understand you can purchase refills for ink by the way, but the pens are so aged and before, the clicker on the end doesn’t work or is stiff.However, these are AMAZINGLY SMOOTH! They write beautifully, and I have to say, they’re my favourite pens. (Hence why I keep buying them!)In the photo, these are pens from December. I use them for school a lot.Colours are amazing. I don’t use the brown much but that’s just me! There’s 4 blues, they’re all very different shades though. The 2 greens are different too.The colour on the case of the pen is the exact same as the ink.I understand these don’t look worn, but lockdown hit in January so I wasn’t moving them from my desk much. Mark my word - if you’re keeping them in a pencil case or a bag etc, they’ll age, wear, and the rubber will change and become a darker colour in 4-7 months. I’ve purchased these 3 times!

This is my third pack of these pens because I cant gear the thought of ever running out! I am studying a language and use a colour coding system in my note taking and it's been a struggle to find a pen that has bright enough colours, a smooth flow, does not bleed through pages, and fine enough for when I am writing new or complex characters, that need to be very clear. These are the first pens I have tried that have ticked all the boxes.The colours are mostly bright and vibrant, or in the case of the dark colours, rich and deep, I am a particular fan of the purple, which has become my main note taking colour. The pens are very comfortable to hold and being retractable there is thankfully no cap that could get lost. The ink is deposited onto the paper evenly and smoothly and looks great. I use minimum 70gsm paper and have had no bleed through or ghosting. However, I have not tried them on lower quality paper so can't comment on that. The nib is fine enough that I can write complex small characters that I can read back easily, but not too fine, to the point where it is either scratchy or uncomfortable to use.If you like making colour coded notes, or journalling, or hand writing letters, I totally recommend these pens. For what they are, they are not expensive, and they also last for ages.

Great for school and work
