Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm), Black, 12 Count - Teacher Supplies, Journaling, Note-Taking, Writing

As a teacher, I am incredibly picky about my writing utensils, and these 0.7mm Medium Point Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens are my absolute holy grail. I use them daily in my classroom for everything from grading papers and lesson planning to sketching out charts on the whiteboard easel. They deliver a bold, beautiful line that makes writing genuinely enjoyable. The Good: Flawless, Smooth Writing and a Total Teacher Essential There is a reason Paper Mate Flairs have a legendary status in the education world. The medium felt tip glides across paper effortlessly without any skipping, scratching, or dragging. The black ink is incredibly rich, dark, and pigment-heavy, which makes my comments and grades stand out perfectly on student worksheets. The design is also top-tier. The point doesn’t easily mush down under heavy pressure, which is a massive plus when you're racing through a mountain of grading. They dry almost instantly on standard paper, meaning no annoying ink smudges on my hand or across the pages as I write. Having a 12-count box of just black pens is incredibly convenient, ensuring I always have a fresh one ready to go in my desk drawer. Something to Keep in Mind: They Will Leak Through Cheap Paper The only major caveat—and something to be aware of if you work with a lot of standard school supplies—is that the ink is incredibly juicy, which means it will leak and bleed through thin paper. If you are writing on cheap notebook paper, thin copy paper, or standard student worksheets, you are definitely going to see the ink ghosting through heavily to the backside of the page. It’s not a design flaw—it's just the nature of a high-quality felt tip pen—but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you or your students plan on writing on both sides of a single sheet of paper. Final Verdict Even with the inevitable bleed-through on thinner paper, these are still hands-down the best daily pens for any classroom. They write beautifully, last a long time, and look incredibly professional. If you want a smooth, bold writing experience that elevates your daily teacher routine, this 12-count pack is worth every single penny!

I LOVE THESE PENS. I love a thick/bold look, but need something that can be a regular pen. I didn't know they sold in black. When I found the box of only black - I had to buy. Some are smoother than others, but once you have used them a little bit, they become more enjoyable for my liking. The color is great and you can see through the other side of the paper but not bleed through like a sharpie. I have been using a lot and the ink lasts longer than a regular gel ink pen for me. I love these pens!

As a prolific writer, premium paper and high-quality writing instruments are absolute necessities for me. That is why I always choose Paper Mate Flair for my daily writing and journaling. The felt tip retains its shape perfectly over time, which makes my handwriting look beautiful and clean.Writing feels effortless with these pens. The 0.7mm medium point is excellent for writing in medium-sized notebooks. It delivers a fine, precise line while still providing great volume and character to the text. A huge plus for journaling is that the ink generally does not bleed through the pages. While performance always depends on the paper quality, these pens handle standard pages beautifully without ruining the backside.After testing countless marker pens, I can confidently say that Paper Mate Flair is the absolute best for daily use. You can buy multi-color packs or stick to a specific color depending on your needs. The full variety packs are fantastic. These pens are highly versatile and perfect for kids, adults, school, professional work, or university. Highly recommended!

I bought these for school, and the Paper Mate Flair pens continue to be one of those reliable staples that never disappoint. The vivid purple color is bold without being overwhelming, and it stands out clearly on worksheets, planners, and notes. It’s bright enough to catch attention but still professional enough for everyday use. The medium 0.7mm tip gives that classic Flair feel — smooth, controlled, and consistent. There’s no scratchiness on the page, and the ink flow stays even from the first stroke to the last. One thing I appreciate about Flair pens in general is that they don’t bleed through most notebook or printer paper, and this set is no exception. You get that felt‑tip look without the mess. The caps snap on securely, the barrels are comfortable to hold for long writing sessions, and the ink dries quickly enough to avoid smudging, even for left‑handed writers. As a 12‑pack, it’s great value for school use — plenty to last through the year, or to stash in different bags, desks, and classrooms. If you’re looking for a dependable felt‑tip pen with vibrant color and smooth performance, these are exactly what you expect from Paper Mate Flair.

I absolutely love these pens! While I do use the red color the most, I also highly recommend the multi-colored ones as well. As an educator, these are fantastic to use. They do not bleed through paper, and they don't smear. A must-have if you work in an office setting.

Flair pens are a must have for any teacher. I’ve always used them. This will be year 37 teaching!

Great marker pens except the ones I got came a bit dried up.

Best pens and great value!

These are our favourite pens to write with - nothing else compares and they are currently super hard to find in stores. Very happy with quality.

Je les recommande ils sont super.

Love these pens as they write beautifully, but this colour is difficult to get in the UK. A box of these cost a lot less coming from the USA than what I could see available from the UK!

I love these pens. This colour is fantastic.

Un de mes stylos préférés pour la prise et la fluidité d'écriture.
