Paper Mate InkJoy Bright Pens, Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm), Retractable, Assorted Brighter Colors, 10 Count

Both daughters love these pens for taking notes. They write smooth and the colors are bright. Price was similar to or better than other online and in person retailers.

The colors are awesome and they write so smoothly! Definitely a good buy and price!! I keep a journal so these are perfect.

Loving these colors! Looks awesome on black paper.

These metallic gel pens are pretty on white paper, are a bit scratchy to write with, and are advertised to write on black paper. They look great on white paper, but they are not as vibrant on black paper as I was expecting. I've uploaded a photo of my experience. I also bought a 36 pack of Paper Mate pens, and used a black one to write the description of what type of pens I was using on the white paper. Functionally, the metallics don't write as smoothly as I would have expected. Hopefully, you can see in my example that the metallic ink has a trail through it as it writes. I didn't buy these for myself, though. They are for my 10 year old for a variety of things in school. She likely won't notice the things that I notice when writing and doodling. I believe she will most likely use these for decorating or doodling, so she will have more time to use them and not be as frustrated as one might be if they tried to use these for work, or dictation, under a time crunch. She likes them, so I would say that these are a good value for my money. As with any gel pen, if you don't use them in a timely manner after removing the wax protective tip, then they do dry out and become less reliable.

I love the ink in these pens. It’s very opaque and beautiful colors. My biggest issue is it doesn’t always write super smooth. If you’re writing continually it works better but if you’re using it as you’re working and might go a minute or two without using it the ink takes a moment to get going good again. And sometimes as you’re writing it might get scratchy. If they could get these to write smooth like the pentel energels these would likely be my new every day go to pen! The blues are AMAZING. As annoying as the scratchiness is I’ll probably purchase again unless I find a smoother pen with the same colors.

These pins have vibrant colors and write very smoothly. They have a comfortable grip and they do not smear.

I like them. They are very vibrant

I found these pens to not write smoothly. Pretty colors but not the best pens.

Muy buena calidad, se sienten de buena calidad y su tinta es excelente

They are really nice, but a few don't write that well. They were a little disappointing for me, but the colours that do work are very pretty

Absolutely love the colours! I’m a pen lover and have quite a collection, and these quickly became a favourite. The colours are vibrant and original, making them perfect for journaling, note-taking, or adding a creative touch to everyday writing. The ink flows smoothly without skipping, and the pens glide effortlessly across the page, which makes writing feel easy and enjoyable. If you enjoy writing with unique, eye-catching colours, these are an excellent choice. They are a bit pricey, though.

Normally I love the Inkjoy Gel pens, but I think I got a bad batch. The light blue one and the pink one cut out a lot when trying to write, and the pink one is very faint as well.

Dried out had to return them
