Paper Mate InkJoy Pens, Gel Pens, Fine Point (0.5 mm), Assorted, 14 Count - Back to School, Teacher Supplies, Writing, Journaling

I love these pens! This is a repeat buy as they were on sale, but I've purchased many times before. The colors are very bright and true, plus there's many colors to choose from in this pack. Bonus.. they don't bleed too bad in my Bible. I enjoy the grip of the outside of the pen itself and the smoothness of the gel ink which dries pretty quick and doesn't smudge too awful bad .. HUGE ➕️Just a ⚠️ though... when you first get these pens, they start out kinda ruff. I don't know why, but they always do. However, the more you use them the better they work. And weirdly enough, I've only had 1 single pen actually run out of ink; a pink one that I actually used to death! I used it over 5 years for daily journaling, adult coloring, doodling, taking notes and anything else I could get away with using a pink pen for. The rest of my stash has simply been swiped by my children, grandchildren, friends, and family, lost, or are still part of my "inventory" as my hubby calls it. 😊Obviously, I highly recommend these pens! 💯

As a left hander, I'm always searching for a fine point pen that doesn't smear when I'm writing. These are great! Love the color selections also.

I really love this set. The eraser quality is good and the color is gorgeous! I really recommend this set

I've been using the Papermate Inkjoy pens for about a month now and I feel I can finally give the Amazon network my truthful pros and cons:ProsGreat fine point for those of us who love to write small and with sharp precisionSmooth fine detailing once the pen(s) flow kicks in (if you let them set up for a day or two they seem to to need a !ittle primer action by scribbling until the ink flow gets started again)Nice bright colors (I picked the 12 pack)I like the rubberized softer feel of the barrelI definitely will buy them again, and againConsNot enough colors I want moreScratching and/or clear translucent ink when the pen needs a little primerPriming seems to be a recurring requirement at the start of each useIt seems the nib of the pen has trouble with minimal clogging and needs to clear itself of the previous ink before a smooth flow can be established (I have never had this issue with the Pilot G2 fine point before)The size of the barrel seems a little awkward at firstHope my honest review on the features & limitations of the Papermate Inkjoy pens will help everyone with persnickety requirements make the best decision for their budget and purchase of these Papermate products. I'm not a professional graphic artist but I've been doing calligraphy and brush lettering for over 30 years. I am a little snobbish when it comes to lettering pens, yes there are a couple of funky quirks on these pens but, overall when the ink starts flowing they become very silky smooth, the fine point is very close to a chiseled nib of some of the messy fountain pens, and it really does allow for that meticulous pin-point control and accuracy.

I'm kind of a pen snob at times. I hate ball point pens, I despite thick, bold tips, and I need something comfortable to hold when writing by hand. I have quite a few favorites - Uniball's gel pen, TUL pens (which are amazing), Pentel's ultra-fine-points, etc, but these pens have quickly risen there way up to my "must haves."A couple of reasons. I like writing in small spaces - my planners (I use Erin Condren hourly, mostly, with some Happy Planners), and I put a lot of information in there. Small pen tips are a *must*. I need 0.5mm or smaller. The biggest issue with these pens is that their tips get clogged very easily, due to how small they are, and I lose my smooth writing ability. The Inkjoys do not appear to have these issues (most gel points don't, I've found). But gels do have a big negative - sometimes they take looooong to dry. So if I'm not careful, I get streaks and transfers. The Inkjoys seem to dry fairly quickly as well, which is impressive. They are most similar to the TULs that I just absolutely love so much, but come in more colors and have a more comfortable grip (plus is available at Amazon with Prime shipping :-) ). Definitely worth a try for planner/stationary geekery fans!

The colors of these pens are vibrant and write smooth. I use these for note taking and writing letters. These don't dry super fast but don't take that long to dry but the ink will smudge if you touch over it immediately after writing (why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5). This is my second purchase of this set.

These are my absolute favorite pens. They write so smoothly without smudging. They have so many great colors.

These pens never disappoint me and never skip when writing. I have ordered these numerous times and admire their vibrant color! Even the yellow is visible and deep 💛
