Paper Mate InkJoy 300RT Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), Assorted, 8 Count

Writes really good. Helpful for color coding my note taking. A different color can represent a different category. Helpful for diagrams too. My work requires me to take many notes and make rough schematics. The colors help distinguish and give different emphases for quick visual identification. The non-standard colors provide a unique touch. Price is good compared to similar products on the market.

I purchased this set as an add on item for 4.00. This for me is a pretty good value. There are 8 pens in this package, so that gives me a cost of just about .50 cents each. I kept seeing the commercials for the Ink Joy pens and how quickly they dried and how incredibly smooth they write. i also liked that the pens came in a variety of colors. I ordered the medium. When I got the pens home, I wanted to try then right away. First I noticed they are comfortable in my hand. I like the the grip area near the top of the pen. This helps keep my hand comfortable when I am writing for a long period of time. Also, I noticed the ink comes out very fluid and smooth, without skipping or missed places. The ink flow starts easily and looks nice and dries nice. Since pens seem to "accidentally" walk away from my desk, it doesn't hurt as much when I can find pens at lower prices. Also, I enjoy that this is a pretty color of ink. My five year old loves to have pretty pens for her artwork so some of the pens will definitely be hers. I am also sure my husband will nab one or two of them. I definitely recommend these pens!

ordered these years ago now and they still work perfectly fine. i use them at work all day.

Love these colors and exceptional price

These colorful pens were totally affordable, and I feel a lot better now that I have regular, bold pens to fill on my journals, herbal tea formula notebook, diy natural product notebook, and daily planner. I always buy Sharpie markers and gel pens, and realized that I just needed regular ball-point pens that write smoothly.On slick or waterproof paper, these pens don't come out well. On regular paper, they work well, and write continuously and easily with bold colors. I underlined some things in one of my books with somewhat slick, smooth pages, and to my dismay, it all got completely smudged.Overall, these are decent pens for everyday use on normal notebook and looseleaf paper. For other types of paper, or for books with smooth pages, these aren't so good.

"I recently purchased the Paper Mate InkJoy 300RT Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm) and I'm very impressed with their performance. The pens have a smooth and consistent ink flow that makes writing effortless and enjoyable. The medium point is perfect for everyday writing tasks and the 1.0mm tip produces clear and crisp lines.I love the retractable design of the pens, which makes them very convenient to use and carry around. The clip on the side of the pen is also very useful and allows me to easily attach the pen to my notebook or pocket. The rubberized grip is very comfortable to hold and prevents my fingers from slipping, even after hours of writing.The ink dries quickly and doesn't smudge or smear, which is great for left-handed writers like myself. The ink also doesn't bleed through the paper, which is important when writing in notebooks or journals.Overall, I highly recommend the Paper Mate InkJoy 300RT Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm) to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable writing tool. They are affordable, high-quality pens that have exceeded my expectations and have become my go-to writing instrument."

I love pens. When my purple pen ran out of ink I quickly needed to find a replacement. I started doing research on colored ballpoint pens because I'm VERY particular about how a ballpoint writes. I wasn't even looking for low-cost pens either, the price doesn't make any difference to me so long as they are reliable and write smoothly. These happened to be, not only wonderful pens, but very affordable!Each color in the package is equally bold and smooth with no breaks in the ink or unnecessary bleeding or splotching. The pen is surprisingly lightweight, but the finger grip is nothing to write home about (the papermate profile has a better grip, if that's any indication) It also has white ink cartridges which might make it difficult to see when ink is running low. I like the clear cartridges but that's really just a personal preference

I love these long lasting and the colors are super cute
