Paper MateInkJoy Gel Pens, Medium Point

I really like Ink Joy and I have for a while because of the joy they bring while I'm writing with them-a really nice, consistent and appropriate ink flow! So although they are a bit pricey, I don't mind because they "usually" write so well. This time, however, when I opened the package and tested them out, all the colors gave a nice smooth output except for black and the lighter blue. But as I continued testing them out more colors needed to be shaken or tapped before they would continue writing well. This was not the feeling of joy but sadness. Come to think of it, I've had trouble from the light blue one before. It may be the paper that I'm writing on though. Because I normally use it in my journal but I tried it the next day on a sheet of copy paper and it's writing with no issues! I'll see...

I enjoy all the colors and use these daily.

Got these pens to restock my desk at the office when we returned part time and I absolutely love the way that these write! There is great pigmentation, and the ink dries very quickly as well!!

within the first week of using them, two of the pens exploded, and of them ran out of ink extremely fast, they are nice, but there are definitely defective ones

I feel like there are a handful of professions out there that really know a good pen when they see it. And all the teachers I know are very very particular about their grading pens. These pens are perfection. They were actually recommended to me by another teacher and this is the only kind of pen that I will grade with. It’s thick And bold but it doesn’t smear, and even the lighter colors like orange and lime green still show up great on a paper. I love the fact that it does not have a lid, because let’s get real I’d lose it. My daughter who is a budding artist also loves his pens. If you’re looking for a teacher gift, this is it. LOL and if you’re looking for yourself, trust me, from a professional pen user, this is the best out there and the price is right

So I will admit that my pen (addiction) collection is growing thanks to pretty colors. I actually had very low expectations for this pack. But within a second of writing, I knew I was going to put these into every-day rotation.The pen barrel is comfortable rubber grip so your hands don't get fatigued quickly. The colors themselves are saturated and lay down a smooth line with no smearing so far. I like the no cap thing I hate looking for pen caps, the clicker feels smooth.I did a very non-scientific water test I tested all the colors on regular paper and was disappointed to see that the ink is not quite archival (while the ink did not disappear) the water made it runny and not legible. I would love to see the ink reformulated so it is archival (but hey if wishes were horses)All in all I will purchase another set as a back-up because I can see these pens walking off with sticky fingers. (I don't think I will pick up the pack with the yellow ink, yellow ink is just rubbish unless it's for highlighting)

The media could not be loaded.  Super easy and comfortable to hold, very pigmented (the teal is my favorite but they all look great). The only thing I noticed was the green got a little thin after extended use, but it’s the only one this happened with and it stopped when I spun it to the other side.

As a teacher, it's the little things in life that make us happy -- and these pens are it! I purchased a couple single pens and used them for a while. I fell in love with the way the ink flows so smoothly and without any skips, so I ordered this pack of 8. The colors are vibrant, yet do not bleed through the paper. You can write on both sides of a piece of paper and it will still be legible. The pen's grip is comfortable and I notice no wrist/finger fatigue. If you're a lefty, no worries, you do not have to fear smearing and smudges. The ink dries instantly. Go ahead and buy the pens, you won't be sorry.

These pens are great. As a left handed person they don't smudge and the colours are true. They do seems to run out quite quickly about 3 months of usage for me

These have such an amazing flow. I can't wait to use them.I wanted to add that I had to throw one out while there was still ink in it because it wouldn't write continuously, it started and stopped and was getting annoying.

Pintan increíble, son súper suaves y los colores muy brillantes, prácticamente no se corren, ni manchan. Son muy cómodas al escribir. Llegaron a tiempo y en perfecto estado.

Love these pens - the colour is bright, they write smoothly, and the barrels are nice to grip. Love them!

Belles couleurs et fonctionnent très bien !
