I use these pens DAILY at work in an auto shop, we have anywhere from 3 or more pages to be written and/or signed per vehicle. I never have to worry about whether this pen is going to work when I pick it up, I know it will. The smoothness is great no having to go over a letter multiple times for it to be a "full" letter. The colors are dark and intense very easy to read, whether it be the customer or mechanic looking for information. I won't buy another type of pen again.

Comments about Paper Mate® Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Bold Point, Assorted, 8/Pack:
I grade tons of college papers daily, and this is one of my favorite pens! I heartily recommend it! My one problem with it is that it doesn't last very long; the ink runs out pretty quickly.

I have a calendar book that I write all my appointments in and the hours I worked and other things too, so I write in a different color for each thing, that is why I like these pens.
