Great pens, great colors!
I love how easily these pens glide across a variety of paper. They are comfortable to use and they are great for creating color coding for kid's chore charts - and for making cute notes...Read complete review
I love how easily these pens glide across a variety of paper. They are comfortable to use and they are great for creating color coding for kid's chore charts - and for making cute notes to put into their lunches! But they aren't just for kids, I use them for recipes using different colors for baking temperature, length of baking, etc. as well as just a change of pace from the usual blue or black pen for every day notes.

I was surprised by how quickly the ink ran out. I used it for less than 2 weeks when I noticed that the ink started skipping and then was running out. I didn't use it very often either. I was very disappointed as I thought it was a nice pen when I started using it. It glided well and was comfortable to grip. Can't believe this is Pentel quality. I won't buy these again; not very cost-effective.
Comments about Pentel® Hyper-G Retractable Gel Ink Pen, Medium Point, Assorted, 4/Pack:
I bought this pack of pens in the clearance section because it was a great buy. I am so glad I did. I will have to find a use for the purple pen but I have been using the red, black and blue pens and I really like them. They write smoothly and there's no skipping.
Yes - Staples has them on a carousel with other ink refills (not necessarily hanging next to the pens). But only for the black or blue colors.

Unfortunately we only carry the refill for these pens in black. It is item number 757718, however these are currently only available in our retail stores.

Other colors are available direct from the manufacturer. I have not found them elsewhere.
