LOVE these pens! They don't smear!
My husband is a leftie, so he tested out these pens on the new Tru Red notebook and had absolutely NO pen spear! This is a great new item in the Tru Red line!

Terrible Pens
You get what you pay for so just pay for a higher priced pen or pen set. They aren't smooth and the ink flow is very inconsistent. I tried to keep using them since I bought a whole pack but i had to throw all them away. waste of money

Love these
These pens are great. They write smoothly, don't skip or smudge, and the barrel feels soft on my fingers. I wish I could get a whole box of just the turquoise.

I got these pens because I need to have different colors for different employees and I was very disappointed that they don't work. when you're writing they miss half if not all the letter that you're trying to write. out of 5, one works well

Love writing with these pens!
These are nice pens. They write well and are comfortable to hold. I also love the colors. The only thing that isn't so great is that they are single use meaning once they run out of ink, that's it - toss them into the landfill...

not at all what I expected
The pen does not work properly, the ink comes out unevenly and in blobs or does not take to the writing surface at all. I cannot recommend at all

Good pens!
I’m very picky when it comes to buying new pens but these are the best ink pen out there. It comes with different colors and it’s not too big to grip on!

Love them!
The pens write very smoothly, I love the different colors. The pens are thicker than other pens I use but I'm ok with it. They have a good grip.

Just right
I love that as a gel pen it doesn't bleed too much.

Perfect
Bold, bright colors that don't smear. They dry quickly so highlighting is not an issue either. The rubber-like barrel is soft to the touch and comfortable to hold.

Writes amazingly and smoothly, accurate colors, and great value overall.
These pens are such an amazing values for what they are and I've written with much more expensive pens in the hundreds $ price point. The barrel soft touch plastic material makes for a comfortable writing over long period of time. The color is very vivid and accurate to the color of the barrel. The ink flows very smoothly and the tip is not scratchy at all. I will certa...

Not a happy customer!
The majority of these pens skipped or were hard to start when I was using them to write.
