Bright colors
Beautiful bright colors! The white pen is white ink and now I’m in search of black notepad to use it because it’s so pretty.

Cool pens!
Pretty neat pens. Smooth to write with and bright colors! The only downside is how long they take to dry. I'm left handed and these smear pretty bad as I write. But Overall I love these!

Meh
Hard to write with- the ballpoint isn't smooth. Ink is constantly running in and out while writing. Great colors though.

Disappointing
The white pen stopped working the second time I tried using it. Very disappointing.

Dried out!
I couldn't get the pens to write at all. I returned them to get my money back.

Average
Several of the pens don't have a continuous flow of ink. I expected more from Paper Mate.

Cool pens
I received these pens from the stellar product testing panel. These pens write very smoothly. They came in these really cool bright colors. I use these to grade tests and they work really well.
I love the colors and they are comfortable to write with. I’d recommend if you are looking for ink pen and bright colors.

Vibrant and fun
Paper Mate is a reliable and affordable brand and these pens are on par with my expectations. I really love the vibrant, fun colors. These bright colors add a little pop of happiness to my grocery and to-do lists. They offer a smooth writing experience. I would caution lefties against using these for any important documents. I’m right handed, but I grasp my pen and drag...

Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me these pens in exchange for an honest review.

Vivid colors and amazing writing experience
I received these pens as a promotion through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and boy am I thankful!
I will admit that I love pens, and often use them around the house, for work, and on the go. I do not, however, often buy pens that are "bright" or "vivid" colors so this is not an item that I would generally consider purchasing. Thus, receiving and using these pens we...

Beautiful colors and very unique
I really liked these very unique gel pens that I got as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The pigment is very saturated, vibrant and buildable. They almost go on like paint in that you can write on multiple types of surfaces and different colors of paper. The white color is especially fun! I use these for special occasions like writing notes to my loved ones or...

Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Brights 6 pack Review
I really enjoyed using permeate inkjoy gel pens. The writing was very smooth and I loved the bright colors. I keep a detailed planner and I really enjoyed being able to use the various colors to color-coat activities for each family member. I also appreciated that the pens didn’t bleed through pages or smear when I was writing quickly between chasing my kids. I have a n...

Bright colors but not smooth
I have loved other versions of these pens, so was very excited to receive a new formulation to try thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The colors of the pens are beautiful and bright! Unfortunately, the ink is not smooth at all and skip quite frequently making them quite difficult to write with.

Vibrant and smooth
I was given this office supply item to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall I really love Ink Joy gel pens. This 6 pack is a good starter pack if you like brighter colors. Ink Joy gel pens glide so nicely and have really vibrant color. They work well on a variety of different kinds of paper, even construction paper with its weird texture. Ink Joy ge...

Smooth Bright and Bold
Pens that make smooth crisp marks on a page bring me great joy! When Stellar Product Testing Panel gave me an opportunity to try out the PaperMate InkJoy Gel Brights, I was excited about the experience. There is something viscerally pleasing about taking the stopper off of a brand new InkJoy pen. There is no wait time for the ink to reach the tip of the pen and the Gel ...

Vivid colors and comfortable to use
The colors in this set are very vivid, which I love! Note, the pink-y color appears to be medium Coral (a little more pink-toned than Peach) in person. It's normal for gel pens to take a little longer to dry than regular pens and these are no exception. When testing, it seemed to take 20-35 seconds for ink to be dry to the touch. If you prefer quick drying pens, gel is...

Vibrant and smooth
I was given these Ink Joy gel pens to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I think the pens write very smoothly and that the colors show up nice on both light and dark colored paper. I liked the variety of colors - my favorites were the pink and teal. I don’t tend to write on a lot of colored paper, so I probably wouldn’t use the white pen very oft...
