Best Budget Pens
I write a lot! Discovered these pens one day at work. Laying on the desk and I needed a pen so I borrowed it. Never giving it back! Best writing budget pen out there! I bought a box of 36 pens and did run into a couple that would not stay retracted. Just saying......

Quality Value Dependable Comfortable
In my business I have customers who often sign 30+ documents in a sitting. During the pandemic signers weren’t permitted to share pens and they kept the pens afterwards. The pens had to also be ink and not gel. These pens glide and are comfortable. I receive many compliments from the clients about the ease of signing with these pens. I have been using these pens e...

Stop and start writing
Unfortunately the roller ball inside keeps getting stuck and I’ve had to on many occasions Scribble on scratch paper to get it to start back up. The stop and start writing is annoying. Weight of the pen and hand feel is nice, just wish the mechanism was better quality.

great pen
I love this. It is the best that I ever had, this pen has a grip that makes it super comfy when writing for extended periods of time. The ink is a very bright color. These pens are perfect for someone who needs a larger ballpoint size. Those pens perfect for adults and kids, perfect for school or home.

Ok for a marker
I got this a couple of weeks ago. It seems about the same as other markers comparle to it. It does write smooth and the line is very definitive. I did notice it didn't run or smear like some others. Underlining words it's the right size.

Writes Smooth
I really like the Paper Mate Profile pens in Black. I like how the pens comes in a box containing 36, and the box is easy to open, and easy to close. When I took a pen out of the box, I really liked the overall look of the pen. The pen is lightweight, and I like the grip on the bottom, which is very comfortable. The pen clicks open to expose the ball point, and click ag...

Easy to write with
These have a great writing feeling and are comfortable to hold. Being a lefty I find that some pens diapers too much ink and it makes me smear it but that’s luckily not the case with these! They have a nice in hand feeling as well.

Always nice to have on hand
I loose pens alllll the time. I love that these pens come in a bulk 36 pack which I keep in the cabinet nearest my desk for when I lose my pen. They may not be the prettiest to look at but the are great to write with. They are a staple in my classroom.

Awesome Pens
I really liked these pens. They write super smooth. They do not smudge. They are great for reviewing paper if you are a teacher. I use them to write my daily to-do list. The ink is super bright and great to write anything.

Classic Red Pens - Paper Mate is the Best
When you are using a red pen, you want it to be good quality, provide even color and enhance your handwriting. Paper Mate never disappoints. I know a quality pen may not seem too important but it is. These don't dry out even if I don't click them back up into the chamber.

Smooth writing!
These Paper Mate profile retractable ballpoint pens are the best! These are smooth flowing and long lasting! These are also really great for left handed people as they don't smudge at all. I really like that they are retractable because I don't have to worry about losing my caps! The Red is nice and bring and does not fade with time. Paper Mate makes a good reliable pen...

Smooth writing instrument
A truly amazing and smooth rolling writing instrument. These Papermate Profile pens are comfortable in the hand and write so smoothly. I do a lot of writing and these pens last quite a long time. I have used Papermate products for decades and the quality and function is always consistent.

Excellent for stocking up!
I love the comfortability of Paper Mates Pens. The ink lasts a long time (even after using the pen for 4+ hours a day) and my hand never feels cramped thanks to the grip. The 36ct really helps me by being able to stock up and not run out of my favorite pen for a while.

Smooth writing
These pens, per usual definitely do not disappoint. Smooth writing, comfortable to grip. No issues like cheaper pens, where there's still ink but you cant write. Paper-mate as usual never disappoints with there quality.
