⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A Spiritual Awakening in Ink Form”
Move over quills, typewriters, and blood-pacts, these Pens revolutionized the very act of writing. Let’s break it down:
•Retractable? Yes, because I live in fear of pen caps. Who needs that kind of commitment?
•Fine Point? Finer than my future, finer than my will to live, and definitely finer than my judgment on Friday nights.
•Assorted Colors? More emotional range than...

Pens kept running dry
The gel pens would write for a couple of minutes but then would stop writing as if they dried out. If I stopped using them for a while I could get another couple of minutes of use out of them before the same thing happened.

A little spendy but definitely my wife's go-to pen
Always restocking them as they seem to always be getting lost or stolen! Definitely my wife's "go-to pen" I also like the Bic Atlantis 1.6, Pilot G-2 07, and Uniball Signo 207

Be careful the smear
Even though they’re not to smear, they do.

Great pen!
This is a great pen for those wi/tendinitis, as minimal pressure is needed to get a clean, consistent line. Color choices (except for yellow - haven't found that to be useful) add a bit of variety as well.

Ink Joy Pens
My friend introduced me to Ink Joy pens, and I loved the way the ink flowed so beautifully and was so black, but I write small and the .7mm pens wrote a bit too heavy. Then I discovered that they come in .5mm as well, which is perfect for me. Now they are my favorite pens, and Staples' price is very good for the package of ten.

Disappointed!
I bought the multi-color set of the Fine Point (0.5 mm) at Staples in August. I read reviews on all the Fine Point pens because I was looking for a pen that writes smoothly in multiple colors. I have use two colors which worked fine. However, when I started using brown it stopped writing the day after I took it out of the package. I can clearly see that it is full of in...
