⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “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.

Nice Pen!
I received the InkJoy Retractable Fine Point Black Ink Gel Pen to Test and Review. This is a very nice pen that writes beautifully. I like how the gel pens write. Fine Point pens makes letter writing very crisp looking.

nice slick pen
I love the way it glides when I write, nice and smooth. I also have this thing where I love to click the pens, which probably drives people crazy. LOL but something else I love about this pen. It does not smear like most gel pens do. it dries pretty quickly. I'm hoping this type of pen comes in multiple colors so I can go get more!

Smooth writing
Great little pen. Works great and looks great on paper.
Smooth writing and an easy little pen to use. I’m a paraprofessional in second grade and have to write down little notes daily and I’ve been using this pen for just that. It’s become my favorite.

Nice, fine point
Very nice pens, the grip is comfortable to hold and the pen doesn't slip around when I am writing. The ink flows smoothly and I like that this is a thin, fine point, my writing looks very neat and clean when using.

Quality product
These are my favorite disposable pens so far. The barrel is slightly textured, making it easy and comfortable to hold. The ink flows smoothly onto the paper, and leaves a very clear impression. I prefer the 0.5mm point, but they also have 0.7mm if you like a slightly thicker line. I found the ink dries pretty quickly, haven’t had any issues with ink smudging.

Smooth pen
This is a great gel pen. I don't like stiff ink and this Paper Mate InkJoy Retractable pen didn't disappoint me. It glides on the paper as you are writing and dries very quickly. I would recommend it.

Wow Look At This Gel Pen!!
Nothing. but smooth that's what this Gel pen is. You can write quickly and your work looks professional with this ink from this pen. And you never have to worry about your work smearing if your hand brushes against it, that's what keeps your work looking proffesional.

As expected
This pen is heavier than I'm used to using. I think I prefer a thinner, lighter weight pen. It has a fine tip and writes smoothly with gel ink. I like that it is a retractable pen rather than a capped pen.

no skips
I love this pen!! I have longed for a retractable Gel pen that i can use without issue. This pen writes beautifully with a fine point that does not skip. Other gel pens have to be held perpendicular to the paper - this one does not. From any angle it flows effortlessly. I will buy this one again and again.

Love this
This one by far has been the best one I have yet to use. Writing with this just goes so smoothly and I feel that the writing seems to look better using this gel pen. Have no issues with this at all, and love it for any kind of writing I may need.

Great pen
I love a smooth pen and this pin meets all of my expectations. I love the way it writes and I love that as someone who is left-handed when I write with this gel pen it doesn’t smear or smudge on my paper. It is hard to find a pan that does not smudge when you’re left-handed and I am very glad that I have this pain in my back pocket now. It’s just it’s really smooth when...

Great Gel Pins
I got this because I wanted to try. different gel pen. I am so glad I tried the Paper Mate Inkjoy Retractable Gel Pen. I love the fine point on these pens. They do not smudge on the Paper and being retractable there is less chance to stain your clothes if placed in a pocket. These pens are a beautiful writing instrument that makes a very nice backhand slant without skip...

Lightweight and easy to use.
This pen is very lightweight which is helpful reducing fatigue. The pushbutton control at the top displays the writing element when wanted. This prevents unwanted stains on objects in may come in contact with. I would recommend this pen for simple tasks.

Excellent
I like this pen a lot. I’m always writing during the day and the ink in this pen is very clear, it doesn’t smear a ton when I’m writing with it, but it might with left handed people. With the type of ink it uses, it does show up on the other side of the paper. Not a total bleed through, but you can definitely see it.

I got this pack of Paper Mate ink joy pens and I use them all the time. The gel doesn't smudge when you write and it writes so smoothly. Perfect thickness too! They are retractable so you dont have to worry about losing the cap. I highly recommend!
