⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “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.

I love this pen!!!!!!
I love this Paper Mate Inkjoy Retractable Gel Pen in Black Ink! For starters I love how gently it clicks open and closed. I also love how beautiful it writes. It glides on paper ever so smoothly as I'm writing and I'm in love with that! The gel ink is very bold and bright and I love it! I could seriously go on and on about how much I love my new pen. Its definitely my f...

Super fine point
I love fine point gel pens and this has a lot going for it. It does not get goopy or leave chunks of ink, the color does not look like faded grey like some fine point blank ink does. Of you are looking for a super fine pen then this might be the one for you. I knocked off one star because it's a bit too fine for my taste and it does not glide smoothly on all paper types...

Great Pen!
I love these pens! The color is constant and it writes very well. The ink dries fast so it doesn’t smear or get on your hands easily. The grip is great and makes writing a lot more comfortable. I’m very happy with these.

Really Nice Pen
I use the InkJoy Retractable Gel pen everyday at work. This is a comfortable pen to hold. The fine point tip has all your writing looking neat. There is no ink spots that come from the tip of the pen. Your ink writing is nice and smooth. Just an all around nice comfortable pen to use for any of your needs.

Always dependable!
I highly recommend this pen. It is reasonably priced and is a fine point pen (which is hard to find).

Clip breaks
Pens are great but the clip breaks off without barely touching them

Good Inexpensive Pens
I needed some inexpensive black ink, but also comfortable pens for signing documents in my office. I found these and they are doing a pretty good job for my need. They do occasionally have trouble flowing smoothly at first use, but usually after a stroke or two come right around.

Fine Point is a Bit Underwhelming
I believe that the Paper Mate Inkjoy is one of the finest inexpensive writing instruments. Across all colors, the ink lays down on paper evenly, smoothly and dries fast.
That being said, the fine point InkJoy pens, are adequate but not the quality of the the larger bore pens. The tactile feedback is scratchy, uneven in the lay down of ink and simply not the smooth fe...

Great Pens!
The pens are comfortable to hold, write really smoothly, have really black ink and don't smudge when I use a sharpie highlighter.

Papermate pens
I did not like them - the ink did not flow freely - actually, instead of writing they scratch the paper.

Paper Mate InkJoy Retractable Gel Pens, Fine Point, Black Ink, 8/Pack (1968613)
Although I'm not a big fan of fine point pens of any kind or really sharp pencils I did like the fine point Inkjoy. My issue is that when I write and have a tendency to tear the paper I'm writing on, so I avoid fine point writing utensils. I had actually used a .07 medium point and was looking for that inkjoy , but a salesman gave me a pack of inkjoy .05 fine point ins...

I have tried a lot of pens and I always come back to these; especially the fine point. Love the way they write and how smooth it is. Have never had a problem with them.

They're my favorite fine-point black ink pen!
Disappointed that my coupon was not available at checkout - didn't take a print-out of a coupon because our printer hasn't been working for awhile now. Don't know why, but we don't have access to using it - & or course, it's out of warranty.

Not happy
Very difficult to write with even with the rubberized grip. The pen did not make a satisfactory marks on the paper. I plan to return this item.
