LOVE these pens! They don't smear!
My husband is a leftie, so he tested out these pens on the new Tru Red notebook and had absolutely NO pen spear! This is a great new item in the Tru Red line!

Terrible Pens
You get what you pay for so just pay for a higher priced pen or pen set. They aren't smooth and the ink flow is very inconsistent. I tried to keep using them since I bought a whole pack but i had to throw all them away. waste of money

Nice Pen!
This is a excellent pen that compares favorably to the Sharpie S-Gel. Ink dries quickly and, once dry, doesn't smear under highlighter. Great value.

Not the Best
These pens don't seem to last long and they skip a lot while I am writing with them. They write like they are running out of ink or like the ink is dried up from the get go. I think BIC stick pens write better and last longer than these.

Gel Ink and Price
Like the price a lot especially in this economy. Like the fact that they are gel inked pens and that the ink flows well. Thank you Staples. Staples sent great coupons too

Bought these for work…
Picked these pens up to use at the pizza shop I work at. We needed pens that would consistently write on thermal receipts. The pen and ink work fine on the paper (they do not skip on the receipt like regular rollerball pens), but the fine point tends to tear the paper quite often. Would recommend a medium point as a better option in this case, but the pens themselves ar...

Awesome ink, terrible barrel
The ink is beautiful - smooth, bold, quick drying. However the outside of the pen is coated in a weird rubber material that starts to peel and gets dirty looking. I love the way it writes, but hate the way it looks and feels. It does not "wear" well.

Comfortable in your hand
These pens have a thin tip but the writing is dark and bold. They are very comfortable in your hand, no sharp angles - just smooth and cushy.
