skips
The ink skips when you write I have tried everything and you cant get a full word out without having to trace over it again. Unreliable and super annoying

Not worth the money most of them didn't even work and what did work skipped when writing. I ended up putting different ink in the pens so it wasn't a total waste of money.

Not great
I'm a paper mate lover. These pens are awful. They skip when you write and you have to scribble to get it to even start writing.

cute pens
These pens are pretty. Colors show up great. The only thing is that they cut out in the middle of writing. sucks when you're in the middle of your signature and it cuts out and now it looks like you tried to forge a signature because you're going back over what was skipped.

FUN!
These pens are so fun to use! They are cool colors with a hint of metallic. I like to color code notes and to do lists. These were perfect for that.

Pretty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to give these 5 stars, but some of the pens write as though they’re drying out already. The ones that do write well are beautiful though! I love the click design for a metallic pen as well

Pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Meh. I've used this brand before, but I wasn't impressed with these pens. The colors just didn't feel saturated and I didn't feel like they wrote as smoothly as I'd like.

Response from Staples :
Hello. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
To enhance the performance of the pens, we suggest avoiding surfaces that are shiny, smooth, or coated. Before usage, consider warming up the pen by testing it on scratch paper. If the pen fails to start promptly, gently tapping it on the paper may facilitate ink flow.
If these steps do not help, please don't hesitate to let us know. Kindly reach out to us via our "Contact Us" Form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
Thank you!

Not what had hoped.
Not at all what was expected and skips when writes definitely not worth what I was charged.

Not super long lasting for what you get
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love these because I’m a teacher so pens are a big deal for us! It seemed to not last as long as I hoped. The print was fine and the ink didn’t bleed much.

Great pens!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a good gel pen. Paper Mate makes great pens. These colors are really fun, but some of the lighter colors were hard to see. I would opt for a package with darker colors as they were more vibrant!

Beautiful colors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens feel really comfortable to hold and nice texture. The ink is a bit wet and thick which looks lovely but smudges easily. The yellow didn’t show us as strongly but the orange color looks amazing!

Nostalgia in a Pen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is just pure nostalgia in a pen. As a millennial, my heart skips a beat just holding a gel pen, let alone a…metallic gel pen. Needless to say this is a great pen to write cute notes and use for crafts. I could see this writing well over dark paper. I personally offer one of these pens for students to use for th...
