Bad quality. Not smooth. They go okay once you get going but at first the line isn't solid. It has gaps where no ink flows. Will be returning.

So disappointed
I was excited to use these new gel pens and they are terrible. The green didn’t even work. They are not consistent or fluid. I have to write words and letters twice. The retractable function sticks. I will never buy this style of pen again.

Really great once you get them rolling!
To my surprise I really like these really thick ink with nice lay down. I'd buy them again.

Terrible pens
These pens don't write well if at all. What a waste of money!

For black paper lovers
They are precisely what you would expect from Inkjoy but for black paper. I even use them on the back of the white paper when dark ink has bled through and lighter ink colors won't show.

Bright, opaque, and fast-drying
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These gel pens work great! The colors are rich, creamy, and opaque. The ink dries fast enough that it doesn’t smear even though I’m left handed. They’re good quality.

Some colors are a hit some are a miss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know how long these are going to last it took me a minute to get them to write when I took them out of the package. They're comfortable to write with and you get a lot in the pack but there's a couple colors that you can't see when you write with them.

Response from Staples :
Hello. Thank you for your honest feedback!
We're glad to hear the pens are comfortable to use and that you appreciate the variety in the pack. Some gel pens may need a quick scribble to get started, and lighter colors like yellow can be harder to see depending on the paper.
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!
PaperMate® Consumer Care.

Great Colors but not consistent ink
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] White I love the Array of colors in this package, the ink is not consistent. It takes some effort to get the pen going. I unfortunately would not but it again because of this.

Wish they wrote smoother
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some of the colors wrote so smoothly and beautifully! However, some of them seemed like the ball got stuck and the ink wouldn’t flow freely. The colors are beautiful though.

Good pens, but not good gel pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave these pens a 3/5 because they don’t work as well as I would want a gel pen to work. Some of the colors work better than others, but they don’t have the best gel consistency.

Nice colors!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are thick! They're easy to hold, but a little heavy. Medium point makes a pretty thick line. I used several to grade papers and found the rollerballs skip leaving a dotted line rather than a smooth line.
