Terrible! Most skip badly or don't write
Pens stop writing long before ink runs out. Totally worthless.

OK but will not reorder
Ink flow is fine but pen is too slender for comfort.

Paper Mate FlexGrip Elite Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point, Blue, Dozen.
I was a little disappointed as the actual pens I received did not match the photo in SA.com. The picture shows a solid blue pen but what I received was solid blue on one end and silver on the other. The pen works the same but it was just a little different than what I thought I was buying.

Paper Mate Flex grip pens
These pens write nicely on white block plastic bags, better than many other pens we have tried. It has a comfortable grip. Although the price went up again, so we may be looking for an alternative.

I went into the nearest
I went into the nearest Staples and they didn't have my item in stock so a VERY PLEASANT associate assisted me in ordering them on the in house machine. Then I got them order in a very timely manner...all in all, happy with the experience

Paper mate flex grip elite retractable ballpoint pen medium point 1.0 mm, blue, 12/ok (85581)
These are the only pens I buy. They never smudge so everything you write looks nice. The pen also has a nice grip on it. I highly recommend these pens!!!!!

Problem with ordering to store
Needed these pens. Ordered on line to ship to store. Got email that product was shipped and then email that I could pick it up. But it wasn't there. Two very nice associates spent fifteen minutes looking for the small package. They had to re-order it, and it finally came, two days later. I hope I don't get charged for two shipments.
By the way, the pens are great. Smoot...

Comfortable to use, ink flows well
People in my office particularly like the blue ink version of this product because you can always tell when something is "the original." The ink lasts a long time, never smears, and flows smoothly. The soft grip is comfortable to hold and use for long periods of time.

Thin blue ink Papermate FlexGrip Elite
Blue ink flow is fine, but the feel of the pen is not as comfortable is a wider barrel. The silicone grip is not as soft as others (zebra) and I imagine will cause calluses from continuous use. Feels lightweight, top part plastic and feels cheap. Will not buy again.
