Paper Mate InkJoy Bright Gel Pens Medium Point (0.7mm) Retractable Assorted Opaque Ink 6-Pack Comfortable Grip Vivid Colors

As a colored pen collector, I must say that these pens didn’t disappoint. They come in a wide range of vibrant colors and look absolutely stunning on black paper. My personal favorite is the Ink Joy type. I love the comfortable grip and the smooth writing experience. If you’re looking to add some high-quality pens to your collection, these are definitely worth considering.

Nice pins would not use anything else

I just got this pen yesterday and so happy to see the bright vibrant color of the pen body and I can’t wait to try them out. I have more than 300 different kind of pens. So I know if the pen is snooth write or not, I have been doing this long enough to give the best and honest review. The design and ergonomic of the pen is good. The grip is standard. The ink is NOT flowing it’s skipping a lot and its annoying when you write and you have to go back and rewrite. I thought only for the first time after you took the protection ball from the pointer. After half of the printing paper full of testing but ink still not flowing smoothly. It writes soooo badly. Not a fast drying ink so be careful you have to wait until ink dries or it will smear all over. If you write very very slowly the skipping not as bad but still skipping. I wish i can return this and get refund but most of the time if you already open the package and use the items they are not refundable. I am ready to toss this into the trash can. PAPER MATE better fix this.

These are amazing. I will have to reorder. They are my favorite and I already ran out.

Honestly, I hate to give bad reviews, but these were the worst pens I ever purchased. Normally the only problem I have with pens is being left-handed I don't like if the ink smears as I write - no worries here on that. There is no ink! Right out of the package one of them did not write at all and then after one week of light writing another one bit the dust. The only good things I can say about them is they don't smear or bleed through my paper and I do like the colors. Don't buy them if you want to have a pen that will work - these don't make the mark.

I was mostly happy with the first packaged I bought. But the very next day the sea foam pen stopped writing entirely. I tried apply heat to the nib and even at the plastic a tad. I tried writing on cardboard. Nothing worked. I’m very stubborn so I worked on this a very long time.I requested a return with a replacement and Amazon sent it the next day which I was thrilled about!I opened up the second package to test them out and the green one didn’t work at all! I again tried all the steps I did with the first sea foam pen and it just wouldn’t write.So, I decided the compare each color pen from each package side by side to see which individual pen performed against the other. There was also a grittiness in some of the pens.I’ve included comparisons on black and white paper.I’ve only had these for a few days so I can’t speak to the longevity of the pens. I have the regular ink joy pens which always write perfectly and smoothly.Overall these pens work better on white paper than black. So if you aren’t going to ever write on black paper, the smoothness won’t really be an issue.If you can swing it financially, I would recommend getting two packages because there was just too much quality differences in specific pens in the different packages.

These retractable gel pens are popular for their smooth writing experience, comfortable grip, and vibrant opaque ink—perfect for note-taking, journaling, or creative projects. Colors are consistently described as bright, striking, and fun, even bold enough to show up on dark paper. Certain colors needed extra scribbling to start or momentarily jammed/skipped. There are some Occasional inconsistent performance. The Paper Mate InkJoy Bright Gel Pens 0.7 mm offer a fun, colorful, and mostly smooth writing experience. They’re a solid pick for notes, art, and journaling—and the opaque bright inks work well even on dark surfaces. However, for critical tasks or heavy writing, be cautious—some pens in the pack may require priming, and drying isn’t instantaneous across all colors.

These write a whole lot better than I thought they would. The grip is comfortable. No skipping or railroading.
