Paper Mate gel-ink-rollerball-pens

Both daughters love these pens for taking notes. They write smooth and the colors are bright. Price was similar to or better than other online and in person retailers.

These pins have vibrant colors and write very smoothly. They have a comfortable grip and they do not smear.

I love the ink in these pens. It’s very opaque and beautiful colors. My biggest issue is it doesn’t always write super smooth. If you’re writing continually it works better but if you’re using it as you’re working and might go a minute or two without using it the ink takes a moment to get going good again. And sometimes as you’re writing it might get scratchy. If they could get these to write smooth like the pentel energels these would likely be my new every day go to pen! The blues are AMAZING. As annoying as the scratchiness is I’ll probably purchase again unless I find a smoother pen with the same colors.

I like these pens, most of the time. These pens write really well in a cool pastel color. They are not “smooth” pens. They write similar to the traditional pencil. They are somewhat chalky. The colors are vibrant and unique. Now here’s the downfall… I am sometimes a pen “clicker.” I found that when I click the pen too much, especially toward the middle/ end of the ink cartridge, I explode the pen. This is a mess and very inconvenient as the ink leaks everywhere. At first, I thought it was just a dud pen that exploded, but then it happened again with a different color. Proceed with caution and happy writing.

I LOVE THESE PENS. They write beautifully! And I consider myself quite the pen-a-holic. I have hundreds of pens. These have been some of my favorite newest pens. The only complaint I have is that I had to buy them twice because I enjoyed them so much the first few days I had them and then all of a sudden that first pack I bought refuses to write anymore and I wanted them to work again so I bought another pack. Not sure if the first pack was just a bad batch or what. But these pens write so smoothly and the colors are beautiful
