Q: Are these pens capped? Thanks.

submitted by Cathy - 7 years ago
  • A: They do make a capped pen now, same pen but caps instead of retractable.

    submitted byscrappymomof3 - 6 years ago
  • A: they are retractable, which is good if you loose caps to pens often... its also a good way to pass the time during class/work whatever. repeatedly clicking the top is fun to do.... even though your boss or peers might not agree.

    submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years ago
  • A: Unfortunately, no. They are Retractable Gel Pens in many colors.

    submitted byI Hate It - 7 years ago
  • A: These are retractable and not capped.

    submitted byAH - 7 years ago
  • A: Please, don't let the fact that these pens are retractable keep you from buying them. These Ink Joy are the very best pens I purchased in the past two years. I have other Ink Joy pens..but these..are the best. Also, you might want to give Paper-Mate's Flair pens, a great complement to these Ink Joy pens.

    submitted byRoberta - 7 years ago
  • A: Hey Cathy! These pens are retractable, which makes them great for anybody who loses lids often (I can relate). I hope this helps!

Q: Do these pens bleed through the paper bad?

submitted by Carigan - 8 years ago
  • A: Not at all. The inkjoy pens have smooth, colorful ink that keeps the ideas flowing across the page and brightens your writing.

  • A: Like the first Answer states? They don't bleed.

    submitted byI Hate It - 7 years ago
  • A: Not at all. I haven't had that issue and I've used these pens on various types of paper.

    submitted byAirykah13 - 8 years ago
  • A: nope, not a problem at all!

    submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years ago

Q: Do these pens last a school year?

submitted by R - 6 years ago
  • A: Definitely! I used these pens last year and they are still in great shape.

    submitted byMadison - 6 years ago
  • A: of course! i have used these all throughout my first two years of high school... everything i could have hoped for!

    submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years ago

Q: i want to buy these but why should I?

submitted by Ash - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi, Ash! We appreciate your interest in Paper Mate. We recommend InkJoy® Gel Retractable for effortless writing, quick starting without dragging, and writing with minimal hand pressure. An outstanding feature of these gel pens is its quick-drying ink as well as ergonomic comfort grip.

Q: Can you use a highlighter over these pens without bleeding?

submitted by rissak - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Rissak! We appreciate your interest in our products. In line with your inquiry, bleeding depends on the formula of both the highlighter and the writing medium, as well as the paper you use. It’s always best to test highlighters on your specific ink and paper before you highlight large portions of text. Should you need further assistance, please give our consumer care team a call at 1-800-346-3278. For your convenience, we are available Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm EST.

    Wendywoo - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
    I use this exact brand at work, daily. Saying that, these have been a very regrettable purchase. NONE of these pens write fluidly. NONE. Very disappointed since I wanted bright colored ink for darker sticky notes. Unsure why these are so poorly made considering I use others, purchased elsewhere, that work easily and smoothly. I cannot recommend this pack of pens to anyone. They should be taken OFF the rack.

    I love colored pens; I use them every day. Paper Mate is my favorite brand when it comes to gel pens. These hardly ever smudge, and that is important to me, being left-handed. When you first receive them, it may take a few attempts to get the ink flowing, but after a few uses, it becomes easier. Recommend!

    These were my favorite until they weren't. I loved them for work, but they feel so inconsistent with ink flow and writing saturation. Sometimes I can go whole shifts at work without problems, but sometimes they can't even last a whole 30 minutes before acting up and being trashed.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The yellow wasn’t a good choice in pen color, but the others are bright and vivid. Great gel pens, once you got to writing with them a bit. I almost thought the purple one died, But it I just needed to scribble to get the ink flowing more.

    Inky joy gel pens

    asmam29_1399 - 4 months ago
    originally posted on influenster.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high expectations for the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens, but they didn’t feel as smooth as I expected from a gel pen. While the ink is vibrant and dries quickly—great for preventing smudging—the writing experience wasn’t as soft or effortless as other gel pens I’ve used. The ink flow feels a bit inconsistent at times, making it less fluid than I hoped. On the plus side, the pens have a comfortable grip, making them easy to hold for extended writing sessions. However, if you’re looking for an ultra-smooth, buttery gel pen, this might not be the best choice. It’s decent for everyday use but doesn’t quite deliver the silky glide I was expecting.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these pens to be easy/smooth to write with. The pen is easy to grip and the ink dries very quickly- as a lefty, that’s very important! I like that I didn’t have to struggle with the packaging and the packaging came with instructions on moving the wax ball so there’d be no confusion for those that aren’t aware.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens came in a 4 pack of 4 different colors, however, they all write with black ink. I like the texture of the outside of the pens, it feels like butter slime, & has a good grip. The ink writes so smoothly! I would definitely buy these pens, they are worth it!!
