Paper Mate Ink Joy 10pk Gel Pens 0.7mm Medium Tip Multicolored: Retractable, Quick Drying, Multicolor Ink, Stationery Set

A: They do make a capped pen now, same pen but caps instead of retractable.

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.

A: Unfortunately, no. They are Retractable Gel Pens in many colors.

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

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.

A: These are retractable and not capped.

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.

A: Not at all. I haven't had that issue and I've used these pens on various types of paper.

A: nope, not a problem at all!

A: Definitely! I used these pens last year and they are still in great shape.

A: of course! i have used these all throughout my first two years of high school... everything i could have hoped for!

A: They don't write smoothly or the ball tip gets stuck so they sit around my desk and last indefinitely.

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. The Paper Mate InkJoy 14pk Gel Pens 0.7mm Medium Tip Multicolored are designed to deliver smooth, vibrant ink on light-colored paper, so they may not be easily visible on black or very dark surfaces. For the best results and to fully enjoy the bright, bold colors, we recommend using these pens on white or light-colored paper. We’d be happy to discuss your experience further.

A: These pens don't work or won't write smoothly even on white paper. I don't understand how so many people say they are happy with them.

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.

A: I try to use them but I have to write VERY slowly and even then the ink does not flow smoothly. I usually have patience for only a few words on small notes.

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.

A: Yes, obviously it depends what highlighters too but in my experience they have worked perfectly.
