My favorite pens! They write smoothly. The only issue is I use them to much they run out of ink.

These pens are so comfortable to hold and the ink is so smooth and consistent. Every color is extremely vibrant including the yellow. Makes writing notes in class really fun and helps me differentiate between certain parts of my notes.

Ink issues
Some of the pens have run out of ink or don’t write consistently after only a couple of uses:(
1 reply from targetcom team - 1 month ago
Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens (14-Pack). We're sorry to hear that some of the pens ran out of ink or stopped writing consistently after only a couple of uses. We understand how disappointing that is, especially when you expect each pen in the pack to provide smooth, reliable performance. To help improve ink flow, we recommend scribbling on scratch paper for several seconds to help restart the ink, storing the pens horizontally, and avoiding use on glossy, smooth, or coated surfaces, as these can affect gel ink performance. If the affected pens still do not write consistently after trying these steps, we understand your frustration and recommend reaching out to us directly. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate® Consumer Care

Great pens for color coding & planning
Purchased these for my daughter, and she loves them! The colors are vibrant and perfect for color coding her planner. The pens write smoothly & dry quickly. The retractable design is convenient, and the variety of colors makes organizing notes fun and easy.

I have been using these pens for about a month and honestly I was hesitant to buy them because of the reviews which said they dry out quickly,(which they do),but I also believe they dry quickly because of the constant use,but overall they have nice pigments.

Skip out on these
I own both the basic and metallic versions of these pens, but after just a month or two, they’ve already started skipping. I can’t even write a full sentence with them. It’s definitely disappointing.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy 14pk Gel Pens. We’re sorry to hear that the pens began skipping after only a short time of use. We understand how frustrating it is when you can’t rely on a pen to write a full sentence smoothly, especially across multiple sets. To help improve ink flow, we recommend storing the pens horizontally when possible, ensuring the tip seal is fully removed, and writing on clean, non-coated paper surfaces. If a pen starts skipping, gently scribbling on scratch paper or lightly tapping the tip can sometimes help restore consistent ink flow. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we will pass it along to our team as we continue working to improve performance and consistency. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate® Consumer Care

Just no
Super disappointed in these pens. I had had them for just about a month and the ink flow is awful. The first time I used each pen, it was fine and smooth, but after the initial usage, the ink skips.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy 10pk Gel Pens. We’re sorry to hear that the ink flow has been inconsistent after the initial use. We understand how frustrating it is when pens start off smooth but then begin to skip shortly after. You may try getting the ink flowing again by scribbling on scratch paper, ensuring any protective tip seal has been fully removed, and gently tapping the pen on paper. Writing on non-coated surfaces can also help maintain a more consistent ink flow. If the issue continues, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate® Consumer Care

Smooth glide ✍️
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would give the pens a solid 3.5 rating. While I appreciated how easy they were to write with and the smooth glide, I wished some of the colors were more pigmented. Overall, they’re still really good pens!

Some of the pens barely work. Even though the pens are brand new and look like they are full of ink, it will not come out. I have to write multiple times over the same spot, so it’s hard to write.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens (10-Pack). We’re sorry to hear that some of the pens are not writing smoothly, especially when they appear to still have plenty of ink remaining. You may want to try a few quick steps that can sometimes help restart the ink flow: - Scribble on a piece of scrap paper for several seconds to help get the ink moving. - Try writing on a different type of paper, as very smooth or coated paper can sometimes affect gel ink flow. - Hold the pen tip-down for a short period to allow the ink to settle toward the tip. - Gently tap the pen tip on paper to help encourage the ink to flow. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate® Consumer Care

14 pens and all of them stop working mid-writing. I haven't even had these a month! I opened them and they still had ink but nothing I did helped the ink flow. I wish I hadn't thrown away the packaging so I could return these.

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We’re really sorry to hear that all 14 of your Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens (0.7mm) stopped working mid‑writing. That’s incredibly frustrating, especially when the pens still show ink inside and you haven’t even had them for a month. This definitely isn’t the experience we want for our Consumers. Here are a few quick troubleshooting steps that may help re‑start the ink flow: 1. Scribble firmly on scrap paper Gel pens can sometimes develop a small air bubble near the tip. A few strong scribbles can help re‑prime the ink. 2. Warm the tip slightly Holding the tip between your fingers for a few seconds can soften thickened gel ink and encourage flow. 3. Wipe the tip with a soft cloth Sometimes dried gel or debris can block the ballpoint. 4. Store pens horizontally This helps keep the gel evenly distributed. If you’ve tried these steps and the pens still won’t write, we’re here to help and can look into this further for you. Your feedback is truly appreciated, it helps us continue improving the writing experience for pen lovers like you. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate Consumer Care Team

I was disappointed with how it wasn't packed right. The pens were all out of the container. This was suppose to be part of a present.
