The colors are super pretty, but the pens are super spotty. I’ve tried multiple different colors and they all slip constantly. :( the writing feels smooth, but im going to return these for better consistency

Hello Bunny, We’re sorry to hear that your Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens are coming out spotty and skipping, even though you like the colors. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you expect smooth and consistent writing. Here are a few tips that may help improve the ink flow: 1. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper for a few seconds to get the ink flowing evenly. 2. Use smoother paper, as rough or textured surfaces can cause skipping. 3. Store the pens horizontally to help maintain consistent ink distribution. 4. Avoid pressing too lightly or too firmly—moderate pressure usually works best. 5. If the pens are new, a brief initial use may be needed to fully activate the ink. We understand your decision to return them and appreciate you giving them a try. If you need any further assistance, please reach out to us directly via our official website. We’re available Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm Eastern Time. We look forward to assisting you! Thank you, and please stay safe! Paper Mate 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!

Great, colorful pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paper, mate, ink, joy, gel, pens, and the tropical vacation colors add fun and personality to your writing, journaling, notes, or projects. The colors are amazingly bright and very cheerful. The pins are very smooth and the ink dries quickly, which keeps it from smudging. These are a medium point pen so they don’t give off fine lines.

Does not last!
Do not hold ink for very long. I have been buying these for years. The last 2 packages did not last. The ink runs out the first day you write with them. They are too expensive not to last longer. 😩

Purple and blue are great, yellow isn’t.
[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.

Colorful and smooth writing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the colors of these pens. The ink flowed well. I love Inkjoy Gel ink, so I knew it would be a smooth experience. I did not like the texture or grip feeling of the pen, though. But for a value pack, it’s a fun collection.

Good pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the pens when writing I felt like I had a good grip on them and they were really comfortable to write with for a long period of time. I did encounter an issue they would like sometimes like get stuck and stop writing. But overall they are great.

Wry pretty, but slightly difficult
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fun colors! The dark blue one wrote smoothly and glided on the page. The other colors really struggled. They seemed to need a lot of rewriting to read. Some of them I’d scribble somewhere then rewrite the word up to 6 times before it was legible. I have a bigger set of these pens that had similar issues. If it has happened in two separate sets, it must be a more common issue. I love these as a teacher for the bright colors though!

Picky Pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first, when I used these pens, I was not happy with the flow of ink. It would constantly skip. So I tried it using the pens on a stack of papers instead of just one sheet, and the flow of the ink was perfect. These are great pens but picky.

Love this collection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stationary aficionado here and pens are one of my favorites items to collect. The ink flow is smooth and the tips don't skip. Very comfortable to hold and scribble with. The colors are vibrant and the ink dries instantly, so no smearing at all. Would love to see more colors added to the Tropical Collection especially a Flamingo Pink.
