Write terribly and ink is splotchy
1 reply from targetcom team - 10 days ago
Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Metallic Ink Pens. We are sorry to hear that the pens are writing poorly and that the ink is coming out splotchy. We understand how frustrating it is when you expect a smooth, consistent line and the pens do not perform as expected. For the best performance, please avoid writing on shiny, smooth, or coated surfaces. Make sure the tip seal is completely removed and warm up the pen by writing on scratch paper before use. If the ink does not flow properly, gently tap the tip on the paper to help bring the ink forward. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and will pass your comments along to our team. If the tips above do not help, 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

Terrible Pens
Horrible pens! Got them for nursing school notes and every single pen has issues. The link doesn’t write at all. All the others skip and make my notes look terrible. Do not buy these.

I like the metallic, love the normal version of these pens, but they’re not as smooth as I had hoped for.

Bad ink flow
I absolutely love the colors of these pens! Unfortunately, the ink skips quite a lot when writing which makes them frustrating to use. I really wanted to love them because the colors are beautiful but the inconsistent ink flow is a big drawback.

Trash- Don't waste your $
5/6 of these pens don’t write solid lines. I’ve scrapped off the plastic tip protector and they’re just awful. Not smooth at all, and I’ve tried to write on different surfaces, done all types of “tricks” and nothing seems to work. These trash… do not buy.

Terrible.
The ink in these pens is spotty, at best. You can't even write one word without them failing to work. Total waste of money.

ZERO STARS
Every single pen stopped working after a couple of words. The ink is doesn’t flow to the tip, it’s either too thick or has too many particles. Yes, I removed the wax on the tip. I had to scrap my entire project and start over.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Metallic Ink Pens. We’re very sorry to hear that every pen stopped working after only a few words. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after you had already removed the wax from the tips and were then unable to complete your project. The ink should flow smoothly and consistently, so this is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We’d like to look into this further and provide the support you need. 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

Not great pens!
I am so disappointed! I was excited because the colors looked pretty, and I love a metallic pen, but they do not write smoothly at all and are incredibly spotty as other reviewers have said. It was a waste of money.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Metallic Ink Pens. We’re sorry to hear that the pens did not write as smoothly as you expected and that the ink was inconsistent. We understand how disappointing that must be, especially when you were excited to try the metallic colors. For the best writing performance, make sure the protective seal is fully removed before use and try writing on standard, uncoated paper. Gently scribbling on scrap paper for a few seconds can also help get the ink flowing consistently. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website.
