These are officially my new favorite markers. It feels like writing with a sharpie with out the bleed through. No skipping. No bleeding. I have them in a bunch of colors, but the black is great for every day at work.

The product works great but with the free Apple TV promotion I never received mine. I contacted target and was told to contact Apple only for target to have the audacity to say since I’ve had Apple TV months ago

the most reliable felt tip around
Paper Mate Flair pens are as old and nostalgic as the New York Times crossword puzzle, and essentially the reason they were created. These are the pens you reach for when you care what your handwriting looks like. The 0.7 felt tip creates a clean, smooth line that is easy to read, and the ink colors make note-taking, grading, and planning a little more enjoyable. A classic pen that has been around for decades for a reason.

THE Pen
Great for journaling. Would not bet too much that the ink would not leak through thin paper, but the pen has worked smoothly in my experience **on thick-ish paper, that is! 🫶🏻✨ Great option in terms of price and functionality too! 🥰

Not really pens. They are just fine point markers. Don’t write smooth.
1 reply from targetcom team - 4 months ago
Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Paper Mate Flair 4pk Marker Pens. We’re sorry to hear that the writing experience did not meet your expectations. Flair pens are designed with a felt-tip, marker-style point, so they can feel different from traditional ink pens and may not provide the same smooth glide depending on personal preference and the writing surface. To help improve performance, using them on standard paper rather than very smooth or coated surfaces can sometimes provide a more consistent feel. Ensuring the tip is not pressed too hard while writing can also help maintain smoother ink flow. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and your feedback will be shared with our team as we continue to evaluate and improve our products. 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

Love these pens but...
Love these pens and how bold they are and how they don’t bleed through paper but they dry out SO. QUICKLY. So expensive and yet the quality is terrible.

3 out of the 4 pens were dried out when I opened them straight out of the package. Very disappointing..

My favorite pens
These black Flair pens are a staple for me. The ink is bold and consistent, and they write incredibly smoothly without skipping. I love the fine felt tip - it gives clean, crisp lines that are perfect for note-taking, grading, planning, and everyday writing. They don’t smear easily and I’ve noticed very minimal bleed-through. Absolutely worth it!
