Q: Are these pens capped? Thanks.
A: Hey Cathy! These pens are retractable, which makes them great for anybody who loses lids often (I can relate). I hope this helps!
submitted bySquishExpert - 6 months agoA: 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.
submitted byRoberta - 7 years agoA: They do make a capped pen now, same pen but caps instead of retractable.
submitted byscrappymomof3 - 7 years agoA: 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.
submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years agoA: Unfortunately, no. They are Retractable Gel Pens in many colors.
submitted byI Hate It - 7 years agoA: These are retractable and not capped.

Q: Can you use a highlighter over these pens without bleeding?
A: Yes, obviously it depends what highlighters too but in my experience they have worked perfectly.
submitted byHonest Reviewer - 2 months agoA: 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.
