    Disappointed

    Beautiful colors but would not recommend they skip like crazy and they don’t dry quickly on paper

    Hello, and thank you for sharing your feedback on the Paper Mate InkJoy 6pk Gel Pens. We’re glad you love the colors, but we’re sorry to hear about the skipping and slow drying time you experienced. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. To help improve performance, kindly avoid writing on shiny, smooth, or coated surfaces. Make sure the tip seal is completely removed and warm up the pen on scratch paper before use. If the ink doesn’t start flowing right away, gently tap the tip on paper to bring the ink forward. We’ll also be forwarding your feedback to our product team for review, as we’re always looking for ways to enhance the InkJoy writing 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

    Stay away

    These were awful. They barely wrote, on any type of paper, and were so sharp they ripped through plain writing paper with minimal force.

    Disappointing quality. Test pens immediately

    These pens do not write as well as other Paper Mate gel pens. They drag on the page and did not glide on a page like most Paper Mate gel pens. They also run out of ink quickly.

    When the first pen stopped writing two days into my use of it, I thought I had gotten a bad pen. Wrong. They all suck! And will stop working within five business days. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.

    Smears a lot

    I usually use only pilot pens but I wanted to try these out because of the bright colors it claims on packaging. Not the best colors and it smears a lot when writing. There are better pens out there.

    Scratchy, inconsistent ink

    These were the worst inkjoy pens I've ever used! Only one of the six worked as expected. One of them didn't write at all. The other 4 were scratchy when writing and the ink was not consistent. Very disappointed!

    Waste of money

    I wish I had read the reviews for these pens before I bought them. They are awful. The ink does not smoothly flow when you write. You have to hold the pen straight up to get a consistent flow. They are terrible. $10 for a pack of pens that don’t write is crazy. I kept thinking eventually they would write better but just seem to get worse. Do not waste your money.

    Dont reccomend

    If I could rate it less than half a star I would. Im not one to leave reviews. Im not sure if I could a bad set but for 10 dollars for FIVE PENS that not one of them worked is really annoying. I wanted to get myself some cute pens for my desk but man these are really disappointing. I want to rerun them but I threw the packaging away. Overall don’t like the pens and wouldn’t recommend them. They don’t write well/ at all. I’ve tried on multiple pieces of paper.

    Good pens, not the best quality.

    I like these pens overall, they’re comfortable to hold and write smoothly most of the time and the colors are nice and vibrant. However, the ink flow can be inconsistent, sometimes it skips or stops mid-word before starting again. With the green one I usually have to scribble it in one spot to get it to even work. I also noticed the ink smudges quite a bit, so it’s not ideal if you need quick-drying results.
