These metallic gel pens offer a delightful writing experience with their vibrant colors and smooth ink flow. Guests appreciate the comfortable grip and the ability to write on both light and dark paper. The variety of colors adds a fun element to journaling, note-taking, and creative projects. While some pens may have inconsistent ink quality, the overall design and aesthetic appeal make them a great addition to any stationery collection.

I should have read the reviews
I have bought this brand before and loved them, but am so disappointed with these metalics. They don't glide on the paper and the colors are off. The silver is like a gun metal gray and the gold is very light. I will not be purchasing this particular set again.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Metallic Pens. We’re sorry to hear they didn’t glide smoothly and that the colors didn’t match your expectations, especially since you’ve enjoyed other Paper Mate products in the past. Metallic gels can look different depending on the paper surface, but the silver and gold should still appear vibrant. We appreciate you letting us know this wasn’t the case. If you’d like our team to look into this further, each 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

Disappointing
I bought these to grade papers with. I love gel pens but they never last. This is a good brand so I had high hopes. The gold is basically yellow. Way too light. And the bronze one worked to grade three assignments. So it was gone in less than a week. Super disappointed in the short life span of these pens. And only the bronze one is really dark enough to see.

Sparkly and Fun
I tried the three colors out on different papers/materials. The rose gold and gold show up on most backgrounds. The silver is only showing up when you look from an angle and it's looking bluish/slate grey (the black background is the back of the packaging). My gold and silver pens skip a little when I first start using it. Still fun and whimsical, great for 5 dollars

Pretty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to give these 5 stars, but some of the pens write as though they’re drying out already. The ones that do write well are beautiful though! I love the click design for a metallic pen as well

Pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Meh. I've used this brand before, but I wasn't impressed with these pens. The colors just didn't feel saturated and I didn't feel like they wrote as smoothly as I'd like.

Hello. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. To enhance the performance of the pens, we suggest avoiding surfaces that are shiny, smooth, or coated. Before usage, consider warming up the pen by testing it on scratch paper. If the pen fails to start promptly, gently tapping it on the paper may facilitate ink flow. If these steps do not help, please don't hesitate to let us know. Kindly 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 super long lasting for what you get
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love these because I’m a teacher so pens are a big deal for us! It seemed to not last as long as I hoped. The print was fine and the ink didn’t bleed much.

Great pens!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a good gel pen. Paper Mate makes great pens. These colors are really fun, but some of the lighter colors were hard to see. I would opt for a package with darker colors as they were more vibrant!

Beautiful colors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens feel really comfortable to hold and nice texture. The ink is a bit wet and thick which looks lovely but smudges easily. The yellow didn’t show us as strongly but the orange color looks amazing!

Nostalgia in a Pen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is just pure nostalgia in a pen. As a millennial, my heart skips a beat just holding a gel pen, let alone a…metallic gel pen. Needless to say this is a great pen to write cute notes and use for crafts. I could see this writing well over dark paper. I personally offer one of these pens for students to use for their “show work” in school. Kids get excited just like I used to do AND it gets them back on task when they don’t want to write. Only downside with the metallic pens is they can get a little streaky with the wrong amount of pressure or if a piece of something gets lodged somewhere at the tip. Overall a great pen to have on the desk.

Not worth it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for these pens, but they skip a lot, even right out of the packaging! It’s hard to write a full word without it looking like it ran out of ink
