Q: Are these like gel pens where they take forever to dry?

submitted by Sophia - 8 years ago
  • A: No these are not like gel pens

    submitted bysergio - 8 years ago
  • A: No, they don't take forever.

    submitted bySubToMe - 6 years ago
  • A: Hello, Sophia! Paper Mate InkJoy 300RT is not a gel pen. It is a ballpoint pen. As for the drying time, it would greatly depend on the surface to which the ink is applied and the quantity of ink deposited.

Q: Are these pens okay to write in a bible with?

submitted by Emma - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us. Paper Mate InkJoy 300RT Ballpoint Pens generally perform well on thinner papers, including many Bible pages. While results can vary depending on the specific paper type, most users find that these pens write smoothly with minimal bleed‑through. We do recommend testing the pen on a small, less‑visible page such as the notes or index section, just to make sure you’re happy with how it looks in your particular Bible. Writing with a light hand can also help reduce any potential shadowing. If you have any more questions, 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 quality, would not recommend.

    Hello Sonia! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m really sorry to hear that the Paper Mate Ink Joy 300RT 8pk Ballpoint Pens (1.0mm) didn’t meet your expectations. You deserve pens that write smoothly and consistently, and it’s disappointing when the quality doesn’t match what you were hoping for. Sometimes ballpoint pens can feel dry if the ink hasn’t fully reached the tip, so here are a few simple tips that may help if you still have them: 1. Give the tip a few quick scribbles on scrap paper to help the ink start moving. 2. Store pens horizontally to keep the ink evenly distributed. 3. Warm the pen slightly by holding it in your hand for a moment — this can help if the ink has thickened. 4. Check that the tip’s protective wax seal (if present) has been fully removed. If you need any further assistance or would like to explore other writing options, you can always visit our official website for support and product information. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am -5 pm Eastern Time. Thanks! Papermate Consumer Care Team

    Favorite teacher pens

    I love these pens/markers for writing in general, but the colors also pop so well when giving students feedback as a teacher! They don’t bleed through the paper either.

    Cheap Quality

    Cheap quality. When you write, it ends up blotchy and clickers don’t work. Much more recommend inkjoy pens, worth the splurge. But good amount of pens for price.
