Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens, Metallic Pens, Retractable, Medium Point, (0.8mm) Assorted Colors, 10 Count

The injoy gel pens are my favourite and the only pens I buy, I have many sets ( probably too many) and most work very well. However these Paper mate ink joy gel "Metallic" are not my favourite , the colours are very nice but out of the 10 pens, the purple ( dark and light) hardly write at all, I have tried different types of paper and there is no difference. These were more expensive than my other pens but the writing quality is subpar. If I didn't like the other colours I would return them.

Muy buena calidad, se sienten de buena calidad y su tinta es excelente

The colors are awesome and they write so smoothly! Definitely a good buy and price!! I keep a journal so these are perfect.

They are really nice, but a few don't write that well. They were a little disappointing for me, but the colours that do work are very pretty

These metallic gel pens are pretty on white paper, are a bit scratchy to write with, and are advertised to write on black paper. They look great on white paper, but they are not as vibrant on black paper as I was expecting. I've uploaded a photo of my experience. I also bought a 36 pack of Paper Mate pens, and used a black one to write the description of what type of pens I was using on the white paper. Functionally, the metallics don't write as smoothly as I would have expected. Hopefully, you can see in my example that the metallic ink has a trail through it as it writes. I didn't buy these for myself, though. They are for my 10 year old for a variety of things in school. She likely won't notice the things that I notice when writing and doodling. I believe she will most likely use these for decorating or doodling, so she will have more time to use them and not be as frustrated as one might be if they tried to use these for work, or dictation, under a time crunch. She likes them, so I would say that these are a good value for my money. As with any gel pen, if you don't use them in a timely manner after removing the wax protective tip, then they do dry out and become less reliable.
