About Paper Mate InkJoy Pens, Gel Pens, Fine Point (0.5 mm)
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
69% appreciated the quick drying time, but 31% found it dried slowly
The pens stopped working suddenly and the ink dried up when there was about 0.5 inch of ink left.
All my pens dried up and became unusable within a month, even when I kept them in the desk between uses.
I am frustrated that the pens dried out after only a year of light use, and every single one was dried out.
Some pens did not work from the day I got them, while others dried out within a week or two.
66% liked the waterproof ink, whereas 34% found it less effective
The pens are useless for me as they are not waterproof and the ink bleeds heavily.
66% liked the durable tip, while 34% found it wore down
I experienced poor tip durability of the pen when one of its tips broke off.
67% praised the smudge-resistant ink, yet 33% didn't
The gel pens claim to be smudge resistant and dry fast, but in reality, they smear all over my notes unless I wait for them to dry before continuing to write or turning a page.
When I used the 0.7 pen, it smudged.
68% praised the comfortable grip, but 32% found it slippery
When I write notes, the grip of this pen can be tiresome because it is slightly more bulky than other pens.
I find the pens have a reasonably comfortable grip and bright colors, but the ink flow is not as smooth as expected.
The pen's grip is uncomfortable for extensive note-taking, causing rawness and irritation due to pressure.
78% liked the wide range of colors, but 22% didn't
While writing, I find lighter colors like yellows and light greens to be not visible.
