Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.4mm), Blue, 12 Count

Paper Mate are the only pens I buy. Never disappoint.

I like a fine point pen, but my husband shopped around until he found this pen. Now it's the only one he'll use. He's a salesman and writes invoices all day. I buy them by the box and they're a great bargain. This is a medium point pen and doesn't leave "globs" of ink on the paper.

These pens are great. Writes smoothly, no smearing. Lightning-speed delivery. Highly recommended..

Doesn't "leak", as other similar pens do. Also, writes at most any angle. My favorite retractable pen.

Better than most, Paper Mate has been around, and it shows in the quality of their pens. I use the Bold Gel Pens, and these ones do not disappoint. 4.5 Stars

we use these pens to keep score in games we play. the bold feature makes it easy for all to read the scores. I will be buying more as soon as these ones start to run low on ink

I've been looking for a good pen for sometime. Being an office supply lover (we do exist :), I am always on the lookout for a good pen. This pen has good balance and a nice ink flow, I have several in use at the moment and none of them leak or skip when I journal or use on the job. Papermate also offers these pens in colors. The colors are bright and catch the eye. I will be using these when i go back to class in the fall.

Looked forward to getting these pens. From what I remembered my hand never became fatigued and the writing never smeared. Don't know if they changed the formula or what, but I ordered 2 boxes each of blue and black ink. So far every prn I've used gives me "globs" or smears. So disappointing!! I send out all of the cards for our church family along with both my husband and my large families. Birthday/anniversary/get well/atta boy (girl)/congrats....So now I am back on the hunt for that perfect pen. Hopefully it will come in blue/black/red.

I have purchased these pens multiple times. The last 2 times I purchased them each box had at least 5 pens that did not work. They are filled with ink but just will not write. I work in a very fast paced environment so do feel frustrated going for pen after pen with no results until I find one that actually writes. When I have a moment to work on the non-writing pens, to get the ink to flow, it is wasted effort as they just seem defective. I will not be purchasing again. I marked fair for the ratings rather than poor due to the fact that some of the pens do work but I am not getting more than 1/3 of what I am paying for.

I like the pens but 4 pens when writing came out green and I had a red pen inside the box. I returned it. Waste of time, money. Ended up buying 2 gelpilot pen refills there since already had the pens at home.
