Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pen Bold 1 mm, Blue Ink/Barrel, Dozen

This has been my favorite pen for the past few years. The box was received in an undamaged condition. Although I've not opened this most recently purchased box, I have had boxes of a dozen in the past, so I expect the same quality. It writes like a gel pen, rarely clotting or skipping, but is pretty dry quickly. You can run a highlighter over this ink without it smearing or running. The ink lasts for a fairly long time, and I've not had to heat the tip to draw more ink out on one yet. The grip is comfortable for me, but it's possible if you have really large hands, you might find it too small. The medium point size is perfect, especially for writers who don't tend to bear down hard while writing, so what you write is very legible, not faint or spidery looking. I keep these pens in various places in the house and my purse so there's always one at hand when I need one. I'll keep buying these as long as they make them!

This is my favorite pen. It's a smooth writing tool. It's perfect for me and I can count on it all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the feel of this Paper Mate ink joy pen in my hand. It is different than your usual round shape so it is more comfortable to hold and doesn't roll away when you set it down. The ink flows smoothly on all different kinds of paper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are by far the best pens I have used! I have spent a lot more money on other writing instruments that were not the quality of these pens. They glide over the paper and make writing a breeze. The color is crisp and I couldn't be happier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What do you hope for out of a box of cheap pens? You hope to have enough laying around that you can find one when you need one, and that it will still write when you go to start using it. These are pretty much tried and true. Can't go wrong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about these pens at first because I'm considered bourgeois when it comes to my writing utensils. But boy did these pens take me by surprise! They gave me a smooth and elegant writing session and I was very pleased with the way my journal entry came out. The pen glided across my notebook easily and effortless. I will definitely be adding these to my pen collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pens, smooth writing, just a joy to use! Good lasting color, black ink. Professional use or for Personal use these are the pens to grab! plastic lid to protect clothes or purse, I also carry a couple in the Glove Compartment on my car. This was a lifesaver yesterday when I went by the Bank's ATM and needed to sign my checks before depositing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very durable and writes well. no blotches when writing or smudges. i really like the value of the pens you get quite a bit for the money the only thing i didn't like was the cap instead of a click pen. the caps tend to get lost easily
