Paper Mate InkJoy 100ST Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), Assorted, 18 Count

Great pens. Ink is very dark and legible and it hardly takes any pressure to write, as the pen point glides easily across the paper. Good everyday pens and a good valiue.

I am SO pleased with these pens! I have three in service now in my home office; the rest are safely tucked away to use as I need them. The ink colors are bold. They write smoothly. The caps fit firmly, but aren't so tight that they're a struggle. I usually prefer retractable gel pens, but for this price I couldn't resist. Now I'm VERY happy with this purchase.

I love these pens. Quality is nice, write great and was pretty affordable. Easy n fun to use with so many different colors.

I love these pens. They are great quality and the colors are vibrant. I love the color variety in the pack as well. The writing is very smooth and no smudging considering I’m left handed. I use a rubber grip on these pens though because it is a little awkward for me to grip the pen. I will continue to purchase these !

These pens come in a variety of colors and I like that there are repeats of common colors you tend to use more of. I purchased one pack and was so impressed with the quality and value for how many pens in a pack that I then purchased two more packs for back to school.

The media could not be loaded. Pros:1. Beautiful Vibrant Colors – The pens come in a wide variety of colors, and they really pop on paper. Whether you’re taking notes, journaling, or decorating, the colors stand out and make writing look more fun and creative.2. Smooth Writing Experience – The ballpoint tip glides nicely across the paper without much scratching. Writing feels effortless, which is great for longer use.3. Good Ink Flow & Thickness – The thickness of the lines is bold enough to be easily visible, which makes it ideal for headings, doodles, or adding emphasis to your notes.4. Affordable & Practical – Compared to some high-end pen brands, these are budget-friendly while still offering a decent writing experience.5. Works Better on Matte Paper – On matte or textured paper, the ink sets faster. Smudging is minimal, so the writing looks neat and clean.⸻Cons:1. Smudges Easily on Glossy Paper – The biggest drawback is how the ink reacts on glossy or smooth paper. It doesn’t dry quickly, so smudging is a big issue if you touch it right away.2. Slow Drying Time – Even on matte paper, the ink takes longer to dry compared to regular ballpoint pens. This can be frustrating if you’re writing quickly or flipping pages.3. Not Ideal for Left-Handed Writers – Because of the slow drying time, left-handed users might struggle with constant smearing as their hand moves across the page.4. Ink Consistency Can Vary – Sometimes the ink flow is heavier on smooth surfaces, which can cause little blobs or uneven strokes.5. Limited to Certain Surfaces – If you mostly use glossy notebooks, photo paper, or planner inserts with smooth coating, these pens may not be the best choice.⸻✅ Final Verdict:If you’re someone who loves vibrant colors, bold thickness, and smooth writing on matte or regular paper, these pens are a great option. But if you mainly use glossy or coated paper, the smudging and slow drying time can be a dealbreaker. They’re best for creative projects, journaling, and note-taking on standard paper.

These pens are great. They write so smoothly almost as if they are gliding on the paper. The colors are very nice also. Great for journaling. Will definitely continue to buy these!

Best pens ever.They are reliable and inexpensive. What more do you need in a pen??
