Paper MateInkjoy 300 Retractable Ball Pen Medium Assorted Fun Colours - (Pack of 40)

Just a joy to write with. I write in my notebooks often and these and always the pens i go for.

I've been buying the inkjoy pens for some time now because they are such smooth writers, extremely good value for money and I love the range of colours available.If I had one tiny criticism it would be that some of the more unusual colours, particularly the orange tend not to be loaded with as much ink as the blues and blacks and run out extremely quickly.I prefer the retractable version as I avoid the risk of getting ink on my clothes when using them at work but can write quickly when I need to without messing about with a lid.

Writes VERY smoothly. I work out in the cold a fair bit and find many other biro's seem to pack up. These flow just nicely. Collects a bit of gunk on the nib tho so need the fingers to wipe them from time to time. Cheap and does the trick.

I have found these pens to be great value for money, as they are good quality and extremely user friendly. In my use of them so far, for writing and drawing, I have found that they flow smoothly without dragging, blobbing or bleeding. Alongside this, their rubber grips make them easy for me to hold.In general, I have also been very happy with the range of colours that this set of pens comes in. The turquoise, pink and purple inks show up well on white paper, however, the lime is a little bit pale in comparison.Overall though, a brilliant product which I would happily purchase again!

Good pens, but they are liable to stop working at certain times. After a while some seem to get 'exhausted' and they start to fade. But after a while they start to work again. This is a problem with quite a few inkjoy pens and a problem I've experienced in the past it's just hit and miss to find a pen that consistantly works. But the benefits of smooth writing outweight the disadvantages of having non-working pens.

Looks very nice, it feels as good as it looks and its very smooth as it says, so its perfect for schools, offices whatever! The reason why i gave it 4 star was because the tube of ink internally is tacky so if that was changed Defiantly 5 STARS.

Design:These pens look sophisticated. The glossy black barrel works nicely alongside the matte rubber grip and the steel clip.Build:Very well built. No squeaking when the pen is squeezed. The clicking action of the button is solid and reassuring.Writing:Very comfortable in hand. The rubber grip does an excellent job of providing a stable gripping surface. Papermate's InkJoy technology means writing feels extraordinarily smooth. Lines of ink are clear and well defined, although not as black as BIC inks. Leakage appears to be minimal.

Seem fine so far. Occasionally get a little dried bubble of ink on the nib if not used for a while but it is easily knocked off and then the pens write straight away with solid lines.
