I have always had a propensity to collect office supplies, and pens in particular. I have had strong opinions on pens I do and don’t like throughout my adult life. I love the Inkjoy Gel pens for many reasons, and I stockpile them each school year and put them on my wish list when the PTA does Secret Pals. I love the feel, the smoothness, the lack of smearing, and of course, all the colors. I color-code so many things in teaching: each class is assigned a color in my folder system, and I use that same color for anything related to that class in my planner. My gradebook uses color for everything from the type of assignment to whether it is missing, was submitted late, was incomplete, or was revised for any reason. And then I use the other colors in my collection for notes, journaling, etc. And since purple is my favorite color, this limited edition set in varying shades of purple and pink could not be passed over. (Side note: I don’t like the ballpoint version of the Inkjoy nearly so much, and it largely boils down to the quality: the pen looks and feels cheaper in my hand, and the ink is not as bold. It is however, better at writing overtop of a highlighter, for those times I had to white-out something in my planner or gradebook and then highlight the section first — so the ink doesn’t smudge and end up on the tip of the highlighter. The gel pens DO bleed in this instance if you don’t wait to make sure the highlighter is completely dry before writing the new grade, etc…and when I’m in a grading crunch, I tend to lack the patience to wait long enough, so I do keep a small batch of the ballpoint variety in my pen bag.)

I absolutely love these pens!! They write very nice and smooth. These ones were reasonably priced, and I wish the other ones where a lot low price like these ones.

I cannot say enough good things about these pens. I have them in every color and I was very excited to get this item as a gift for my new supervisor. As a left-handed person, I really love these pens because they do not smear. There are so many color options and they seem to last quite a long time.

beautiful colors and write great

I love InkJoy pens! They are so vibrant and smooth. They don’t leave any ink blobs and even write well on slick paper, with some drying time. I’ve been using my first set for years and they still write just as well as on day one.These are and always will be my go-to pens for my planner.

By far my favorite pens ever. They glide and don't bleed. They write like butter on silk. I am a teacher and I only use ink joy and flair pens for grading. They are an art for in themselves. I love writing with them. They are comfortable in my hand, durable, they don't bleed or blot. They dry quickly for left handed friends, and never fail to provide vibrant rich color. I can't say enough about how much I love these pens.

I've loved papermate pens for years, these are comfortable to write with and the colors are beautiful. They're not the smoothest and sometimes you have to dismantle them and blow on the end of the ink cartridge to get it working again, but over all they're functional and pretty.
