- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2014Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI recently started working on a project, which requires taking lots of notes and highlighting some stuff. A regular black or blue pen is so dull for those occasions especially, if you are planing to go through your notes quickly after a while. There comes the power of colors.
I recently purchased this set mainly due to its appealing price tag. At less than $3/ pack of eight (thanks to the add on program), this is a great deal. Since receiving them, I had a chance to test them for a few days already. Here is a summary of my few days of experience with these pen:
Pros:
It is very light weight which is a plus for long writing sessions. Each pen weighs 9gr (0.32 oz). In my school years, I remember having suffered a lot from heavy pens while taking lecture notes at a very fast speed.
There is almost no resistance on the paper. it slips like a knife on butter, very smooth writing experience...
The colors are vibrant and can be used to underline stuff.
The rubber grip is a plus, Again, back in my school years, I used to have a lump on my middle finger for all the semester due to very firmly holding the pen. My mom used to cut and sew a piece of cotton to decrease the impact. This has the buffer required to avoid those nasty stuff.
Cons:
Although it is not a big deal, the 1.0 tip size can be found a little too thick by some. Especially for those who are used to writing with 0.7 or even 0.5.
So far my experience is not long enough to comment on the ink levels but if it lasts reasonably okay then everything else is perfectly fine and with my initial experience, I would buy it again...
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2012Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThese pens are really great, and totally worth the price compared to the prices of other packs of the same pen or even those with low quality ink. Even my parents, who are not picky about their writing utensils have commented on how smooth and nice it is to write with the pens. The grip is a perfect medium, they're not so squishy as to become gross and deformed over time but they're not so hard as to be indiscernible from the plastic. I like where they placed the grip, too. It's plenty low so that if you want to write closer to the bottom of the pen for more control you're not going to run out of grip. The click mechanism sounds good without being obnoxiously clicky, although I wish the click part at the top would always be up even when the tip is in use. That's super picky, though.
All the colors are very vibrant and don't smudge very much. I am right handed so I don't have to deal with smudging, but my friend uses these pens who is a lefty and she doesn't worry about it too much. The ink isn't smudge *proof* but honestly there's no such thing as an ink that won't smudge if it's still drying. All the pens have a little wax tip on the pen you have to remove before use, so there's a guarantee that the ink won't ever dry out during shipment or if they've been on the store shelves for a long time which is nice. Also, if you only plan on using one color at a time, you can keep those shelved for a long time before bringing them out and having an ink mess or anything like that.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend these pens if you want a nice, cheap pen that writes super smoothly. For the price and all the color options given to you, you'd be silly not to go for it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI just got these and I am so excited about them. It was only $3 for 8 pens so I added it onto my order expecting to not be impressed. I bought some gel pens in similar colors for 3 times as much money as well. My order arrived and I tested out the gel pens first because those are what I planned on using. Then I tested these pens and wow! The colors are brighter and it is so much more smooth and easy to write with than the gel pens. These pens are now my preferred pens and I'll be using the gel pens as backup for these. I am so happy I added these to my order. Some people are saying that after a year these dry out, I can't say that because I've only just posted my order BUT these are only 38 cents a pen! I have an entire drawer full of pens which no longer work because they are older and paid a whole lot more than 38 cents a pen. If they only last a year that is 3 cents a month per pen. That sounds like an incredible deal to me.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2015Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI'm a homeschool Mom, and I love pens! I use pens quite a lot every day, and I've noticed that it is a noticeable irritation to have an annoying pen when you're correcting school work or jotting something down. I write a lot of schedules and lists and check them off, too. I personally love medium point pens, and love that feel of a pen gliding easily and smoothly across a page. I also happen to really like clicker pens, not just because they're fast and easy to use, but because I don't end up losing a cap and having a bunch of cap-less pens. These pens are a dream! I am so glad that I decided to purchase them. There is a nice variety of colors and they're pleasantly vibrant. I had some fun doodling a quick picture with all the different colors. You won't be disappointed with this set of pens. I actually realized just now that I have been a life long fan of Paper Mate. Every time I've had pens that I really liked, they were always Paper Mate! :)
