Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate InkJoy 50ST Ballpoint Pens. We&rsquo;re sorry to hear that the pens were uncomfortable to use and did not provide the writing experience you expected. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially during extended use. Writing comfort can sometimes vary depending on grip style, pressure, and personal preference. Using a lighter writing pressure may help reduce hand strain, but we understand that comfort and ease of use are very important. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and your comments will be shared with our team as we continue reviewing product design and user comfort. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate&reg; Consumer Care

What's the difference between the 50ST and the 100ST? Do both use the same ink?

Hi, Kim0000. The PaperMate InkJoy 50ST Ballpoint Pens have a reliable, fluid ink formula starts fast to take the drag out of writing. These smooth-writing pens feature vivid ink so all your writing suddenly becomes more fun. While the PaperMate InkJoy 100ST Ballpoint Pens have a smooth, fast-starting writing system that spreads ink easily so writing&rsquo;s never a drag. Have a nice day!
