Great looking pen - good color ink
I must first say that I haven't not written with a 1.4 tip pen since maybe grade school. I love the look of these pens. It's a great blue shade and it writes nicely as well. My only problem on these is that the tip is so fat and mostly it's just because I'm not used to it. It was kind of awkward writing with it. But it's very smooth across the page and the ink is good so I would still recommend these pens - I just need to find a smaller tip.

Comfortable grip
I go through many black pens a month and find the Paper Mate Profile the perfect retractable ballpoint to use. The ink is smooth flowing making it easy to write with. The point is bold so my notes stand out and are easier to read. Because the pen is clear I am able to see if the ink is running low and the grip is very comfortable, easy to write with and doesn’t leave my finger with a writers bump. I always keep a supply on hand!

Easy writing, bold color
Perfect pen! It writes so smooth and easily, leaving a nice bold color writing behind. It has become my new favorite. It’s very comfortable with its soft gripper. It’s not too big or too small, but the perfect size for holding nice. Effortless writing. I prefer writing over keeping notes and other things in an electronic device and this pen makes it so much nicer. Being a left hander it doesn’t smear when writing either.

Great features!
The Paper Mate Profile Red Ballpoint Pens are retractable and have 1.4 point that glides on paper with such a bold print. I like how easily the pens write and have a comfortable grip which is very relaxing on my hand after writing all day. I also noticed that the ink does not smear or smudge which keeps my writing looking professional. All and all I am very satisfied with the functionality and make of these pens!

Great Pens by Paper Mate
I work in Special Education and go through so many pens. I love the Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ball Point Pens,Bold in Red.
They have a nice grip, don't hurt my hand when using a long time, comfortable to hold and I like that it is retractable.
The pen writes so nice on paper with a bold red color. I have always trusted Paper Mate for high quality products and plan on buying more when these run out.

Paper Mate pen
Got the box of 36 Paper Mate pens, I am really liking how well they write and how much better the ink seems to be on paper. They are perfect size to hold and use. Note: there is a small plastic end on each pen that needs removed to use the pen. Has the indented in where you hold between fingers to help write. I even gave my children a couple in their stockings. I am very happy how well these work.

Absolutely love these pens.....!!!
I love these pens. These are my absolute favorite pens. I do a lot of paper work on a daily basis and I am very picky with my pens. I used these throughout my college years and was able to use the colorful ones. They helped me organize my notes and such. These are easily affordable. They last a long time and they do not smear. They glide easily on paper and have a good thickness. I refuse to us

Smooth writing!
These Paper Mate profile retractable ballpoint pens are the best! These are smooth flowing and long lasting! These are also really great for left handed people as they don't smudge at all. I really like that they are retractable because I don't have to worry about losing my caps! The Red is nice and bring and does not fade with time. Paper Mate makes a good reliable pen you can count on.

Solid, bright, and for everyone
Always losing pens or not being able to find them, getting a bulk box was perfect. These have the little gel ball on the end ensuring that each pen should be fresh and new (don't know why that is a feature I love, but I do). Remove that and click away. Vibrant, bright blue that glides easily. Works great for cards/letters, work docs and more. It's a pen, solid name brand and solid qualy.

Nice pen
This red pen has been really useful for me. As part of my job, I have to review work papers prepared by my staff, and this pen has been really useful to mark up the work papers and write in comments. It has a comfortable grip for writing, and it doesn't smudge which is good as it ensures all of my comments are legible. If you are looking for a red pen, I would recommend this product.

Say no more!
I just love a good quality pen. When it's from Paper Mate, I know I can rely on the quality. I was excited to try this set of four retractable pens in red color -- perfect timing while I am studying for an upcoming exam too! I love the bold tip ballpoint pens so much, they're great. They glide on the paper, it's so comfortable to grasp and write. I would absolutely recommend them!

Love 'em!
I love these bold, vibrant red pens! The color is great and the thickness of the ink is perfect if you like a bold point. They work exactly like I'd expected they would. The retractable feature is definitely preferable to a cap (one less thing to keep track of) and so far, there's been no issues with quality. I would definitely look to purchase more of these in other colors.

Writes SO smooth
There is just something I love about a comfortable pen that writes smooth and consistently, and this pen does that and DIDN'T cost a whole lot! I'm amazed! It is by far my favorite pen now and I would recommend this pen to everyone that has to write a lot and is frustrated by cheapo pens failing them and/or hand cramps. This pen does not of that, and is so satisfying!!!

love these pens
These retractable pens are just the best. I love that I don't have to worry about a lid or loosing a lid and then getting pen marks everywhere if put in a bag. They are even fun to click! These red pens write smoothly and I love that I don't have to push down hard to write. It has a nice rubber gripper so your fingers don't hurt after writing. They're great pens!

Read pins
I got this pack of red pens. I like them because of the point. It’s a very well may peon and I like the way it feels when you are writing with it . I like the design of the paean. When you’re holding it it’s comfortable between your fingers. I like that it is kind of soft when you’re holding it , it doesn’t hurt your fingers when your writing with it for a while .

Ahhhh!
I know I’m not the only one out there who loves a good pen. One that just glides on the paper, no smudging or smearing, one that just fits right in your hand. When you find a nice good pen you almost feel unstoppable, like you could and will write a whole book! Might not be a good book but at least it will be written with a nice pen! Seriously this pen is great!

My favorite pen!
These are definitely my favorite pen! I'm a server in an old school restaurant that still uses paper checks. Needless to say I go through pens pretty quickly. These pens write smoothly and are long lasting. They aren't expensive, so if a customer accidently takes one I'm not really upset about it. They hold up much better than other pens I have tried. Great pen!

It just slides across paper effortlessly!
I am constantly writing. Between my “to do” lists, my appointment book and my journal I have used numerous types/brands of pens. I must say with the 1.4mm point makes the red ink just pop off the page. You can write as long as you like with no hand cramps other pens give you, because it is easy to grip and fits perfectly in between your fingers.

Nice pen
This pen has a nice even flow to it, which makes writing simple and legible. It dries nicely and doesn’t leave streaks at all. I am not the biggest fan of red pens but besides the color, this is a great option for whatever your needs may be in a writing utensil. I would recommend this product to someone looking for a good brand for pens.

I want more!
As someone who keeps losing pens, I think a box of 36 will do me! I keep one in my room, by my couch, on my computer table, in my car, in my purse, anywhere I can think of. I love the smooth writing these have. And I love that it’s click instead of twist or taking the whole cap off and losing it. I’ll definitely be buying another box.

Writes smooth
This pen feels like I’m writing with a marker. The pen casing is light but bright red. I love red so that was a plus for me. The ink is dark not light we’re you would have to go over the writing more than once for it to show. Will smear if you rub it right after you are done writing. have not tried water proof so I can speak on that.

No smearing!
No smearing and such a smooth glide across paper! I love the color red anyways but those to factors make this pen even more amazing! I use it for grading and making notes so I don't have time for messy smearing. Comfortable to hold which is a big plus as well. I will definitely be recommending this particular brand to my co workers!

Smooth writer
We use these pens in the office. With the new working from hme conditions, I wanted to get pens that I was used to working with. I got these in red, which helps with identifying different project completions. These pens aren’t as smooth as gel pens, but they write smoothly for ball point. There is no leaking, bleeding or smearing.

Nice marking pen
This is a good pen to have on hand when you need to mark something so it stands out or just for writing with red ink to be noticed. It's a papermate pen so of course it is great quality. It writes smoothly and the ink is bold. I don't buy red pens often because I don't use them as much, so this pen will last me a very long time.

Great pens
I am enjoying these PaperMate Profile ink pens a lot. I work at a place where we have to use ink pens to fill out time Sheets daily. I shared some of these pens with my coworkers who also have found these to be great pens. They don’t smear or leave ink on your hand and they write flawlessly. Would definitely recommend to others !

Red ink
The Paper Mate profile pen in red is nice. The ink just glides across the paper in a smooth distribution of ink. I prefer click pens like this one because there is less chance of ink staining items while carrying in your pocket or bag. I will definitely continue to use the Paper Mate Profile pen. Super happy with product.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pens. We&rsquo;re sorry to hear that the light blue bold pens have repeatedly stopped writing after only a short amount of use, especially across multiple packs. We understand how frustrating that must be, and this is certainly not the performance we want or expect from our products. You may want to try scribbling the pen on scrap paper for a few moments or gently cleaning the tip, as ink flow can occasionally be interrupted during storage or handling. However, the pens should still write consistently under normal use. We appreciate you bringing this recurring issue to our attention, and your feedback regarding the light blue ink performance will be shared with our team for further review. If the tips above do not help, 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
