Great pens
I got Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pens,red 4 count from tryitsampling. These pens are pretty good. They're big enough go get a good grip on but not too big as to seem bulky. These pens write pretty smoothly. They also have a nice red ink great for taking notes or just doodling. I like these pens alot.

Great!
I’ve always been a nerd for pens. Anytime I could get them I was super excited. They ALWAYS disappear. I was needing a pack of new red pens for work and got these. I am super happy with my purchase. They write smooth as silk and don’t leave clumps as you’re writing so it leaves no smudge lines. Definitely recommend!

Great working pens!
These PAPER MATE PROFILE 36/CT BLACK pens are really nice. They work really well, write very smoothly, easy moving pen. The pens feel very comfortable in my hand. They write very nice on many kinds of papers and the ink does not bleed.
I keep them in the car, at home, at work because they write really nice.

Dependable, consistent pen!
You can't go wrong with the Papermate Profile blue ballpoint pen. It is smooth and glides as you write. Very dependable pen that I can always count on and you can, too! I like that they are retractable, as well, instead of with a cap. super easy to use with just a click of the button and you are good to go!

Writes Smoothly
The Paper Mate Profile has a cover on the tip of the pen that needs to be removed before being able to use it. Once it is removed the pen writes smoothly. I like the rubber piece that is on the top part of the pen that makes it easier to grip and stay in place while writing with it. Works well all the time.

Work great
Writing with this pen is very comfortable and the pen glides across paper easily.
The pens function as they should, the clicker works just fine and removing the wax cap is easy.
Overall, I highly recommend these. I wish they had other colors for the ink (which they might but I only found these red ones)

great pen
I love this. It is the best that I ever had, this pen has a grip that makes it super comfy when writing for extended periods of time. The ink is a very bright color. These pens are perfect for someone who needs a larger ballpoint size. Those pens perfect for adults and kids, perfect for school or home.

Love paper mate!
It writes so smoothly and glides well across paper, the ink is also very bold and exactly what I wanted. Paper mate never disappoints. I use these to write in my planner and cross off my to do list and so far every pen I’ve used is the same. All in all perfect quality pen that can be used for anything.

Nice
I go through pens a lot and always looking for new ones. These pens are nice especially if you’re moving fast. No more taking the top off or losing it. Just press the top down and start using. Do the same when you’re done. The red ink is very bold and the pen itself is very comfortable to write with.

These pens are great. Very visible red stands out for notes and annotations. The pen is so smooth, it is a pleasure to write with these.
Biggest problem I have now is keeping my kids from “borrowing” mine and not giving them back. May have to start locking these up. Thank goodness for the 4-pack.

Disappointed in the flow.
I received this pen in the mail and it sat for about two weeks in the package. When using this pen to write full paragraphs I noticed that the ink would slow off and on, or kind of catch and I would have
to go back and rewrite small spots. It’s possible that it dried while sitting in the package.

Very smooth writing
These pens glide on the paper. Extremely smooth writing. I haven't experienced any ink skipping either. The grip is very comfortable too. One unfortunate aspect though is that it does require a bit of time to dry. I have had a few too many ink smudges while writing with these, but not bad overall.

Good Ballpoint
Paper Mate Profile pens are a good ball point option. If you like to write with ball point you will love these. I especially love the comfort grip that is built into the pen. With all the writing I have been doing recently, it it nice to have the grip on the pen and not have to purchase one.

Smooth writing instrument
A truly amazing and smooth rolling writing instrument. These Papermate Profile pens are comfortable in the hand and write so smoothly. I do a lot of writing and these pens last quite a long time. I have used Papermate products for decades and the quality and function is always consistent.

Great pen
These pens are very comfortable to hold and write with, even for long periods of time. I haven’t had any issues with ink smearing either, which is great. Some pens are very scratchy sounding as they write, but these write very smoothly. I will definitely be purchasing more of these.

Smooth Pen
I really liked this paper mate pen. It writes smoothly, no ink gloops on the page, doesn't skip and the grip is super comfortable. Also the tip doesn't get ink caked at all. I write a lot and after writing a paper end up with an callus. The nice soft grip stops that from happening

These pens write good. I use them for taking notes and marking and they work wonderful. They have a good red color to them. They have a good grip and are easy to hold onto. They are lasting well and I am pleased with them. My boys use them in school and say they work great too!

Great pen for everyday use
Paper Mate pens are a great options, and the Profile pens are not the exception. These pens write very well, the ink is very dark and it writes smoothly with very minimal bleeding.
The grip and the retractible point are a fantastic addition for extra comfort and convenience.

These pens write very well without the smear like gel pens. I do like how nearly gel pens write but dislike getting ink on my hands when I am writing alot. Very comfortable grip and writes nicely. I would recommend to anyone who writes alot and don't want ink on your hands.

Classic Red Pens - Paper Mate is the Best
When you are using a red pen, you want it to be good quality, provide even color and enhance your handwriting. Paper Mate never disappoints. I know a quality pen may not seem too important but it is. These don't dry out even if I don't click them back up into the chamber.

Nice Pens
The Paper Mate Profile 36 count black pens are a nice addition to my office supplies. The box is loaded with 36 pens that have a beautiful medium point ink flow. The pens are super good and always so dependable. I love how the ink flows out of the pens and onto the paper.

Stop and start writing
Unfortunately the roller ball inside keeps getting stuck and I’ve had to on many occasions Scribble on scratch paper to get it to start back up. The stop and start writing is annoying. Weight of the pen and hand feel is nice, just wish the mechanism was better quality.

Excellent for stocking up!
I love the comfortability of Paper Mates Pens. The ink lasts a long time (even after using the pen for 4+ hours a day) and my hand never feels cramped thanks to the grip. The 36ct really helps me by being able to stock up and not run out of my favorite pen for a while.

These pens work well for many uses. The ink isn't blotchy and doesn't run. I am able to get a consistent line. I dont have to scribble to get ink to come out. They seem to last long time as I write a lot. Overall great product that I will definitely buy more of.

Got these as I am a mom/teacher who is constantly losing pens. The grip is comfortable even for a left hander like myself. The ink doesn’t get all over me like some other brands. It writes smoothly and lasts a long time with the ink. Definitely love this brand!

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
