Great quality pens
Love the easy and smooth writing of the PaperMate pen in black ink. The pen glides and does not smear. Feel like a expensive pen and doesn't stop writing or smear on the paper like some pens will. A few good writing pen to use.

Great
I bought this last week. I like the bold print. The grips are outstanding; making easier to hold on to with the arthritic fingers! I like to buy paper mate products; they work great! The end is sealed with wax for freshness.

Great pen!
This pen is great for writing my kids' lesson plans. I needed something "thicker" and this was absolutely perfect. Writes smoothly, comfortable grip, and thicker lines. I love them! My go to pen for lesson plans from now on.

I and my kids love how they write. My kids use them for school to write their reports with. I use them for whenever I need a pen to write with. I gave some to my mom to use and my sister. I will recommend to other about these.

Smooth!
PAPER MATE PROFILE 36/CT BLACK are some of the smoothest writing pens I've ever used. Only problem I've had with this pen is everyone keeps stealing them from me, thankfully I had 36 of them. Now everyone in my office has one.

Perfect glide
These pens are perfect. They do not smudge or smear. They glide on the paper. They have the perfect color of blue and they are from a company i use the most. The amount that comes in the pack is just the right amount as well.

I have never been a huge fan of gel pens but this one for sure changed my mind. It is easy to hold, easy to use, and writes beautifully. So glad I have these, not sure I'll ever use another pen. These go everywhere with me!

Smooth writing
These pens, per usual definitely do not disappoint. Smooth writing, comfortable to grip. No issues like cheaper pens, where there's still ink but you cant write. Paper-mate as usual never disappoints with there quality.

Pen
This pen writes really good. The color red is a dark red and shows up really good. It’s a click pen and has a rubber grip on bottom of pen so when you’re writing you can grip better. The 1.4mm pen writes really smooth.

Great pen
I love that the pen retracts and you can see what you write/mark. I need a broader ink line in my job and ease of use is a big help. It saves me time and my work looks better. I love the extra cushion, great idea.

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
