Ok pens
I'm on the fence about these pens. The writing is very smooth and the ink does flow nicely. However, I find the pen grip awkward and not great to hold. I also am not sure I like the tip size, it's not my preference.

Very smooth!
I received this product and was super excited to try it. It’s always so hard to find a good pen, and these seem to do the trick. They write very smooth and dry very quickly. No smudging on those important papers!

Good pens!
I like these pens. They write smooth and don't seem to smudge. The only thing that could be better is if the tip was a little finer. The black ink is great and the pens fit in my hand good. I will buy these.

I am IN LOVE with these Papermate Profile pens! I consider myself a pen snob and only like ones that glide well and don't smear everywhere. These fit the bill easily. Try them! You will not be disappointed.

Love this pen!! It writes so smoothly, it doesn’t have that scratchy thing some pens have that I try to avoid. Very smooth, very reliable. The red color is bright enough and the grin is nice. Will buy again.

Does what a pen is supposed to do
We never seem to have enough pens around the house. Especially now when I am working out of the house. These pens have a nice ink flow. The padded grip helps with the arthritis I have recently developed

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
