These are (seriously) the best gel pens ever!
Color: Black
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
If you are reading this, you probably care a lot about the best cheap pens you can buy. tl;dr: just buy these already! Compared directly with the Pilot G2 and Pentel Energel (both in 0.5mm and 0.7mm), these Inkjoy 0.5mm gels are hands down my favorite. Yeah, I had written off Papermate as a contender long ago too, and I'm glad I gave them another try. I never thought I could find a pen that: 1. Could write smoothly like a fountain pen 2. Could draw accurately like a felt-tip 3. Had deep dark ink like a Sharpie But the Papermate Inkjoy 0.5mm gel does that, all for about $1 a pen. I know you care about this, so some head to head comparisons: vs. Pilot G2: - The Inkjoy is MUCH smoother. The 0.5mm Inkjoy feels similar in smoothness to the G2 0.7mm, and the 0.7mm Inkjoy is smoother still (though the line on the 0.7mm is broader, which is why I prefer the 0.5mm generally). - The darkness of the ink is similar, though I find the darkness of the Inkjoys to be more even than the 0.5mm G2. vs. Pentel Energel: - Pentel Energels are renowned for their smoothness, and overall I have to say the Energel 0.7mm is the smoothest pen in this class. - However, the 0.5mm Inkjoy is smoother than the Energel 0.5mm and ALMOST as smooth as the Energel 0.7mm - And, the Inkjoy is much better for line drawing. Thinner line and more consistent darkness, whereas the Energel feels more "ballpoint-like" to me when drawing (messier and less consistent line). 0.7mm vs. 0.5mm: The 0.7mms InkJoys are much more common, and I got a pack of them first. They write phenomenally smooth, but I found them a bit too wet. The stroke comes out closer to a 1.0mm bold. I found the 0.5mm to be a better all-in-one package. And here's the clincher for me: I find that I can get a writing experience pretty close to a fountain pen with the InkJoys - that is write with little pressure. The only other gel pen I've had this experience with before is the Energel 0.7mm. However, that same 0.5mm InkJoy also lets me draw as precisely and accurately as with a 0.5mm G2. I've tested these on a variety of paper, mostly on common cheap spiral-bound notebooks. That's another point: Gel pens (in general) work great on cheap paper where fountain pens flounder, and the InkJoys are no exception. The one slight downside I've found is that the InkJoy ink does tend to be wetter and bleeds through thin paper at spots. Mainly a problem for the 0.7mm, and only at criss-cross points when drawing with the 0.5mm. Not an issue for me, as I just write on one side of the sheet, but might be something to consider if you want to use thin paper like in Moleskines. If you've read all this (and probably dozens of other reviews too), I highly recommend just getting a cheap pack and trying them out. Papermate has a winner on their hands.

Smooth writing and long lasting
Color: Black
Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
I purchased these pens for my teen daughter. She is very picky about her pens and she loves the way the Paper mate Inkjoy Gel pens write. She is taking several AP courses and takes a lot of notes in class and goes through a lot of pens. These seem to last longer and she does not complain of the ink smearing on her hands as she takes notes. Pros: The Paper Mate Inkjoy pens last longer than some others we have tried. There is no ink residue or smearing on her hands as the ink dries quickly. They write smoothly and have not had to do the annoying scribble before you start writing to get the ink flowing thing. Cons: These pens are a little more pricey than some others, but they work well. Overall: These are good pens I will buy again. I can easily recommend these pens.

A great gel pen.
Color: Black
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
I am a gelpen-aholic. I kept seeing the commercial for these pens and decided to dry it based on the smudge free comments. And it's true. I write a lot at work and have to highlight often and my gel pens ALWAYS RUN. Not this pen. Very impressed at the quick dry ink. I wouldn't use it on a glossy surface because it will take longer to dr, od course, because the ink has nothing to soak into. But if your using this for regular writing, school work, etc., then its perfect. I love the thin tip (I don't want to feel like I'm writing with a marker) and the rubber feel of the pen. It makes it very comfortable to use for long periods of time. This is the best gel pen I've ever owned (and I've owned and used TONS). Definitely a great pen and I would recommend this to everyone.

Amazing pens
Color: Black
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
These pens are amazing. I'm pretty picky about my pens & it can sometimes be tricky to find 0.5 point gel pens in stores, so I turned to Amazon. The ink flows so smoothly, no scribbling necessary, it instantly writes every time. Ink is also dark but dries so fast, you'd almost need to be trying to ever smudge it. My favorite part though is the grip. The rubberized part covers more of the pen than I'm used to, so it's comfortable no matter how you hold it. Very happy with these.

Smoothest writing pen ever!
Color: Black
Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
I discovered Paper Mate Ink Joy pens a year ago and now they are the only pens I buy. They write so smoothly. I personally love the fine point which are perfect for writing in small spaces like checkbook registries. The ink dries immediately and never smears and is permanent. They come in an amazing range of color options also. Best pens ever!

pretty good
Color: Black
Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
I ordered a 4 pack of these pens to give them a try as I really like the medium point ink joy gel pens but wanted a finer line. The first pen was a flow, it did not write smoothly or consistently release ink....the second, third and forth wrote well, smooth and consistent. Sometimes you get crappy pens...and this is the first flop I've had in many paper mate ink joy pens.

Very Smooth Writing, Thin lines dry fast & reduce smudging, Generous Ink supply !!
Color: Black
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
__ Ink Joy's have surprised us and several others with their ultra-smooth writing properties... it's something you have to try to appreciate. __ The Ink Joy's write quite well on many (but not all) surfaces that other pens and gels don't handle well. __ The ink dries quite a bit faster than most other pens or gels and thereby avoids smudging as long as the line are typical single stroke entries -- a real bonus to people who must handle paperwork considerably after filled-out. (Note that multiple stroke entries that you've made to thicken lines or make entries solid on a hard to write-on surface do NOT dry faster than normal and will smudge easilly for quite a while.) __ These pens appear to last longer than many others - more ink supply - under the usage that I give them daily. The quality of the tip and the extra-easy writing advantage seem to hold up very well over extended life of the pen, too. __ BOTTOM LINE: An amazingly smooth writing experience that outperforms and outlasts competitors for a nice price, especially when the longer useful life is also considered.

Great gel pen
Color: Black
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
Pattern: Pens
I’m not typically a fan of gel pens and typically avoid using or purchasing them. I ordered these thinking they were ballpoint and was initially disappointed when I saw the package say gel. I decided to go ahead and try them and was SO SURPRISED that I actually liked them! The fine point is perfect and does not leave a glob of ink like some other gel pens do. The ink line also dries fast on paper so that you don’t accidentally smear your writing.
