Q: Are these pens capped? Thanks.

submitted by Cathy - 7 years ago
  • A: They do make a capped pen now, same pen but caps instead of retractable.

    submitted byscrappymomof3 - 6 years ago
  • A: they are retractable, which is good if you loose caps to pens often... its also a good way to pass the time during class/work whatever. repeatedly clicking the top is fun to do.... even though your boss or peers might not agree.

    submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years ago
  • A: Unfortunately, no. They are Retractable Gel Pens in many colors.

    submitted byI Hate It - 7 years ago
  • A: These are retractable and not capped.

    submitted byAH - 7 years ago
  • A: Please, don't let the fact that these pens are retractable keep you from buying them. These Ink Joy are the very best pens I purchased in the past two years. I have other Ink Joy pens..but these..are the best. Also, you might want to give Paper-Mate's Flair pens, a great complement to these Ink Joy pens.

    submitted byRoberta - 6 years ago
  • A: Hey Cathy! These pens are retractable, which makes them great for anybody who loses lids often (I can relate). I hope this helps!

Q: Do these pens bleed through the paper bad?

submitted by Carigan - 8 years ago
  • A: Not at all. The inkjoy pens have smooth, colorful ink that keeps the ideas flowing across the page and brightens your writing.

  • A: Like the first Answer states? They don't bleed.

    submitted byI Hate It - 7 years ago
  • A: nope, not a problem at all!

    submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years ago
  • A: Not at all. I haven't had that issue and I've used these pens on various types of paper.

    submitted byAirykah13 - 7 years ago

Q: Do these pens last a school year?

submitted by R - 6 years ago
  • A: Definitely! I used these pens last year and they are still in great shape.

    submitted byMadison - 6 years ago
  • A: of course! i have used these all throughout my first two years of high school... everything i could have hoped for!

    submitted bythe positive reviewer - 5 years ago

Q: i want to buy these but why should I?

submitted by Ash - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi, Ash! We appreciate your interest in Paper Mate. We recommend InkJoy® Gel Retractable for effortless writing, quick starting without dragging, and writing with minimal hand pressure. An outstanding feature of these gel pens is its quick-drying ink as well as ergonomic comfort grip.

Q: Can you use a highlighter over these pens without bleeding?

submitted by rissak - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Rissak! We appreciate your interest in our products. In line with your inquiry, bleeding depends on the formula of both the highlighter and the writing medium, as well as the paper you use. It’s always best to test highlighters on your specific ink and paper before you highlight large portions of text. Should you need further assistance, please give our consumer care team a call at 1-800-346-3278. For your convenience, we are available Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm EST.

    These pens have the cutest colors but no matter what I do they have "skipped" every time I write with them and it's so frustrating to deal with. I've put them in warm water and done every trick but no matter what they keep skipping.

    Nothing beats a Pilot G2 but these were a close 2nd. My heart broke when the purple pen started to skip my first time using it. Planning on returning these.

    Alessa - 10 months ago
    I’m so bummed I wanted to like these pens so much because the colors are so cute but they skip SOOO MUCH. I love to get new pens for school notes because it makes me more motivated to watch lectures and write notes if I have cute and fun pens to use. But these pens skip so bad it makes note taking more annoying. Def don’t recommend.

    Not smooth at all. The black pen is not retractable. It’s stuck open. Also, the thickness of the pen is not comfortable at all. Not worth the $11 dollars
