Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.4mm), Black Ink, 12 Count - Writing, Journaling, Office Supplies

My favorite ballpoint pen of all time. I've purchased and used this brand for many years and always keep a couple near at hand. The ink flows quickly and smoothly. The written text is always stays clear with very little or usually, no blurring or smeaks.

Durable, writes smooth

I have always loved the quality and smooth writing of Papermate pens. Due to Papermate pens being a little more expensive than their competition, the Papermates pens I have bought in the past were used only in my office and I used cheap, stick pens for every day use in the field since most of the time I need to carry them in my front pants pocket and frequently loosing the plastic cap that covered the tip when not in use. One day while I was at the store to buy more of the cheap stick pens, I saw the Papermate Profile pens and bought a 5-pack of them to see how they would work as my everyday field pen. I found them to have extremely good durability considering I carry them in my front pants pocket of blue jeans or other heavy duty work pants. If I need them to mark a cutting point while doing construction, they will mark on wood, metal, plastic, or any material I have ever used them on, and then still write like the day they came out of the package new, on paper when I write out a receipt. Another thing they do that I have never found in a competitor's pen is begin writing from where I make contact with the paper or material as soon as I begin moving it. So many times with a competitor's pen, a customer would start giving me information I needed to write down, but when they would start, I would have to interrupt them to stop until I could find a scratch piece of paper or other surface to scribble on until it would begin writing and then apologize for the interruption and ask them to repeat it now that I had a working ink pen. With the Papermate Profile, I have never, and I mean "never" had that happen, and I'm on my third 12-pack of them. So to put it in a nut shell, I give them 5-stars for durability, 5-stars for retractability function, 5-stars for writing quality and comfort, and 5-stars with economics. There isn't a better ink pen on the market for what I need a pen for. Stop your R & D Papermate! They can't get any better for the price.

Paper mate pens are the best I threw all my other pens away

I love that there 1.4 Very large ball point lines

I love these pens but the only issue I have is that they do bleed a lot. I haven’t gotten one without bleeding ink. They do last a while despite of them loosing ink while they bleed.

Even though I have not used this product yet. This product appears to be as described and will function as intended. Shipping and packaging were good. It was a good purchase.

Favorite brand of mine. I have arthritic hands and these pens gide along when I take notes for work daily.

Write nicely and I love the 1.4mm point.

These are the best pens ever! They write so smoothly and effortlessly, so they prevent writing fatigue.

Las mejores plumas en el mundo mundial!!

Great pens with a firm grip and smooth writing!

great product
