Hi! My name is Annie and I'm a busy mom of 3. I'm always having to fill out something for school or write notes. So when I got these pens I was very excited :-) I love the shape, different colors and they make writing so much easier! Not to mention the smooth ink.
Thanks to these pens I finally got around to writing my grandma back,lol.
I got the pens in yesterday's mail, and I used them today to create a shopping list. I loved how easy they were to write with. I noticed that the ink goes down evenly, even with little pressure. Having to apply little pressure while writing prevents my hands from cramping up. I'll admit that initially I was not sure I would like that the pens have a triangular shape, but it really did make them easier to grip.
I loved that I recieved a multi colored pack. Having the novelty colors will be great for organization of lists and also look nice for making our cards during the holidays. I'm very pleased with the pens, and I would recommend them to friends and family. Plus, I would buy these pens in the future.
I was so excited to be chosen to be a part of the Cafemom Influencer program to test the PaperMate Inkjoy pens. My name is Lynn and I am a wife and mom to a 7 week week old sweet little boy and we live in Florida.
I was surprised to see a package of colorful pens arrive; I was only expecting black or blue! The colors included were:
Black
Blue
Pink
Purple
Orange
Green
Lime
Brown
Red
Light Blue


I am a CPA so most of my work is on the computer, but I do get alot of paperwork to check and approve. Since other people use black or blue ink, I like to use other colors so people know whick marks are mine. I also write daily to do lists and sometimes write out my blog posts before I type them to make sure I get all my ideas out.
I used every color. Some colors are more vibrant than others. The lime green and orange inks are pretty light. My two favorite colors are the pink and purple (it was a little weird writing in brown). I liked the medium point and the pen is easy to hold due to its thick body. The cap is quite difficult to to take off and on, I like click pens better. They don't write as smoothly as a gel pen, but write pretty well for a ballpoint pen in this price range without the smearing of a gel pen.
It would have been better if they had finger cushions on them. My finger started to hurt after using them for a little while, but that's because the pens I normally use have cushions, so my fingers aren't used to it.
Ultimately, I will continue to use these pens for my casual writing needs...especialy those to do lists, which are more fun with colors!


I was lucky enough to get picked to try out the pens. I love them!! They write so smooth and work every time. I run a group here on CM for a TV show (Big Brother) and have to take notes during the show. There has been so many times when I go to write something and the pen suddenly gives out. I can see it has ink it & no matter how hard I shake it nothing. Not these pens! I have taken notes 3 times now and not had one problem. I love that they come in different colored ink. My group has a sister group I run also and it has no spoilers. I was able to take notes for both groups using 3 pens. One for the spoiler group in 1 color, another color for the non spoiler group and then the 3rd for stuff that goes in both groups. My kids love to steal by pens but have been told these are mommy's special pens and they are not allowed to touch. My hubby works in a restaurant & yesterday I was telling all the waitresses how awesome the pens work!
Loving these pens! I usually use Pentel fine point but these are awesome pens to write with. They came in just in time for me to fill out my calendar. We are all so busy that I color code it. I usually use red, black, blue and green but now with these pens we can actually have fun colors that will catch my attention!
I tend to get hand cramps while writing but I filled out two months in my calendar (which doesn't sound like much but believe me it is) with no pain.
Thank you so much Cafemom, not only for choosing me but for introducing me to a new brand of pen that I love:)
