I received my InkJoy pens today. Thank you Cafemom and thank you PaperMate. Its hard to find that "perfect" pen, so when I was offered to try the InkJoy pens I got excited. I was surprised to see how well they worked and the quality of the pens. The triangle shape made it easy and comfortable to grip as it glides across the paper. I was pleased to see the variety of colors and how the color's pop off the paper. The ink dried immediately which was nice, I was expecting it to swear as I was writing. InkJoy pens are worth a purchase, I would recommend them to someone who is looking for a good quality pen. 

I made a weekly chore sheet for my son and a note for my husband for when he gets home from work. I caught myself doodling and finding reasons to use the pens.

Hi! I'm Elyssa, mom to 3 wild boys in Seattle, WA. I got to try out the new Inkjoy pens from PaperMate! I love finding good pens, so I was super excited about this influencer. :)

Well, we got them today, and right away my 10 month old gave them the stamp of approval...

That might just be because he likes anything new...

So, I immediately pulled out all the pens and gave them a  try:

The first thing I noticed was that they aren't round. More like a rounded triangle- which I really liked! Very ergonomical. The ink flow was everything it promised to be, (after the initial start with each new pen), very smooth, even, dark lines. Nothing super fancy, but definitely gets the job done! 

I gave one to my 10 year old, who has problems with fine motor, to try out- and as I suspected, the triangular shape was really good for him to grip and write with, so major plus there! :)

I love all the vibrant colors, and would definitely search these out in the future when buying pens!

Thanks for the opportunity CafeMom!!

 I got my pens today and my family and I love them.  My girls were very excited to try them and they dont' want to let me use them!  They write really nice and they look pretty too!  I do a lot of writing for school and I really liked how they dry fast and they don't smudge.  Also the ink lasted through everything I wrote and my daughters wrote today which is a big plus.  Pens usually run out or they stay wet and smudge which isn't good when you have homework to get done in a short amount of time.  The quick drying is great.

I am very happy to have been chosen for this influencer.  Thank you papermate and cafemom.  I have read some of the reviews from moms whom have received their pens already.  This has made me more excited to try the new pens.  I have not received my package yet.  I will update as soon as they come in!  Thanks again

Got my pens yesterday! so excited!! 

The colors are great, however not sure when I would use an orange or hot pink pen. lol 

Wrote out a list for the store, and I must say they are wonderful to write with. Barely needed any pressure, comfortable to hold. Smooth lines every time.

I would recommend these pens for sure.

I received mine yesterday. I haven't had a chance to use them yet...but I did hide the package from my 6 year old daughter. The colors are so bright and vibrant that I knew she would be immediately drawn to them. Of course, if I know where to look if I can't find them before I get a chance to use them!

 I wasn't really expecting to feel a difference when I picked up the Ink Joy pen.  To my surprise the pen was so comfortable, and felt so natural in my hand.  They write really smoothly and will definately become a must have for my writing needs, at home and at work!  Thanks Cafemom and PaperMate for letting my have the opportunity to experience these!

 I was so excited to see the UPS truck pull in the driveway yesterday with my PaperMate InkJoy pens!!!

Conveniently, my daughter was having a playdate and were tired of playing outside so I let them test out the pens.  They both drew a picture and were proud of their work!

They had a great time with the pens!  The colors are fun and the pens write so smoothly.  I made a to-do list, a grocery list and wrote out a Thank You card with the pens last night.  The ink just "rolls" onto the paper effortlessly.  I have a few letters to write and am looking forward to writing them with my new pens!  Not only are they comfy and write nicely but the colors make everything so much more fun!

I REALLY like writing with these pens.  I love the flow of it....which I haven't really been able to find in awhile.  I like the thickness and the colors!!  I even found a home for it in my office (a craft my oldest made in preschool).
