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

These pens always write nicely and are smooth on the paper. They last a long while and feel comfortable in hand the whole time. The grips outlast the ink every time.

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.

I love these. I really like bold pens. Great value.

Love using them. My writing looks better.

good product fast shipping

I really like the wavy these pens write although they don't seem to hold much ink as I go through them very fast compared with pens of the good old days. Also I ordered black but got , black and blue, but perhaps that was just a one time error.

These 1.4 mm pens are the best. They write smoothly and beautifully. They make a bold mark and don't leak.

Very pleased with these pens, I don’t have the greatest of handwriting, but these pants seem to glide across the page and make my ease and esses and eyes look like they’re supposed to look. I do a lot of handwriting letter writing and I use these pens for taking notes when I’m out, and they are reasonably priced

When I first used this pen in the US - I audibly said, "Wow - this is so smooth!". It's the same reaction I get whenever I encourage other people to try the pen. It has ruined other pens now: They feel like scratching a jagged blade across paper.

great product

Writing with these pens are equal to eating a freshly made croissant.

Las mejores plumas en el mundo mundial!!

I did a shop to test a wide variety of pens and this came out as my favourite. great grip and the ink flow is always smooth and consistent.
