Stop and start writing
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately the roller ball inside keeps getting stuck and I’ve had to on many occasions Scribble on scratch paper to get it to start back up. The stop and start writing is annoying. Weight of the pen and hand feel is nice, just wish the mechanism was better quality.

great pen
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this. It is the best that I ever had, this pen has a grip that makes it super comfy when writing for extended periods of time. The ink is a very bright color. These pens are perfect for someone who needs a larger ballpoint size. Those pens perfect for adults and kids, perfect for school or home.

Ok for a marker
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a couple of weeks ago. It seems about the same as other markers comparle to it. It does write smooth and the line is very definitive. I did notice it didn't run or smear like some others. Underlining words it's the right size.

Writes Smooth
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Paper Mate Profile pens in Black. I like how the pens comes in a box containing 36, and the box is easy to open, and easy to close. When I took a pen out of the box, I really liked the overall look of the pen. The pen is lightweight, and I like the grip on the bottom, which is very comfortable. The pen clicks open to expose the ball point, and click again to re-track the ball point. The pen writes very smoothly, evenly, and ha...

Easy to write with
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have a great writing feeling and are comfortable to hold. Being a lefty I find that some pens diapers too much ink and it makes me smear it but that’s luckily not the case with these! They have a nice in hand feeling as well.

Always nice to have on hand
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loose pens alllll the time. I love that these pens come in a bulk 36 pack which I keep in the cabinet nearest my desk for when I lose my pen. They may not be the prettiest to look at but the are great to write with. They are a staple in my classroom.

Classic Red Pens - Paper Mate is the Best
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you are using a red pen, you want it to be good quality, provide even color and enhance your handwriting. Paper Mate never disappoints. I know a quality pen may not seem too important but it is. These don't dry out even if I don't click them back up into the chamber.

Smooth writing!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Paper Mate profile retractable ballpoint pens are the best! These are smooth flowing and long lasting! These are also really great for left handed people as they don't smudge at all. I really like that they are retractable because I don't have to worry about losing my caps! The Red is nice and bring and does not fade with time. Paper Mate makes a good reliable pen you can count on.

Smooth writing instrument
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A truly amazing and smooth rolling writing instrument. These Papermate Profile pens are comfortable in the hand and write so smoothly. I do a lot of writing and these pens last quite a long time. I have used Papermate products for decades and the quality and function is always consistent.

Excellent for stocking up!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the comfortability of Paper Mates Pens. The ink lasts a long time (even after using the pen for 4+ hours a day) and my hand never feels cramped thanks to the grip. The 36ct really helps me by being able to stock up and not run out of my favorite pen for a while.

Smooth writing
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens, per usual definitely do not disappoint. Smooth writing, comfortable to grip. No issues like cheaper pens, where there's still ink but you cant write. Paper-mate as usual never disappoints with there quality.

Good Ballpoint
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paper Mate Profile pens are a good ball point option. If you like to write with ball point you will love these. I especially love the comfort grip that is built into the pen. With all the writing I have been doing recently, it it nice to have the grip on the pen and not have to purchase one.
From papermate
Write great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens write really well and have a nice bold red color. The color doesn't smear after you write. The pens are a great value and are durable. We use them all around our office and are the go to pen. They are comfortable to hold and fit my hand well.

Great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always been a nerd for pens. Anytime I could get them I was super excited. They ALWAYS disappear. I was needing a pack of new red pens for work and got these. I am super happy with my purchase. They write smooth as silk and don’t leave clumps as you’re writing so it leaves no smudge lines. Definitely recommend!

Ok pens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm on the fence about these pens. The writing is very smooth and the ink does flow nicely. However, I find the pen grip awkward and not great to hold. I also am not sure I like the tip size, it's not my preference.
