This is the 2nd time I purchased these pens. The purple orange and red are great. I made the second purchase because the blue and green ran out of ink very quickly. I was very dissappointed by this but the gel colors are great. Wish the pack had a black and royal blue.

The pens are not smooth flowing and stick when writing. Economical for projects with multiple colors but not for heavy writing.

I bought the pens to work on a project requiring colored inks. Three of the five pens don’t work. I do not recommend them.

I tried them at the store display and liked how they wrote and felt in my hand so I bought some. My new pens are easy to hold on to they write very smoothly and they were less expensive than my previous favorite pens. I use all the colors for my notes in class. And I have already recommended them to classmates. I just wish there were more colors available. Thanks!!

Liked the feel of the pens but not working well

I started experiencing "skips" within a day or two of light use the pen would not write and had to be shaken several times even after this it continues to not be consistent with ink. I I have replaced with another brand. So while I like the quick dry aspect of the gel pens which is the reason I have stayed away from them in the past and I liked the feel of the pens in my hand and how smooth they wrote I am not happy with how quickly they started having issues. A pen is no good to me if it stops writing so soon.

I have used the plain black and blue TRU RED brand pens without any problems. In fact that's why I bought (and paid outrageous shipping) for the same brand in different colors. Not all but a couple of these colors skip when writing. I'm hoping that will stop after some use but that's the only reason I didn't give this product 5 stars. The pen has a very soft feel is light to hold but doesn't feel too cheap. The ink is quality opaque and as advertised dries very quickly. I enjoy making work just a little bit more fun with these pens.
