Customer Reviews

I purchased a box of these pens and more than half have failed to work right out of the box. I found that disassembling the pen and blowing into the tube may get a bad pen working, but this is a major annoyance. When you find the need to have a scratch pad handy for scrbbling to get the ink flowing again, you quickly learn to buy better pens.
Save yourself the annoyance.

I bought an inexpensive box of Papermate's Write Bros. ball point pens. They are black, medium (1 mm)with no fancy grips etc. After a couple months, and only one person using them, I have 10 out of 36 pens I started with. Why?
1. They don't write consistently, first you have to do the scribble routine to get ink to come out, then, the flow is inconsistent, causing you to go back and re-write over the letters, making your penmanship look like you are epileptic. Post-It notes especially seem to be too smooth of a surface for the pen to actually excrete ink on to the paper, leaving instead deep indentations that permeate down the post-it stack, causing even more subsequent breaks in the line as you use them.
2. I like black ink, so I purchased the black pens. However, when the entire pen is the color black, it is easy to lose. Seriously! Sure, I don't have a flood of florescent lights in my house, but let me make a comparison. Before I purchased this large box, I owned about 5 Bic round stic medium black pens. They are black ink, but the barrel is white and easy to find. I never lost them.
3. After owning these pens for two months or so, I have already had to throw away a pen because it was out of ink. In comparison, those 5 Bic pens I had lasted for at least two years.
I'm sure the higher priced fancy pens Papermate manufactures are capable of working, but they are wasting everyone's time when they make pens so cheap as to literally frustrate the writer as they scream at the pen as you try to make an urgent note while on the phone!
My recommendation is to go with Bic for cheap stick pens.
