Product Description

Unique triangular barrel with large, soft, comfortable, full-length grip lets you write comfortably all day. Lubriglide ink system allows smooth, skip-free writing. Super-smooth ink is bold, vibrant, and vivid. Quick-drying to keep your documents clean and smudge-free. Retractable click-advance protects purses and pockets. I’m addicted to these pens. They’re comfortable, don’t clump or glob ink, and they write smoothly. Definitely my favorite, and I’ll be keeping some in stock Paper Mate Comfortmate Retractable

As for their drying out, I had one of these babies for THREE years, and it just now started to run out of ink. So in my experience, they don’t dry out quickly at all. If this new batch does happen to dry out faster (maybe they’re made differently now?), I’ll edit my review. But so far, so good!

Like a previous reviewer, this pen is absolutely my favorite pen, which sounds a bit absurd. However, I find that the way the ink flows when I write is more to my liking than any other pen, including the Mont Blancs I’ve used. The ink flow has very little friction, so I can write very quickly. I agree that the precision is excellent as well. I discovered these pens when my workplace purchased them, and I kept the one pen I had for 2 years before finally purchasing a box of them. I aim to use this style of pen exclusively from now on.

So I think these pens get the job done. I use them as a server in a restaurant mainly to let the guests use to sign the receipt so I don’t care if they skip here and there. In my opinion, they write well. I have had no ink explosions and the clicker on the top works fine. So really nothing to complain about. Now if I needed to use these for school or write an extensive amounts of notes or were in a position that required me to write a lot, I would say choose another retractable pen like the G2 Gel pens which are amazing but so expensive. I was looking to save on cost since I don’t write that much at work but for someone who needs pens religiously and needs them to function well no matter what I would say choose another one because they will skip on occasion, unless you are okay with continuously scribbling on a piece of paper to get the ink to start flowing and having to shake the pen vigorously here and there (but not so often). They are bearable for me for what I do, but for someone else not so much Paper Mate Comfortmate Retractable
