Mr. Pen- Retractable Gel Pens, 11 Pack, Unique Dark Vintage Ink

These pens are AMAZING! I send a lot of greeting cards, and I've always liked using somewhat matching colored inks to write a short, personal message in each card. Recently I started making my own cards, and sometimes I use dark or black colored cardstock, so the metallic foiling I do will show up nicely. But finding good pens to write on dark paper has not been easy! I bought Cricut's opaque pens, which are just awful -- the white doesn't work AT ALL, and the other colors are practically neon. I bought Gelly Roll pens in white, silver, and gold, and they're pretty good, but I really wanted something more colorful. Oddly enough, I wasn't even shopping for pens to write on dark paper when I stumbled across this pack from Mr. Pen, but I'm absolutely thrilled with these pens! The ink colors in this "vintage" set are so different fromthe other gel pens out there. The colors are rich and bold, not overly bright but strikingly unique. The gel ink flows so smoothly -- no skipping or streaking at all! And of the 11 pens in this set, 9 of them write beautifully on dark paper. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered two more packs -- one in "vivid" and the other in "pastel" colors.

These colors are stunning. Smooth writing. Comfortable grip.

4 pens work. The majority of the items do not have a constant flow of ink. I purchased another set earlier with other colors and the pens were fantastic. They wrote with constant ink flow. The colors were nice. I did not return these because I thought they just needed to be used to get the ink flowing. That didn't happen and only led to frustration.

These have been very temperamental for me, sometimes don't want to work and they seem to die really quick compared to others. I don't plan on buying again

Colors are muted, but the ink is smooth and writes as smooth as it comes out. I got these because they are just different colors than what is out there. I've had them for a few weeks and have used them for my college notes. They are so smooth to write with. They don't dry quite as quickly as I would like, but I'm also going fast at taking notes, so it could be an operator problem.

I love these pens! They write smooth, no smudge marks. The color of the pen is the color of the ink and what it writes. The colors are pretty and veratile. I have used these so much I am going to have to purchase more.

Often times they don’t write smoothly. Ink will randomly not work.

These pens come in such fun colors. I got these and a new notebook for book club and its hard to choose which color to write with! The feel of the pen is light and comfortable and smooth in my hand. They write moothly and don't bleed through the page. They do smear a bit of you move too quickly if they haven't dried but are pretty quick drying overall. Not sure how long the ink will last in each pen, but they write well, colors are bold and saturated and they are a great price for 12 pens!

I’m very picky with my pens, and these exceeded my expectations. They glide smoothly with each stroke. My one and only complaint is the ink does smudge once in a while, so if you’re a lefty I wouldn’t recommend these pens for that reason.
