Paper MateInkJoy Bright Pens, Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm), Retractable, Assorted Brighter Colors, 10 Count

These pens write on black! They’re InkJoy, so of course, they’re amazing. The colors are fantastic, they write really well, and are long-lasting.But most importantly? They *write on black*!

My coworker and I love these pens because the colors are bright and can be used on dark papers. We have each had a little trouble with one or the other of the pens not writing good.

I got these Inkjoy Bright Gel pens from Paper Mate for drawing on black paper so this is my test I am posting. The paper I am using is 90 pound hot press no coating (it is matte, not glossy).Each pen has a tiny ball of plastic(?) on the tip to keep the ink from drying out. I learned it does not come off with just one flick. Make sure you get all of that tiny cap off before using the pen else the pen will not work well. I think mine might have melted on because these pens arrived on a very hot day. Anyway, after removing that tip, scribble a little bit to get the ink flowing. After that, the pens work great. They are super smooth to write with and they put out a LOT of ink for a little pen tip. The ink actually looks a lot like very vibrant paint. Like paint, this ink also needs time to dry. It will smear if you touch it immediately.I love these pens and they will certainly brighten up some of the dark drawings I have been making!

If you’ve ever wished for a gel pen with Posca-level precision but without the smell or the mess, congratulations—your dreams have been answered. These things glide. Smooth, sharp, zero skipping. The kind of effortless ink flow that makes writing feel almost too good.And the colors? Bold. Saturated. They don’t just sit on the page; they pop, even on dark paper, like they have something to prove. Every shade feels intentional—no filler colors you’ll ignore, just pure, unapologetic vibrance.At a couple bucks per pen, it's actually worth it if you're going to use most of the pack. No wasted shades, no weak pigment, just bright, buttery ink that makes every note, doodle, or random margin scribble a whole vibe.So yeah, safe to say these are officially my personality now.

I love these pens like crazy. The opacity is great and they start writing almost as soon as I put them to paper. Sometimes they're a little scratchy, but not badly so. I love the colors, but the orange feels a little dull. More of a burnt orange than a bright orange. It looks better on black.

I love these pens! They have a nice grip and very pretty colors. I use pens a lot in my crafting and these are going to be perfect for dark paper cards. A lot of pens boast of writing on black paper and don’t do a great job. These are bright and there is no skipping. Where they are beautiful on dark paper, they are (except white) just as beautiful on white paper.I really don’t think anyone would be disappointed with these at all.

Tried these PaperMate InkJoy Bright Gel Pens in a 20 count and I really like them. They write smooth, medium lines with little to no smearing. Vibrantly colored, great writing, drawing, coloring pens. Would recommend.

I love InkJoy pens, so I was excited to try the gel pens. The white is a bit streaky, but that seems to be the case with most white gel pens. The other colors work really well on white, colored, and dark paper. I wouldn't get this just for the white, but I would get these again. This pack has some pretty Caribbean-style colors. Great pens!
