[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paper mate makes some of the best pens available and this pen will not let you down. It is made of very good quality and writes well on all paper types I highly recommend these pens to anyone either just at home or for professional use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve loved profile pens for years now. They’re one of my favorite pens to use. As a lawyer, I’m constantly writing and the ink is smooth and doesn’t smear. All while having a really good feel in your hand, the padded section makes it comfortable to write all day if you need too. I prefer the black and blue.

I found this pen nice to sketch with, it was both smooth and fast. It can feel a little slippery to someone who is very detailed oriented and wants polished lines and letters. But if your just looking to do quick signature and fast sketch its great. Because of this I think it may be likely that ink may bleed out or saturate your paper if the temp is warm enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the Paper mate Ballpoint Pen, Profile Retractable Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm). The pen is retractable so I don't have to worry about marking up the inside of my purse. I love that is has a grip on it. I sometime I have finger cramps when writing with pens. The pen also write very smooth on paper. I recommend to anyone that is looking for a great pen to use on a daily basis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very nice pen's I received these ball point pen's in the mail about a week ago. My granddaughter needed them for school and she really liked them. They write smooth and do not blot on the paper. They are very nice colors and write well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always been big fans of Paper Mate products and these Profile Ballpoint pens are another great addition. This four pack has two black, one blue and one red. They write so smooth and have a very comfortable grip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a waitress I use a lot of pens and these are amazing! I was able to write quickly while not having any cramping in my hand! Than with me constantly putting the pens in and out of my apron my hands stayed ink free. By the end of my 10 hour shift my hands stayed ink free.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is comfortable to write with and holding but doesn't glide as effortlessly as I would like it to. Ink is a bit too thick or something, makes it hard to write with for longer periods of time. Otherwise its a nice pen to have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would recommend the paper mate ballpoint pen profile retractable pen medium point to anyone looking for a simple good writing pen. It wrote smooth and the mechanics worked great. I'm a pen clicker and end up breaking a lot of pens. These pens have stood the test of time with my continual clicking.

Overall I like this pen. The red wax tip is a nice plus to keep the pen from leaking out before purchase. It took me a minute to find it as the reason the pen was not working. After I removed the tiny red tip, the pen worked great. However, it did have a tendency to smear and smudge. It was easy to glide across the paper and was fairly dark enough to read. I would like to see the ink a bit darker and perhaps a bit thicker so as not to smear or smudge. I like the metal clip most of all because most pens these days are going to plastic. I'm always clipping my pens to my paper so that I don't lose them and the plastic clips always break and I end up throwing the pen away before the ink is used. Needless to say I don't buy the plastic clips anymore. I love the metal clips. I would recommend this pen to everyone.
