Pens don't write well. The ink skips as I write.

Disappointing
Well, I got these pens for free as a Circle Deal. Some write smoothly and other are jerky and sporatic. Very disappointing. Thankfully they were free

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Paper Mate Profile 8pk Ballpoint Pens. We’re sorry to hear that some of the pens wrote smoothly while others felt jerky and inconsistent. For the best writing performance, try gently scribbling on scrap paper for a few seconds before use to get the ink flowing. Avoiding very smooth or glossy paper may also help maintain consistent ink flow. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope these tips help improve your writing experience. If you have anymore feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! PaperMate® Consumer Care

Best pens for me
I write with nothing other than the Paper Mate Profile Bold pens. Any color. Whenever someone borrows one of my pens I watch to make sure they give it back. Especially when they say "Oh this is a NICE pen."

great for teachers
These pens always work when I grab one to grade papers, and the vivid contrasting colors help students differentiate between their original grade and their improved grade after corrections.
