ParKoo Gel Pens Bulk, 100 Pcs Retractable Black Ink Pens, Quick Dry, 0.7mm

These pens are my FAVORITE gel pens! They write so smoothly and the colors are vibrant. There are lots of color options. The barrel of the pens is a fatter size than your typical pen which I like. The tip size is .7mm. The listing says that they are quick drying which they are but still not instant. It doesn't bother me but if that's what you're looking for, then these are not it. Overall, you can't beat the price ($9.99 at the time of this review with a 5% coupon) for the quality of the pens that you are getting.

These pens are great! I'm a pastor and had to have a bunch of pens for a class I was teaching and needed them quick. These are a great value. They arrived the next day and are great to write with and comfortable in your hand.

The ParKoo Retractable Gel Pens are my new best friends, and I might be a little obsessed. These pens are like a candy store for your writing desk – 20 assorted colors that are so vibrant, they make a rainbow look drab. Seriously, these colors are so fun, I half-expect them to start throwing confetti every time I write. Let’s talk about the smooth writing experience. It's like the ink is a tiny figure skater gliding across the paper. No skips, no smudges – just pure, uninterrupted inky goodness. And the quick-dry ink? It’s like magic. I can actually high-five myself for a job well done without leaving a smudgy mess. Using these pens is like attending a party every time I take notes. They’re comfortable to hold, and the retractable feature is perfect for someone like me who constantly loses pen caps. Each color has its own personality – the red one is fiery and bold, the blue one is cool and collected, and the green one is just here for a good time. In conclusion, these ParKoo pens are the life of the party in my stationery collection. I will definitely be buying them again, and maybe even throw a welcome-back party when they arrive. If you want to make your writing experience as fun as a roller coaster ride, these are the pens for you!

It’s a “get what you pay for” deal. Most of the pens and colors are great. However, I’ve had them for about 2 weeks and the black ink is already skipping. It’s annoying to write notes when you have to go back over your words a million times, and then it just looks horrible and messy.

At first, I thought I didn’t like them because they skipped A LOT. Like half of the pens. However, after about a month of using them from time to time, most of them are working smoothly with limited skipping. As for the colors, they are really pretty!! I enjoy the pink, blue, teal shades. My favorite pens are the Zebra Sarasa Clips. These ParKoo pens are a nice cheap option for everyday writing when I don’t want to use my favorite pens. I often use these pens for journaling and in my planner. I’d rate it 4.5/5 just because the skipping of the ink in the beginning is really annoying. The issue seemed to decrease with increased use so maybe the pen just needed to get warmed up after you take the wax tip off.

These pens are very high quality and very smooth to write with. I love that it comes in so many different colors, it makes note taking so much fun! I haven’t seen many packs of pens that come with 2 different shades of pinks and so I enjoy that. I think it’s a great value for the price. They dry very quickly, I have not smeared the ink at all while working with these. Also, they are easy to hold and the plastic happens to be a great texture for easy gripping. They’re also very lightweight! I would highly recommend these pens to anyone and I will be buying them again in the future.

For the most part this is a fine set of gel pens with a nice array of hues. However a handful of them, once out of their package and in use, had a feeling of dryness when I began testing the pens on scrap (using both regular copy paper and also glossy brochure paper to see how these pens handled different surfaces). The ink was just not flowing properly; they had that feeling of when a pen is near its end of life-- weak and listless. The bulk of the pens were wet and ready to write (or doodle) smoothly. Each pen had its teeny wax "topper" that you need to remove from the tip before using ... I assume this is a safeguard to prevent leakage or drying out during shipping. So far, the pens have been fine even though I had to throw a few away because of the dryness issue. The rest work nicely and are similar in performance to the Papermate InkJoy gel pens. No skipping, which is nice. Bottom line = not bad.

I have had this set of pens for a little over a year now and still use them on the daily. I am a teacher so it is nice to have a variety of different colors. I really enjoy that they do nut smudge and are easy to write with.
