Papermate Inkjoy Gel Pens - Best Pens Ever


Blue_Moon

Recommended Posts

In the UK, still no sign of these Inkjoy GELS, I check a couple of times a week in several very popular shops, who do stock the other Papermate pens and pencils, but none seen yet.

The nearest I have seen is the Papermate 300 'Silkwriter', which is a very smooth gel pen, available in black, blue, red, and green.

Silkwriters were indeed bad, at least according to my experience.

Amazon UK stocks Inkjoy Gels, starting from £3,49/single pen

I bought a blister pack of three black 0.5mm inkjoy gels just before Christmas via Amazon for about £6.55 including p&p. They were sent from BIC Warehouse in the US and took about 3 weeks to arrive.

All 3 perform identically, are very smooth writers, don't skip, write well on polythene bags if necessary and are quite a dark black (well, you know what I mean !) and are indeed a "joy" to use. Unfortunately I've just looked at my Amazon order history and they are now unavailable (from Amazon at least) as a 3 black ink pack. Looks like I bought mine in the nick of time. When/If they become generally available in the UK I'd have no hesitation replacing them or trying other colours.

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
