ParKooRetractable Gel Pens: 12ct Black Ink 0.7mm Fine Point Tip White Pen, Quick Dry Smooth Writing Pens for Journaling Note Taking Sketching No Bleed & Smear

These are great pens!! Black! Smooth! Easy to write with. My favorite pen.

I enjoy journaling, doodling, hand lettering and just writing overall. I have a handful of pens that are considered go-to and this Parkoo gel pen has been added to the shortlist. These are amazing quality for the price. I would liken them to papermate inkjoy gels but dare I say they're better! I purchased the black/blue/red package and the black pens are absolute perfection. The pen size is fine, but not scratchy. The ink is dark and it does not smudge. I can highlight over the writing immediately with no smearing. I've used about half of the pens in the pack and none of them have skipped while writing, not even once. I have added one to each of my journals, planners and notebooks to make sure I always have one handy.

Oh, these pens write beautifully! I mean seriously. You'd never know they were gel pens. Because when I think of gel pens I think of those crappy clear cased bright neon/glitter pens that skipped every other line that I used in middle school.These are sooo smooth, and opaque. Beautiful true color. They match their exterior casing color perfectly (I think) (also I have no stinking clue what the outside of the pen is actually called so casing is what I'm going with).Plus, they're just darn nice to look at!My photos don't show you anything that the others haven't already showed, but just to be thorough..The pens each came with the little plastic glob on the ends to keep them from leaking I assume.I did notice the Dark Green and Teal colors are extremely similar, which is probably my only complaint.The color does show on the other side of the page on regular journal paper. I'm sure this might vary depending on how heavy- or light-handed you are when you write.Would I buy these pens again? Absolutely! I'm already sad thinking about when they run out because I've really been enjoying using them, but hopefully that won't happen for a long time!

These are great, I prefer the thicker ink line. This are still a good set of pens.

I saw these on Tiktok, so yes this is a "what Tiktok made me buy" sort of review from last summer, and these pens are pretty nice! They do write smooth at first but over time in my case, with use the ink will clog and I have to write over some letters . When you write it does dry quite quickly which makes it nice for being left-handed. I also say from experience of carrying one around in my pocket at work the ink WILL bleed if it gets too warm. Probably just a case of having a pen in your back pocket I guess? It didn't explode by any means but you can tell when you go to write something down and you get a ink spot on the page at first press.All in all these are really nice but not perfect. I don't expect any pen to be "perfect"- but it's nice to have something that I can write with and not have the smear on my hand as I keep writing.

I LOVE these pens.This would be my second time ordering from them, they arrived quick and easy. they are pure white on the outside and black ball point pen. it writes nice like a gel pen. I ordered these for my sister bridal shower as guest pens and got so many compliments from them. I have now ordered more for my cousins baby shower since everyone loved them so much last time and more then half walked away lol. They are very pleasing to the eye if you are like me and go for aesthetic.10/10 recommend.

Really hoped these were great pens, I was very disappointed in writing with them for a few weeks the ink seems to come and go... sometimes they write really good and the color is vibrant other times they barely write at all and the color is very patchy. Will not purchase again!

I use these pens every day at work and they work exceptionally well. They write very smoothly in opaque black ink and they barely smudge. The ink only ever smudges if you run your hand over a second or two after writing, and nowhere near as bad as other pens that I’ve tried that were the same price or higher. I highly recommend them if you want good black pen.
