Questions & Answers

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE DARK OR LIGHT PURPLE?

Purple with a dark hue. They appeal to me greatly.

What color ink do you have? Isn't it enough to just say bold?

The ink is a vibrant purple that isn't quite magenta in color. It isn't a deep shade of purple. (I'm a senior) I prefer the brightness for doing crossword puzzles and other tasks.

What's the distinction between the 1. and the 2.? The 4B and the 1 4mm?

There is no distinction between the 1. and the 2. The 4B and the 1 4mm. They both have the same point size; the difference is that one specifies Bold as the point size.

Is there a purple pen for each of the 12 pens? Purple ink is the only thing I want. ?

They are, in fact. Purple ink was all I wanted, as well. These purple pens come in a set of 12 and are very nice. I purchased two boxes and am happy that I did!

Selected User Reviews For Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Bold (1.4mm), Purple, 12 Count

This is my favorite song of all time! Since high school, purple has been my go-to color
5/5

My obsession with purple began with the Bic Cristal and ended with the Papermate Profile, which I use for everyday writing as well as for years of college and countless nights serving tables in restaurants. The Profile isn't a pen for the weak; rather, it's a pen for the strong. Its bold stroke is for those who want their writing to stand out and say, "Look at me! I'm here!" Read me! " The pen's barrel is wider than a standard stick ballpoint pen, and it has a cushioned grip that allows for a lot of writing without getting tired. Advantages: br>br> br> Bold line stands out and glides across the page when writingbr> Retractablebr> It comes in a variety of fun colorsbr>br>Cons: br> The bolder line makes it extra smudgy for leftiesbr> Can leave little blobs on the side of the pen nib when ink builds upbr>br>Would I buy these again? Yes, I would and have done so many times before.

There's a Sticker on it that you can't get rid of! To begin with, it comes in a plain white box rather than the one shown
3/5

However, that is not the reason for the two stars; each pen includes a pocket tag that is attached to the clip. It wasn't supposed to be a bulk box, but rather an individual sale ink pen. The sticker has a UPC code on it and wraps completely around the pen. I was on the verge of breaking the pen when I took it off. It's now extremely sticky near the top of the pen, where the stickers used to be. When I write, it gets filthy and sticks to my hand!.

For a ballpoint pen, it's just right - Gel is what I prefer
3/5

I wish I had realized earlier and purchased gel instead. These, in my opinion, require too much sustained pressure and do not produce a thin, crisp line. The ink is a nice true mid-range color. purple range (e. g. , a nice red-blue balance, albeit a little transparent). Later, I purchased a set of purple gel pens that are more of a deep royal midnight purple and have a lighter grip (e. g. , e. g. , e. g. , e. g. , e. g. , e. , which is becoming more bluer) that is easier to read due to the darker color and higher line saturation. But now I'm stuck with a dozen of these in a box. It's all about living and learning.

Pens of excellent quality
4/5

For my work, I like to use purple ink. as a result, I decided to give this product a try; unfortunately, my first choice was not available; It was necessary for me to purchase it as part of a set that included other colors. That being said, I can't think of anything negative to say about Paper Mate. I wish the color was more vibrant, but I don't mind. When the time comes, I will repurchase it.

The color of the ink is not purple! I used to buy Papermate Purple Gel pens on a regular basis, but I stopped because the ink color had to have changed
3/5

It had been a long time since I'd thought about it, and I figured maybe now was the time. No, the purple doesn't appear to be purplish; instead, it appears to be a blue shade. The first Hello is written in blue ink, the second is the Papermate, and the third is a different pen that actually writes purple. The Papermate writes more smoothly than the Pilot, but the ink color isn't as appealing if you're a fan of purple ink like me. Returning to the Papermate and deciding to give up.

If you don't mind leaking pens, do not purchase
3/5

These were just delivered to me. I was hoping they'd be a good replacement for the other Papermate medium point ones that I adored, but they don't appear to be available any longer. (In writing, the one version was fluid and consistent. ) ) These? No way. It squirts out large blobs of ink, making writing appear sloppy. Very let down. I'm not aware of a viable alternative, and I miss the previous version.

a solid mid-range ballpoint pen with a good price Every year, I buy these purple pens to use at school to grade papers
4/5

First, when seen all over graded papers, red has a negative connotation, and second, purple is one of our school colors. They write well and the ink lasts a long time; however, local stores don't always have them in stock, so I'm grateful that I can get these boxes from Amazon all year.
