Paper MateFlair Felt Tip Pens | Medium Point (0.7mm) | Assorted Fun Colours | Wallet Of 4

I've always loved these pens for all sorts of uses - trouble is, so does my daughter, and the pens tend to go missing. So I've bought a set of 4 for me to keep safe and use only for me. These have the usual look and feel, and I'm very happy.

First, allow me to make it clear which product I am reviewing as the customer reviews below apply to five distinct sets of pens, while similar, they are different.This review relates to the ‘Assorted fun colours’ Paper Mate Flair Felt-Tip Pens | Medium Point (0.7mm) . On selection of the product, it is the first one from the left.One last tip, if you liked this review, please press the helpful button. Now to the review!I use these pens to write, as opposed to colouring. I like felt-tip pens for this purpose; they make writing fun. Yet, I deducted one star because of the disadvantage based on my intention for use.ADVANTAGES+ A medium, 0.7mm, tip is good for everyday writing.+ The quality of the pens are fantastic.+ They look and feel good in the hand; the lid is firm and has a secure snap lock.+ The magenta colour is vibrant and also my favourite writing pen.+ The magenta colour is clear and easy to read.DISADVANTAGES- The other colours, Orange, Lime and Sky Blue are too light. As a result, I found it difficult to read what I wrote. They would be good for colouring, but they lack a certain punch for writing.

If you're a pen connoisseur like I am, having the right weight, feel, power of a writing tool is important. This is where the Paper Mate Flair comes in. Grab some, you'll thank me later.

I have one of these which must be over 20 years old. It still works instantly for the occasional 'marking' task.All four of these colours strike me as a bit pale. In fairness, the ink on paper is much the same colour as the pen barrels. i.e. 'Red' is dark pink, 'Blue' is a mid-blue, 'Black' is charcoal. The green pen is the only one with darker results than the barrel colour.Although they work instantly and are great for 'marking' they are not ideal for 'writing'. They do not slide over the paper very well so you are constantly aware of the friction. There is also a slight 'italic' effect with the line being a slightly different thickness depending upon the direction of movement. Draw circle and you will see what I mean.They work on some plastics but not others - not on plastic bags for example.They work particularly well for colouring. With a little care you can colour-in a section without the individual pen-strokes showing afterwards. That can be very useful for neat colour-coding.

I remember buying loads of these, over the years, - at, probably, three times, what I paid for them, here. Excellent value, for money, - but, the range of colours, available, is very limited

I like these. They are like the old Tempo pens.I received 3 not 4.

I've always loved stationery and used to really enjoy writing with these pens when I was a kid, probably partly because they were so much easier than using a fountain pen which we had to use at school for our best work.I bought these really expecting to enjoy wiriting with them but they don't seem quite the pen I remembered so fondly.They defintely don't write as easily, I'm not sure if the nibs are constructed of something different because there is a definite 'drag' on the paper when writing which defintely slows the speed it which you can write.It's quite subtle, I don't want to overstate the difficulty of use but it defintely is not such a smooth easy pen to write with as I used to enjoy.

My daughter recommended these to me but some I found were a bit scratchy. They are best stored upside down to promote the ink to flow to the nibs. Lovely colours
