I received some Paper Mate Inkjoy pens, but instead of a formal review, I discuss why most artists don't take ball point pens seriously. The pens can be cheap, inconsistent, and messy, while inks vary in quality, lightfastness, and reproduction. Were these Inkjoy pens like what I loved back in high school? I put them to an Inktober test to find out!

• Paper Mate Inkjoy black ballpoint clickpen with comfort grip
