BIC Cristal Xtra Bold Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm), NEW ASSORTED COLORS, 48 Pack

These are my new favorite teacher pens! The colors are vibrant. The pens write smoothly without skipping and I haven't had any smears to worry about. These are a better and more affordable choice than many other teacher favorites.

I’m a teacher, this is my favorite pen. It glides over papers so I can write it fast. The colors are vibrant and fun.

Love these- repeat customer. Ink is smooth with just the right thickness. Wonderful colors. Fun to use with my daily planner. Don’t forget to pull the tiny plastic cover off the tip before trying to write like I did with my very first set!!

Very bright and smooth writing pens! I love BIC and these pens are great! Love the bold colors. I could write with these all day. I am a teacher and write ALOT! Ink dries quickly and does not smear.

Buyer Beware: If you want those BiC Cristal ballpoint pens that feature the extremely smooth-flowing liquid ink, you must make sure they are the Cristal Xtra Bold 1.6mm pens. And you will find them in this 48-pack.Why BiC sells "different versions" of the Cristal, I do not know. For instance, the Cristal Xtra Smooth & Reliable is what we all remember to be the "classic, typical, standard-issue, clear-barreled BiC Medium Point ballpoint" for the last umpteen years. Don't be duped, like I was initially. Make sure your pens are marked with "BiC Cristal 1.6 mm" on each and every barrel. Because ...The BiC Cristal Xtra Bold 1.6mm is an entirely different animal. It has a "smoky" tinted barrel [versus clear], and the ballpoint tips are factory-sealed with a tiny drop of clear plastic to insure ink moisture & flow. It is a fine writing instrument, regardless of its reasonable price.What makes this 48-pen assortment extra-special is due to the fact that you'll be getting 8 [eight] ink colors to enjoy ... 4 "traditional" colors [Black, Blue, Red, Green] -- and 4 "fashion" colors [Hot Pink, Sea Green, Purple, Aqua]. And they all write smoothly & beautifully.BiC, if you're reading this, you need to come out with "Cristal Xtra Bold Refills" for pens like Cross, Garland, etc.

Love these pens. Wanted them to come in one big box like the picture for easier storage, but came in 5 plastic packages of 48 count each. But still great product and better price than buying individual. They write really well and the colors are bright and perfect.

I know it is weird to be so picky about my pens but I am. I cant help it. I have always been weird about finding a pen that is comfortable in my hand, that has long lasting ink and that feels good when writing on paper. You know that feeling, and if you don't there is no way to describe it to you. I love all the fun colors, as they help with my note taking and keeping things color coordinated. This whole package has lasted me years and they look lovely in the container on my desk. I have always been a fan of the BIC pens. The only thing I wish I could have is this pen in a click pen instead of the cap and pen, without changing anything else about it.

My friend turned me onto these. First, when you get them every single one has a little plastic attached to the ink part of the pen and you need to remove that before they will write, I am having to adjust my normal writing to accommodate the thick line. It is different than a normal medium ink pen. They are amazing to write with and just flow across the page unlike any other pens I have used. I have also notice they do not smear at all. Looks like the ink is wet and going to smear but so far I have not had one of the pens ink smear. If your on the fence and you like an easy flowing pen that is bold in color, give them a try. For the price it is an amazing pen. I have paid more for way less. I would buy again.
