I also experienced the same disappointment. I always bought the white Papermate pen with a med. point and it has the blue cap and wrote with blue ink.
I could not find them so I bought a Papermate that said only, Medium Point Stick Pen and it has a black cap and black ink.
These either write a bit or not at all and if they do, it is so light, I can’t read half of it.
I know they say Bic is bad but I am going to try to switch back to them. What I bought in a package of ten or more in Papermate is hardly worth having. I just found the black-capped one is not writing and I just took it out of the package about two days ago. So I tried another and it wrote for a few seconds and deserted me.

I also used to be a fan of Papermate pens. But the quality has dropped considerably. About a year ago I bought a box of the “grip” style Write Bros. model. It was bad enough that, when you tried to take the top off, the body came off instead, leaving the tip and the grip part in the cap. But this also led to a depressing discovery: The pens now come from the factory only about half full of ink. Sad.

The papermate pen itself ,for as long as I can remember ,has been a questionable quality pen at best. I suppose to make BIC look good. But to keep on with the same poor quality is obsurd. I was using the papermate EAGLE pen and the thing leaked and then dried up. The entire box performed just about the same way. Please if you have any pull in the pen industry– Get Papermate to up the quality and make a respectable back up pen we can be proud of. Enough is enough in making BIC look good and besides they already have billions of dollars in sales. Thank YOU

Well I don’t know if your going to like this comment or not, but I recently purchased a 12 bag of what I thought was a dependable pen. Something I could count on when one was needed. Out of the 12 I bought half of them have gone in the garbage and I just checked the other half to see how many would write and out of 6 3 are not writing. What happened to the quality of your product, I’m 59 years old and I have been using your products for most of my life and I have never come across anything like this. I was searching for an apartment when I bought these pens, I needed something I KNEW would write, well this time I was very wrong.I know they’re not expensive and thats not the point. The point is where is the quality gone. These pens are white with a blue cap and an M written on them. I also have the blue pens with the blue caps and an I on them they are the best. I paid $2.99 at a corner store and all I get is 3 that work.Looking forward to hearing back from you
Thankyou
