Office Depot, Inc. announced availability of the Paper Mate(R) InkJoy(TM) pen line at nationwide Office Depot retail locations and online at www.officedepot.com. The new InkJoy line features a revolutionary ink system that delivers an effortless writing experience. The current landscape of writing instruments includes a variety of options from rollerball to porous point pens. However, a recent Paper Mate study found a gap in overall performance between ballpoint pens and gel pens, leaving an opportunity for InkJoy to fill the void. The ink system behind the new InkJoy pens meets consumers' needs by combining the smooth, vivid writing experience of a gel pen with the quick-dry and durability of a ballpoint, creating a new pen category altogether -- the Advanced Ink System. Fusing the best qualities of the gel and ballpoint pen, the benefits of the Advanced Ink System are crystal clear -- the pen starts quickly without dragging, requires minimal hand pressure, and delivers crisp, clean lines. The InkJoy line features a series of pens that offer a variety of designs for every budget, including the: InkJoy100 Stick and 100 Retractable - Features a triangular shape, providing comfort and control while writing. Both retractable and stick options include a smooth-slide clip and a clear barrel that allows for monitoring of the ink supply. The performance pens at an economy price are available in black, blue, red, and an assorted color package; InkJoy 300 Stick and 300 Retractable -- Has an extended, rubberized, tri-contour grip for added comfort as well as a sleek, refreshing design with a tinted barrel.
