Product Information

Waterproof ink and quick-drying ink are also popular options for those looking for convenience and durability. Because of this formula, you’ll find that gel ink often appears more vivid, and there are more color options available. As we’ve mentioned, gel pens are quite tricky for lefties because the ink takes a while to dry, and your writing can smudge as your hand moves from left to right.

However, unlike regular pens, gel pens have a pigment suspended in a water-based gel, allowing the ink to flow smoothly onto the page and create wider lines than those found in a standard ballpoint. Often used as a thickening agent in foods (salad dressings and jams for example), xanthan gum provided the ideal ratio of viscosity to thixotropic action in the new ink formula. This phenomenon, known as thixotropic action, required a balanced viscosity and gel to be very smooth.Like the twinkling stars of the Milky Way, the Stardust ink is speckled with glitter particles that give off a beautiful sparkle when it catches the light. This gel ink is archival, waterproof, fade resistant, and chemical proof, so it is ideal for checks, legal documents, scrapbooks – wherever permanence is important. We're just as obsessed with Gelly Rolls now as we were in our middle school days, and we can't wait to see what Sakura will come up with next! Find every colour you can imagine, including neon and metallic shades, and top brands like Uni-ball and Crayola.

As the first pen to use gel in its ink formula, the Gelly Roll paved the way for other well-known gel pens such as the Hi-Tec-C and Signo.

Pentel Arts’ Milky Pop Pastel Gel Pen is a smooth writing instrument with a rich color that you can’t find in traditional ballpoint pens. To ensure the smoothest writing experience, Sakura re-engineered the ball at the tip of the pen to have a smoother surface that could accommodate the new ink.

Crafters and DIY-ers in particular love this line of pens as it offers everything from glitter to metallic to raised ink.
