At first, the brand was experimenting with different types of gel that were solid at rest but could become free-flowing once disturbed.

Inks with special effects tend to dry even slower and may even need to sit for a few hours before they can be touched.

They believed that the answer lay in a gel’s unique ability to be solid at rest and more liquid and free-flowing when in motion. This property is called thixotropic action. The common tip sizes are 0.3 mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8mm, and 1.0 mm. All of these sizes are great for writing and drawing. Left or Right-Handed
