Question 1

What is a gel pen?

Accepted Answer

Gel pens share a lot of similarities with your standard ballpoint pens and rollerball pens. For much of the construction, they even work the same way. The fundamental difference, however, is in the ink formula, which you could consider a combination of ballpoint and rollerball.

Question 2

Are gel pens better than ballpoint?

Accepted Answer

Gel pens are neither better nor worse than a ballpoint pen, they are just different. If you want to make your writing stand out, then gel pens are arguably a better easy to do so. Similarly, they are an excellent choice for art and illustration, as there is a broader variety of ink colors, and as the colors are so attractive, your doodles and ink drawings will look better.

Question 3

Do gel pens dry out?

Accepted Answer

While gel pens for art and other endeavors are a great product to have, especially if you are a creative person, they are still like other pens in that the ink will dry out if you fail to replace the cap or retract the tip. If you don’t have a replacement cartridge, you may feel you have ruined your favorite pen for no reason.

Question 4

Do gel pens bleed?

Accepted Answer

Despite many gel pens claiming to be ‘quick-drying’, they will smear or bleed if smudged immediately after writing on a piece of paper. This could be an issue if you are left-handed, so make sure you are careful when working on something delicate.
