Gel Stick Pens ~ Lot of 12 ~ Purple Barrel, Comfort Grip, Black Ink #1170P
A
gel pen uses ink in which pigment is suspended in a water-based gel.
Because the ink is thick and opaque, it shows up more clearly on dark
or slick surfaces than the typical inks used in ballpoint and
felt-tip pens. Gel pens can be used for many types of writing and
illustration. The general design of a gel pen is similar to that of a
regular rollerball pen, with a barrel containing the writing
mechanism and a cap, and a reservoir filled with ink.
The
main advantage of gel ink is its high viscosity which supports a
higher proportion of pigments in the medium. Fountain pens and
liquid-ink rollerball pens use a dye solute in a water-based solvent.
Compared to these pens, gel pens are less prone to bleed through to
the other side of a sheet of paper, create finer and more controlled
lines, can create white or brightly colored opaque lines on dark
surfaces, and are more likely to be able to write on smooth
materials.
This listing is for a lot of 12 fine quality gel pens. They have a slender 1/4" purple barrel with a black pull-off cap and soft rubber finger grips. They write with black ink. Overall length of the pen is 5 3/4" with the cap on the pen tip, and 6 1/2" with the cap stored on the top end while writing. These pens ship FREE to any USA destination!
