A gel pen is a true jack of all trades. Its smooth ink and availability of colors make it an excellent match for all kinds of writing including daily use, journaling, planning, study notes, and much more. Zebra Pen offers a wide selection of gel ink pens with different features and properties, like smudge-free Rapid Dry Gel Ink Technology, archival “check-safe” ink, and refillable metal options.

What are the Advantages of Gel Ink?

Gel ink is water-based and uses pigments instead of regular dyes. As a result, gel pens are available in a variety of wide-ranging colors—including bolder, richer shades. Gel pens are also known for their clean, precise lines, smoother lay down, and easy writing experience. While gel pens have the potential to smear and smudge and offer a shorter write out (meaning the ink is used up more quickly), the bold colors and clean lines have made gel pens surge in popularity.
