What are gel pens?

Gel pens are specialized writing tools preferred by many graphic artists and teachers for their bold colors and full lines. They use the same basic mechanism as cylindrical ball pens, but the ink inside is noticeably stronger than the standard ball ink. Clear inks used in these pens are often increased by aluminum sparks for added visual punch. The pens soon became popular among graphic artists and architects who could use control of a ball pen while getting brilliant colors of the brand. Crayon companies like Crayola began marketing pens with fluorescent colors and metal sparks. Art teachers encourage them to use them to create posters on building paper. Added sparks and fluorescent chemicals allowed the student to experiment with dark/light effects and a black background.

, however, these pens may have severaljokes. Unlike the ballpoint pen, it can leave the gel pen protective caps to cause the ink to dry rapidly inside. The small silicone ball inside the cap must be in place to create airtight seals. The mechanism that attracts the ink of the pen and to the tip is susceptible to damage if it is not processed carefully. Users can try to reconstruct a dry pen by clicking the top or below- that is never a good idea. The line -up of the cylindrical balls could be hastily stuck from the impact. Some paper surfaces are better than others in terms of using gel pens. It is best to experiment with different types of paper to see how the pen and ink react.

If the gel pens should dry, experts suggest rolling the tip in small circles until the ink flows again. Some find that rolling the pen on the thumb or the opposite palm will be tongue, but the results may vary and the ink should be immediately mistaken to avoid coloredand. Gel pens do not work well on oily surfaces, so users should wash and dry their hands thoroughly before use.
