Gel Pens

Gel pens lay down a darker, crisper line than a ballpoint and dry faster, which is why they dominate note-taking, journalling and revision work. The trade-off is that gel ink can show through thin paper and rewards a lighter hand.Point sizes here run 0.5 mm (fine, for tight ruled pages) and 0.7 mm (medium, more forgiving on textured or recycled paper). Black, blue and assorted-colour packs are listed separately, and each listing says which.
