SAKURA Gelly Roll Gel Pens - Medium Point Ink Pen for Journaling, Art, or Drawing - Assorted Colored Ink - 10 Pack

Sakura's Gelly Roll gel pens are my favorite, hands down! (or thumbs up!) I bought my first two sets at a craft store when the black paper craze was still going strong. I had lots of paper, no pens! I shelled out a bit more than I really wanted to for two sets of 10 pens. Turns out they were 'repackaged' mix and match, though all of them worked. However, I fell in love! THIS set is perfect! This CLASSIC collection of 10 medium point pens, including basic colors and some fun extras, writes to perfection! I frequently use other Gelly Roll pens (such as Moonlight and Metallic), but I don't like to buy when they're much over $1 a pen (might have to raise that a little...) so when these went on sale from one of my favorite sellers, TCP Global corp, I jumped! This set isn't specialized like the metallic or glittery pens, or flourescent/glow in the dark like the Moonlight pens (I don't use them for that feature, they are simply great opaque gelly pens with good coverage and look like paint when you're done!). Classic is exactly what they are. They're not made to write on dark paper, they don't puff up or glaze or swirl, they're just great pens. I also use Sakura's Pigma Micron pens, though I haven't been working with them for long. I wanted some ink that came close to that standard without costing quite as much per pen. I'm coloring in tiny areas in patterns from a coloring book called "Zendoodles" (amazon purchase), and was upset when all the ink in my red #01 pigma micron ran out! So I decided that perhaps the gelly roll pens, except for tiniest places, would work just as well, or better, for filling in color. They do, and dry almost as quickly as the Pigma Micron pens, though they don't come in different widths of line or tip. (Classic gelly roll tip is 0.8mm, the line is 0.4mm, classified as 'medium' by Sakura). In any case, I can now save my extra special pens for lines and tiny areas, and use these for other filling-in needs. They also make great diary pens-they'll write on almost any type or quality of paper, and once dry, are colorfast, acid free, etc. Archival quality, in other words! So if you want some basic-but never plain-gel pens for multi-purpose use, these are the ones to get! No color repeats, and the black, blue and green pens are advertised as being good for writing checks (fraud prevention) though I've never used them for that purpose. Sakura's pens are made in Japan, though the company is called 'Sakura of America' here in the States. The Japanese and Germans have a tie on technically precise, quality pens, in my opinion. If I find true American made pens, I'll compare and see how they stand up, but right now they're all (as far as I've seen) "made in China" and that won't do for my art work! Five stars and lots of brilliant color!

I love these Gelly Roll pens! They are high quality pens that are long-lasting. These are perfect pens for Bible Journaling, since the ink doesn’t bleed-thru and it holds its color on the page over time. Highly Recommend!!

Wow! wow!! WOW!!! These pens are so smooth. The ink just flows from them like the gentle flow of a stream. I just can't describe how easy these are to write with. You just have to try it for yourself to experience the difference between these and any other "gel pen".This is my first purchase of Sakura Gelly Rolls pens, and I know it won't be my last! I also own the Pilot G-2 gel pens which are supposed to be the "#1 Selling Gel Pen", and these Sakura Gelly Roll pens are in a totally different league. They far surpass the other gel pens in smoothness in writing, flow of ink, and the variety of colors available.I paid $14.17 + tax for these, which is comparable to other multi color gel pens sets, and these are well worth every cent!! I would definitely purchase these again and will also be looking to expand my Gelly Roll color collection with more colors!! Yipee!!! :-D

I love these gel pens. smooth marking and nice color

I was looking for the 1.0 tip size for a wider line and ordered .03, for writing and .08 for drawing. The .08 is still too narrow, my fault itself, not the pen. But if you are looking for the thick line/wide drawing coverage order the 1.0 size. .08 is good for writing as well, .03 is actually to small for anything and does not leave the typical jelly pen ink we remember, leave thatto the 1.0.Pay attention to the sizing.

My childhood self is happy again!! I love writing and journaling with these gelly roll pens.

As someone who is very picky about their pens, I can tell you these are my favorite gel pens on the market. I am not looking for a pastel pen that writes on black paper well, or a pen that always looks wet, or a pen that makes my writing appear embossed.I just like very colorful, easy to handle for long periods, pens that write smoothly, never clog, never leak, and have easy to read final writing.These pens say "medium" on them, but I think they have a nice thin line that is just right. The Sakura Glaze and Moonlight pens make a thicker line that can make text hard to read if you write normal size, but these pens do not.I think these pens are equally suited for taking notes, artwork, and scrapbooking.. except that they don't show up very well on black paper.

I love any kind of smooth writing ink pen, whenever you have a good one they will just glide right across your paper with ease! I would recommend these to anyone!

I’m an artist – mainly pen & ink – and these are the best gel ink pens I have ever used. I purchased the 10-pack (medium line width) with a variety of colours. Pervious to the purchase, I was familiar with the brand, as the Sakura Pigma Micron is my go-to marker for pen and ink drawing.I tested every colour in the 10-pack set and every pen worked out-of-the package on the first line. The colours are very vibrant and bright. These pens are very smooth, but not to the point where they’re uncontrollable – on the contrary, these pens offer fantastic line control without skipping. I would recommend these gel pens to anyone who likes journaling, or creatives with a flair for sketching.Another added bonus is the fact that Sakura Gelly Roll Gel Pens are waterproof, making them great to use for line and wash watercolour sketching.I highly recommend Sakura Gelly Roll Gel Pens.

Regalo para una chica universitaria y le encantaron

These are great pens the first gel pens of the world still work great the pack was awesome all the colours worked properly but there was NO PINK...I hate it instead the gave me a white one so all is good but I wanted the pink you can surely use them in you school work if you want but let me tell you that these are not WATERPROOF THESE WILL SMUDGE if you are a lefty this might trouble you but the flow will be consistent and they do bleed a little bit through paper but they won't bleed through classmate notebooks..

Wonderful pens absolutely amazing for every small job, whether you are a crafter, bullet journaller, or just need them for notes you won't be disappointed in these pens, they run smoothly and go down beautifully pigmented. A really excellent choice for adult colouring too but just be warned they do take a little while to dry and you risk smudging the ink if you rush.They are also the genuine product unlike lots of others that are for sale on Ebay.

Great quality pens and writes smoothly!
