About Sharpie S-Gel, Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm), Assorted Colors, 8 Count
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
78% liked the waterproof ink, whereas 22% found it less effective
I have noticed that the pen is water-resistant when wet, but not waterproof.
80% praised the smudge-resistant ink, yet 20% didn't
I tested the pen on a shiny surface and found that it did not smudge after a few seconds.
The lines are sharp and the ink is vivid with no issues of bleeding or smudging.
I have found that Sharpie S-Gel pens do not smudge or smear, unlike many other gel pens.
On glossy paper, gel-based pens tend to smudge.
80% praised the ink quality
The lines are sharp and the ink is vivid. There were no issues with bleeding or smudging.
85% praised the comfortable grip, but 15% found it slippery
The contoured rubber grip on the pen fits me well and has a nice texture for gripping.
The pens have integrated grips that make it comfortable to write for longer periods of time.
I find the rubberized grip uncomfortable and am unsure about Sharpies choice of grooving as it is not very soft.
76% appreciated the quick drying time, but 24% found it dried slowly
The drying time of the gel ink pen is near-instant. I tested it by drawing a line and running a finger behind it as soon as the ink hits the paper. For thicker lines, it can take around 1.5 seconds, but for all practical intents and purposes, it is near-instant.
I have noticed that most of the pens I ordered have dried out ink and become scratchy after a short period of time, which is the case with about 75% of them.
