About Sharpie S-Gel, Gel Pens
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
72% liked the waterproof ink
The pen works well in all weather conditions and stands up to the test of time.
72% liked the durable tip, while 28% found it wore down
The tip of my pen is durable with a svelte taper, showcasing its precision.
If I drop the pen even once, the tip bends and it becomes unusable.
I am disappointed with the durability of the pens. The tip becomes unusable before the ink runs out and they are not very durable.
73% praised the smudge-resistant ink, yet 27% didn't
The ink doesn't smudge even seconds after writing.
As a left-handed person, I am used to ink and pencil being smudged as my hand slides across it, but I have not faced any smudge problem with this pen.
I have found that the fine point is more smudge-resistant than the 0.7s I was using before.
I tried this pen because it doesn't smudge like gel pens do. However, I faced issues with the pen. Out of 12 pens, 3 didn't write at all, 3 ran out within a week and the rest leaked. This review expresses my negative feedback with respect to the feature of smudge resistance of gel-ink-pens.
70% appreciated the easy refilling process, but 30% found it messy
The pen is refillable and the ink refill fits other pen bodies.
I have not found refills for this pen, which is not good from an economic and environmental point of view.
76% praised the ink quality, but 24% found it prone to smudging
The ink is smooth, jet black and lasts a long time.
I can keep writing until the ink runs dry because the ink quality is good enough.
I have had no smearing issues with these ink gel pens and they are the best I have used.
The ink quality is poor, it is scratchy and does not flow well. The writing is barely distinguishable when finished.
77% praised the comfortable grip
I find the grip of the pen really great and it's difficult to get a .38 point.
I find the pen comfortable to hold with a good grip and weight.
75% appreciated the quick drying time, but 25% found it dried slowly
None of our ink has dried out even after being stuck open for months.
Four pens dried out just days after I used them.
64% liked the wide range of colors
The pen color is a very dark black without any hint of gray.
