Sakura - Gelly Basic White - 05 - 08 - 10 – Set of 3 In the 1980s, Sakura surprised the pen industry with its invention of the first gel-based ink. Since then the creamy, colourful Gelly Roll has remained a favourite of people of all ages, occupations, and interests for its bright colour selection and the unique properties of the gel ink. The ink in Gelly Roll Classic pens is archival, waterproof, fade-resistant, and chemical proof, making it ideal for legal documents, scrapbooks, and any written document where permanence is important. Black, blue, royal blue, purple, and burgundy Gelly Roll colours are particularly excellent for writing checks because the pigmented gel ink is resistant to fraudulent washings. Archival quality ink – chemically stable, waterproof, and fade-resistant. No smears, feathers, or bleed-through on most papers.

Review:

I've found that these pens go onto the paper semi-transparent and then dry into a pure white. I'm unsure if that is supposed to happen as I've never ordered this brand before but I assume it's helpful with seeing where you're placing the marks. However, it may come as a surprise to first-time users who start to panic thinking they've ordered bad-quality pens. They come in three different sizes which is useful for smaller details and so far they've lasted me quite a while for the time I've had them (5 months).
