- Are these pens good for adult coloring books?
- Yes. The 0.6mm gel tip is fine enough for small areas and the 72 colors cover most coloring needs. Gel ink can show through thin paper, so place a sheet behind the page.
- Do the pens smudge?
- Gel ink stays wet briefly, so it can smudge if you run your hand over fresh writing. Let lines dry a few seconds, especially on coated or glossy paper.
- Are they refillable?
- No. These are disposable gel pens with no refills offered. Once a pen runs dry, it is replaced rather than refilled.
- Is the ink safe for kids?
- Shuttle Art labels the ink non-toxic, and the set is listed for all ages. As with any pen, keep small parts away from very young children.
- What tip size are they?
- Every pen has a 0.6mm fine tip. That is finer than a standard 0.7mm gel pen, so it suits small lettering and detail work.
- How do they compare with fineliners?
- Gel pens lay down wetter, more opaque ink than fineliners and are not archival or lightfast. For permanent artwork, artist fineliners are the better choice.
