FAQs

Can I use these pens for left-handed writing?

Yes, but be aware that gel ink takes slightly longer to dry than ballpoint ink, so use caution to avoid smudging.

Are the refills replaceable?

The Gel X1 PRO is designed as a disposable gel pen and does not support refill cartridges.

Do these pens bleed through standard notebook paper?

Typically, no. The 0.5mm point provides a precise line that works well with most standard notebook paper without significant bleeding.

Is the ink archival quality?

These pens use standard gel ink designed for everyday general office and school use.

How many pens of each color are in the 24-pack?

The pack includes 12 black pens, 8 blue pens, and 4 red pens.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing despite having ink

Scribble in a circular motion on a scrap piece of paper to jumpstart the roller ball mechanism.

Ink skipping during writing

The tip may have collected lint or debris; wipe the ball point gently with a soft cloth.

Ink looks faint

The pen may have been stored upright for too long; leave it stored horizontally for several hours to redistribute the ink.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ergonomic grip for all-day use
  • Precise 0.5mm tip for clean, sharp lines
  • Convenient ink monitoring window
  • Balanced color variety for professional and academic needs
  • Reliable ink flow for consistent performance

Cons

  • Fine point may feel scratchy on rough paper surfaces
  • Ink can smudge if not allowed to dry fully on non-porous paper
  • Assortment ratio (mostly black) may not suit everyone's artistic needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pens are ready to use out of the box; simply remove the protective wax tip coating if present. To ensure longevity, always cap the pens tightly after use to prevent the gel ink from drying out. Store pens in a horizontal or tip-down position to maintain optimal ink flow. Avoid leaving the pens in extreme heat or direct sunlight, as this can affect the viscosity of the gel ink and potentially cause leaking or skipping.
