I use strictly gel pens with my adult coloring books and I knew from the moment I first used one of these pens they would become my favorite pens. I have a large inventory of gel pens from over 11 different brands and I can say "hands down" these are the best pens I've used to date. The second the pen touched the paper the ink is flowing smoothly and evenly, no skipping. There is no "coaxing" to get the ink flowing. They do not smear nor do they bleed through the paper. There…

These were a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting much, honestly, but these really are pretty darn good. Great selection of colors and finishes - some shimmer, some glitter, some fluorescent, some normal - just a great basic set. Excellent for adult coloring books. Only complaint is that I have at least 4 pens where the cap absolutely will not come off no matter what I try. Husband managed to get one of them open and it shattered. Still, the other 96 pens are great!
