Comments / Recommendations
A good pack of gel pens with a great color and ink range
While not the cheapest set of gel inks these are good value for money and are an excellent set of starter gel pens. I love my set, in fact I bought two sets of these pens and I use them often.
These pens do not require any pressure to get the best out of them so if you have any fine motor, hand or arm problems these may be a suitable option
