Ink

[Dan Williams]

Can anyone tell me is Gel ink better or easier to write with. I am thinking of ordering some but was wondering if they write better than the regular Parker refills

[Keith Burns]

Yes they do write better IMHO. However the ones I bought only lasted a week:eek: Needless to say I won't use them again.

[Dan Williams]

Kieth Were they defective or do they just go through ink that fast? They are a buck a piece.

Funny thing. When I was selling pens like hotcakes I let several customers try both gel and ink. I even told them that I had heard gel was considered a better medium. They all ended up choosing ink without exception.

Get a couple of refills of both and test them out. Maybe your experience would be different.

[Dario Octaviano]

I like the GEL ones much better.

I buy mine from CSUSA.

Remember
Gel is water base. the place where my wife works does NOT allow Gel refills
if water would happen to spill on the paper it runs

SORRY

I like the way gel writes, but like they said, they run out pretty quick. I used a gel writer for about a month and it ran out. I am now using a ball point and its been a couple months and still writing.

[Stephen Hibbs]

Gel is too smooth for me, and I find myself writing even more messily with it. Plus they run out fast, and the ink stays wet longer, so it's easier to smudge. Just buy a cheap gel pen or borrow one to try it out. I vote ink

I like gel far better than regular ink. I've one in the pen I use everyday at work and it's lasted more than a year.
