Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a gel pen and a ballpoint pen?

A: Gel pens use a water-based gel ink that flows more smoothly and produces richer, more vibrant colors, making them great for detailed writing or artwork. Ballpoint pens use a thicker, oil-based ink that dries almost instantly on contact with paper, making them more resistant to smearing and longer-lasting overall. Both have their advantages — gel pens are prized for comfort and color, while ballpoints are valued for durability and reliability.

Q: What type of pen is best for left-handed writers?

A: Left-handed writers tend to benefit most from quick-dry or fast-drying ink pens, such as our 12-Pack 0.5mm Retractable Gel Pens – Fast-Drying Black Ink, which minimize smearing as the hand drags across the page. Ballpoint pens are also a solid choice since their oil-based ink dries on contact.

Q: What pencil grade should I use for drawing and sketching?

A: Pencil grades range from hard (H) to soft (B). For drawing and sketching, a 2B pencil is a popular all-around choice — it produces dark, expressive lines without being too difficult to erase. Harder grades like HB or H are better suited to precise technical drawing, while softer grades (4B, 6B) are ideal for shading and blending.

Q: Can paint markers be used on surfaces other than paper?

A: Yes! Paint markers like our 3-Pack Weather-Resistant Paint Markers for Stone, Metal & Plastic are specially formulated to adhere to non-porous surfaces including rock, glass, metal, wood, and plastic. They are also waterproof and weather-resistant, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Q: What are fountain pen nibs and do they fit all fountain pens?

A: Fountain pen nibs are the metal tips that control ink flow and line width. They come in various sizes — such as extra-fine (0.38mm) and fine (0.5mm) — to suit different handwriting styles. Not all nibs are universally compatible, so it's important to check that the nib size and brand are designed to fit your specific fountain pen model. Our 10-Pack Metal Fountain Pen Nibs – 0.38mm & 0.5mm Tips are a great option for writers looking to customize or replace their pen's nib.
