Gel pen FAQ

What is a gel pen?

A gel pen uses water-based gel ink that flows smoothly and dries quickly, giving cleaner lines and richer colour than a standard ballpoint. KACO gel pens use a 0.5 mm fine point, which suits journaling, note-taking and everyday writing.

How do you get a gel pen to write again?

Scribble in small circles on scrap paper to restart the ink flow, then store the pen tip-down. A clog near the tip or a dried refill is the usual cause, not an empty barrel.

How should I store gel pens?

Store gel pens horizontally or tip-down in a cool, dry place. This keeps ink feeding to the nib and stops it drying out between uses.

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

Gel ink is thicker and pigment-rich for smoother, bolder lines, while ballpoint ink is oil-based and drier. Gel pens suit journaling and colour work; ballpoints suit long, fast writing.

Are KACO gel pens refillable?

Yes. KACO gel pens take 0.5 mm replacement refills, so you keep the barrel and swap the ink when it runs low.
