There’s nothing better than writing with a smooth, highly pigmented gel pen. Seeing your pen flow across the page as you write or draw can inspire you to go above and beyond with whatever project you’re completing. Additionally, because gel pen ink is so pigmented, your work will have a stronger impact and will last for decades, especially if you used a black gel pen.

Black ink is one of the most common colors associated with pens, and you’re likely to have dozens of black ink pens around your home or office. But, black gel pens are a cut above the rest because of their ultra-pigmented ink and amazing writing quality. If you’re in need of a new black gel pen, keep reading to learn more about them.

What Are Gel Ink Pens?

Gel ink pens are writing instruments that use a water-based gel that’s combined with pigment to produce a thick, viscous ink. Gel pens come in black, blue, red, and many other color varieties. Ink from gel pens tends to show up more clearly on dark or slick surfaces than ballpoint pens and are used mostly for writing and illustrating. Black gel pens are water-resistant, but they do take longer to dry, which can lead to smudging or smearing. But, after the ink is dry, you’re left with a beautiful, vibrant product that is unlike anything other pens can produce.

What Other Qualities Do Black Gel Pens Have?

In addition to the gel ink being more opaque and pigmented, the gel pen itself has its own set of unique characteristics. First, black gel ink pens are known for their smooth writing experience. The tips of these pens allow the ink to flow out uniformly, which helps when making a smooth, flowy script. This quality is especially handy if you write a lot or need to take quick notes.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that gel ink pens tend to skip more than ballpoint or rollerball pens. Because gel ink is so viscous, it’s much more likely to produce tiny bubbles that interfere with the pen’s ink distribution. But, the smoothness of the pen allows it to quickly correct itself so you can continue creating your project.

What Should I Look for in a Black Gel Ink Pen?

Staples has a huge assortment of black gel pens for you to choose from. We have refillable gel pens, erasable pens, fine- and needle-tip pens, and more. So as you’re browsing through our inventory, think of some of the features you’ll need in a pen and go from there.

Let’s dive into some of the other types of features you can get from a black gel pen:

  • If refillable pens aren’t your thing, consider getting a pack of black gel pens. They can range from two pens to 48!
  • To keep your fingers comfortable, some pens offer ergonomic rubberized grips.
  • Some pens feature acid-free and non-toxic ink, which can be a consideration if children will be using them.
  • To protect your surroundings from ink spills, many of our black gel pens are retractable or feature convenient caps.
  • Some pen models offer “quick-drying” ink, so if you want to avoid smudging problems, these models might be the way to go.
  • Some pens offer “non-fading” ink to ensure the longevity and vividness of a project.
