It's so easy today to simply write a casual e-mail or instant message to thank someone for a thoughtful gift or to invite a close friend to a party, but a handwritten note can still bring a smile to someone's face when they receive it in the mail. Use uni-ball® gel pens to create a smooth, flowing writing experience and make writing those notes fun. For more writing utensil choices, check out our selection of fine gel pens and extra-fine gel pens.
Point Type
One of the features to look at when selecting a uni-bell gel pen is the point type. Ranging from extra fine to bold, the point type helps indicate the thickness of the line that the pen creates. A fine tip is a great choice when you want to make thin, elegant lines and neat, tight letters. If you want to grab the attention of your readers, try using a bold point to make thick, chunky lines. If you find yourself with ink stains in your pocket or purse, think about choosing a pen with a retractable tip to minimize the mess it creates.
Gel Ink Qualities
Using a gel-based ink creates a smooth writing experience with almost no skips or blobs. Gel inks can provide an intense color not usually found in other inks and are great for writing personal notes, letters and invitations. If you're creating a scrapbook, try using an acid-free gel ink that won't fade, so your precious memories are preserved. Certain other gel-based inks are designed to be trapped in ink, helping to prevent check and document fraud, check washing and other document alterations.
