The Search for the perfect White Gel Pen

I received an e-mail from Terri Honz “thonz on SCS”, she wanted to know what White Gel Pen I use.  Well Terri my current favorite is a White Gelly Roll Pen.  All it says on the side of it is Gelly Roll, Med, Sakura/Japan.  I picked it up at Michaels for around $2.00, if my feeble brain remembers right, lol.

I have purchased many white pens, most of them have clogged long before the ink was gone.  I have a really bad habit of using them on wet card-stock, over melted embossing powder, chalk, prismacolor pencils, etc., etc.

Stampin’ Up sells this other one shown in the picture above.  It’s a uni-ball Signo, medium point.  It is also a pretty good pen. 

I heard through the grapevine Ranger is coming out with a fantastic white pen, I suppose I will have to buy it so I can report to you here my findings.  You enablers, sigh. . . . . .

Sorry for the short post today.  I’m working on projects for the fan club gallery on SCS which will be unveiled the 15th.  Yikes!  the 15th and it’s almost here.  Gotta go!

Have a fantastically creative day!

    Thanks for the reply Michelle! It’s off to Michaels I go! It’s hard to find a really good opaque pen that doesn’t skip. I hope someone carries the new Ranger pen soon. I’ve been searching for that one, but no one seems to have it yet.

    Hello Michelle,

    I really like this post, I also use the Gelly Roll white gel pen. I have had the same problems as everyone else, that is not being able to use all the ink in the pen. Fear not I have a sure fire way to fix any gel pen that just won’t write. I’ll take some pictures of how to fix this and post it on my blog. I know for sure that you will like it. I made a presentation to a bunch of Stampin’ Up demonstrators at one of their meetings they invited me to. In the end they were all amazed at how I fixed a problematic gel pen at the meeting.

    Take care,
    Pure-Genius, Captain Crafter, Greg
