For permanent markers, try dipping the tip of the marker in alcohol for just a few minutes, until you see color coming from the tip of the marker. Soak the tip of the marker in tissue to get rid of the alcohol and try writing on a piece of scratch paper. It will start out a faded color but quickly turn into its original color. I have tried this wwith BIC pens only, but pretty sure it would would work with any permanent marker.

I have found that the only gel pen set that I have ever bought that has not failed me even once you can order on Amazon. The name of these gel pens is Soucolor and the selection that you get in their sets is amazing. The sad part is I cannot find them open stock anywhere.

Try removing the pen nib and soaking it in warm water for a few minutes. The most common cause of your gel pen not producing ink is that it is clogged. Inside the nib, a minute amount of ink has solidified. Soaking the nib in water, on the other hand, will assist the stuck ink to liquefy anew. Put it back into the ink cartridge after soaking it and try scribbling it on the paper.

Thank you for writing this post, this is very helpful for me to choose a great gel pen. I think Pilot g2 is also a great pen.

I have the problem when coloring with gel pens that they leave white “bubbles” where coloring. This happens with different paper and brands of gel pens. How can I solve this?
