All of the Gelly Roll pens I have purchase are great quality! You can go to the Sakura web-site as the opacity and papers they work well with are different for the different types of gelly roll pens, souffle, moonlight, stardust, metallic,ect...If you are a scrapbooker the souffle and glaze pens have some texture when dry and do well on acrylic.

Gelly Roll makes the best milky gel pens. The pen is air tight and keeps the ink fluid so the ink rolls off of the ball with no false starts.

Consider my rating 4 1/2 stars. I have been trying to find multicolor gel pens for use on black paper for some time now. In my experience with others, the flow was very inconsistent and the color was more like a watercolor or virtually did not show up at all. Occasionally I would get some where some of the colors showed up but others would not.

These work! All the lighter colors show up brilliantly on black paper and a couple of the darker colors show up less on black paper, which is to be expected. I have not tried them in UV light yet but with the great way they show up in regular light, I'm not concerned about how well they work in UV light. You can produce some really nice art with these on black paper.

Almost perfect, with only the occasional flow problem, but better than any I have found. Others that may not like these probably don't have experience with other pens and don't know that this really is as good as it gets with gel pens for use on black paper. Highly recommended!

Honest reviews on Sakura 38176 10-Piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors Blister Card

I am a commercial artist who uses pastel gel pens a lot. This product, Sakura 38176 10-piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors, is a popular example. The downside of pastel gel pens is that they quit working after a rather short period of time. Well, I am excited to report that here is an answer to this problem!

Here's how: (1) Heat some water to simmer in a large diameter frying pan (fill about 1/4 the pan). (2) Place your dry pens in a cake pan, and float the cake pan in the simmering water. (3) If you have one, put a lid over the frying pan. No lid? Not a problem. (4) Let pens warm up for around 10-15 minutes, then take them out of the frying pan. (5) Choose a pen to experiment and make some scribble circles on paper. You should be rewarded with a flow of pastel ink! That's it. Good luck to you.

I LOVE Sakura's gelly pens. I've been using them since the 'fad' of dark paper got started. By the way, where did all that dark paper go? I wish I'd bought up all the black notebook paper I could get my hands on! Ahem, back to the subject. These Moonlight gelly pens by Sakura are very freeflowing, have a medium point, and as advertised on the package 'act like paint pens on most surfaces'. Five of the ten colors are 'regular' pens, with intense, vivid ink in different shades including a wonderful blue and a teal green that's very hard to find. The other five colors are what I'd call 'neon' but they aren't described that way. The package lists these five colors as 'glow under black light'. I haven't got access to blacklight type lights, so I can't comment on how the pens perform when exposed to it. However, these 'neon' shades are just as vivid and intense as the others, and offer a nice, lighter color contrast to the first five pens. I have used these to detail some celtic-type designs on the title page of a book I own, and have used them in various coloring-type books, as well as writing with them. Unless you are scrapbooking, it would be a waste to just write with this set of pens. They work so wonderfully as 'paint pens' I'm saving them for exactly that. The flow is excellent, easy control, quick drying (don't smudge for at least 30 seconds to be safe-when all 'wet' looking areas are gone, the ink is dry, waterproof, etc.) The ink in these pens creates a slightly 'raised' feel (very subtle, though) when the ink is dry-on paper. I haven't tried them on other surfaces, though several are listed on the package as suggestions. I have a feeling I'll be ordering these again in the near future. I love the metallic, sparkle and other effects. I'm on the lookout for some 'swirl' type 'milky' gel pens (as hard to find as black paper!), but these moonlight pens are an excellent addition to my pen collection! I've ordered from this seller several times in the last 2 years and have been impressed with the professionalism, speed of delivery, quality of product and packaging every time! Go ahead and try these pens, you won't be disappointed.
