Chalko Gel Pens Set Review

Chalko Gel Pens Set Review

I am a huge fan of adult coloring books. I am especially fond of using gel pens to color because the fine tips allows me to color tiny and intricate pictures. I was a kid when gel pens first became popular. However, the original gel pens tended to clog up and dry out quickly. Now twenty years late, I am happy to say that the design has improved, making gel pens one of my favorite writing utensils. My preschooler daughter and toddler son are also fond of using my gel pens. Thus, when recently offered the chance to review the 48-count pack of gel pens from Chalko in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to add to my ever growing art supply collection.

Price

The 48-count pack of Chalko gel ink pens currently retails for $19.99 with a sale price of $12.96 on Amazon. Most other brands cost the same or a bit more for the same number of pens. A few competitors cost a few cents less per pen. I do find the full price a bit high but would pay the current sale price. I therefore rate the Chalko gel pens positively in terms of price.

Performance

I am quite pleased with my new 48-count pack of Chalko gel ink pens. Despite my negative experiences with gel pens that died out quickly back in junior high, I am a renewed fan of the writing medium. Chalko gel pens glide on smoothly and consistently. When I was a kid, I often needed to suck on the tips of my original gel pens to get the clogged ink flowing again because the pens clogged up frequently. The ink in my Chalko gel pens starts flowing as soon as I start writing and never stops. I was able to color an entire page in my coloring book without once getting angry at the pens!

With a rainbow of colors and hues included in the 48-count pack, I am never at a loss for the perfect pen while coloring in my adult coloring books. My favorite by far are the glitter pens. I love that I can add some sparkle to my coloring. Although all the pens work well, the glitter pens seem to work the best for my tastes. The ink comes out quickly and evenly, and the glitter spreads out smoothly. My preschooler daughter also loves watching me color with the glitter pens. She also loves glitter and enjoys pointing out all the sparkles in my pictures. The swirl pens are also really neat. Multiple colors comes out and mix together to make unique shades. Both my preschool and toddler also love picking through the rainbow of colors while drawing with me.

I first used my new gel ink pens from Chalko on the white pages of one of my adult coloring books. The colors show up true and bright against the white paper. However, another positive of gel pens is that the ink shows up on both light and dark paper. Even against dark black paper, the ink shows up legibly, especially the lighter and metallic colors. The vivid ink also looks awesome next to the black background in my men’s coloring book. Both my kids love using my Chalko gel pens. My daughter loves writing and drawing with the pens, and even my toddler son can work the pens quite well. I definitely agree that these gel pens are perfect for children and adults alike.
