I’ve talked about it in previous posts but I want to reiterate that I’ve been surprised with the quality and variety coming from Writech. I decided to try the Writech Sprinkles 0.5 mm Gel Pen ( 5-Color Set) ($12.10) which features such an unusual color set for a “basic color set”. The Sprinkles set include: Azure (blue), Coffee (brown), Grass Green, Hot Pink, and Iris Blue (purple).
The barrels feature a gradient representation of the ink color. The width of the barrel is comfortable, not quite as wide as the Uni One shape.
The tips are a conical shape like most gel pens. The knock mechanism is SILENT so you won’t make anyone antsy if you fidget click.
I mislabelled the color names but its not a big deal. The hot pink, lime green and purple (Blue Iris) are pretty common in the gel pen market but the blue (Azure) has a cornflower hue to it — a little powdery with an undertone of lavender — is pleasantly surprising, And the addition of the coffee brown color is not always included in these small gel pen color sets so its nice to see it in the mix.
Overall, these pens write beautifully, are comfortable to use and feature a quiet knock make them a fine choice if you’re looking for a set of fun gel pens at a reasonable price.
